Running through a mock draft without cheating and giving your team a good pick is very instructive. One thing it has revealed is that once you get to the 15th pick, the chances a player who is really cool with a lot of buzz will be there to be taken is fairly small.
This naturally leads to a little disappointment from Leafs fans. We had a terrible playoffs. The season was frustrating, and the next season will start... someday. We want fun at the draft, and I think that’s a valid way to feel — for us, that is, not Kyle Dubas.
