How surprised were you that the Leafs went with Mitch Marner and not Noah Hanifin? Now post-draft, you’re looking at their system with Marner and all the guys they took on Day 2 and the guys they got in the Phil Kessel trade, and now this is a very strong farm system.
I wasn’t incredibly surprised. I don’t think that you can look at that organization and say they had one particular need. This is a team that entered the draft with a mediocre farm system, they were one of the worst teams in the league the previous season. You’re in a position where you have to take the best player available on your board.
