Mirtle: Maple Leafs divided front office pushes for Marner and Hanifin - The Globe and Mail

James Mirtle is under the impression that despite there being some serious love for Hanifin from people within the organization including Babcock, the Leafs have Marner ranked ahead of him on their draft board:

The Leafs’ list

1. Connor McDavid

2. Jack Eichel

3. Mitch Marner

4. Noah Hanifin

5. Dylan Strome

sounds like its Buffalo or San Jose for Bieksa

this will give Sir Bennington the ability to overpay for Franson

He's going to get overpaid by whoever for a second pair d-man. Might as well let Edmonton be the ones to do so.

Im happy too

Draft intrigue revolves around Coyotes' No. 3 pick - Article - TSN

Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said on Thursday he wasn't going to "go crazy" to jump up five spots in the draft, but the belief is his best offer isn't yet on the table. One offer was believed to include Artem Anisimov, 2013 first-rounder Kerby Rychel and the No. 8 pick. That wouldn't appear to be enough.

Hopefully they also acquire Bieksa and give up another 1st in the process. Nothing like winning a jackpot and then shooting yourself in the face.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

hehehehe

If this is the case (AZ needing to take on cap salary) why not deal the pick for ROR? They can probably squeeze both him and the 10th pick for 3rd because Colorado absolutely needs a d-man in return for him one way or another.

Also wondering if they can get 3rd without giving up the 10th and move that for a cut-price Dion Phaneuf. He'd eventually be a second-pair D behind Barrie/Hanifin and might even work out well with Erik Johnson...

Cap Circumvention rage rising...

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

hehehehe

Maybe acquiring Bieksa is some master plan to send Joe and Marleau packing?

Maybe that's what's going back to Vancouver?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

so legwand and Lehner for the 21st pick

 

[Nasty_Magician]

so legwand and Lehner for the 21st pick

I think that's a decent move for both teams.

RUN AWAY YOU BALD FINNISH BASTARD

I would turn my attention to Dougie at this point. If WPG gets the #3, then Jarmo should send "the package" to BOS for Dougie. If Dougie winds up in the package that nets Boston #3, then make the same offer for him to ARI.

Or work on NJD, and see if they can pry Severson or (God willing) Merrill out of it.

Jackets need to step away from the 3. It's too crazy to do at this point.

Coming away with Hamilton, Severson or Merril > coming away with Provorov or Werenski at this point.

I think Bryan Murray just robbed his nephew blind.

No idea if that could happen, but I think the 10th for Celine would be fantastic.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I rank both Lack and Talbot higher than Lehner. If Lehner got the 21st pick and let the Sens dump a contract Vancouver and NYR could be getting top ten picks here.

thank you for legitimizing a rumour I saw that it was Lack and Bieksa for San Joses #9 pick

Colorado is one of those long-rumoured homes for Celine. If they pull something off with AZ, it would make a lot of sense. 10th pick for a $5 million Phaneuf seems fair.

I could see that, but #23 would probably have to go to SJ. Which I think Van fans would be a-ok with.
