Maple Leafs Draft Edition

Well, it is that time of year for the Maple Leafs, along with the rest of the League. So it is time for me to put on my wizard hat. This draft, the Leafs' first goal should be a dman, centre. The Leafs might very well be looking for a deal to replace JVR, but the top priority is a centre and defence.

There are two centres and one dman, so which one? I suspect the Leafs will go with a big defenceman to add some size on that blue line.

Alexander Alexeyev 25

6'3" and a little less than 200 pounds, it's Alexander to the rescue. He is a nasty player who will use his size to impose his will on opposing forwards. Alexander is a big defender with speed who can get where he needs to. He is tough to get off his feet. He will be a solid defenceman in time if the Leafs are patient with him. He would fill a big void for the Leafs.

Jacke Mcbain  52

A big centre who works hard in the corner. Jack may not be the sniper, but he is a big body who will develop into a two or three centre. An all-around player who is good at all his aspects of the game.

Matej Blümel 86

Matej is a very fast, skillful forward. He uses his speed to create space in the offensive zone. HIghly skilled offensively, he needs time to develop in the defensive zone. He needs to add some weight to get sturdy on his feet, too often he gets hit and loses the puck.

Riley Sutter 118

He is a Sutter, need I say more? Yes, a full-grown Sutter.

Some other picks and random guesses:

Axel Andersson 151

Nicolas Guay 209

Logan Cash 211
