So, the Leafs picked eleven prospects up in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft this past weekend. While Auston Matthews at 1st overall was a gimme, the prevailing opinion with respect to the team's later round picks was largely negative.
Personally, I think it was a decent draft.
[/record scratches] wait, what?
Don't get me wrong. I didn't agree with every single pick the Leafs made. I too felt going off the board at #31 with guys like Alex DeBrincat and Tyler Benson available made little sense to me. Picking Keaton Middleton in the fourth round seemed, to say the least, odd, but it is the fourth round.
