Since we have the 25th and 30th pick, this situtation is alot more better to be in than most people think. With the 25th and 30th pick the Leafs should draft
25th- Jonathan Miller
30th - Rocco Grimaldi
First of all, two Americans, Brian Burke type of players, both have chemistry playing in the Natinal American Development Program, both will be playing in the University of North Dakota next year, their chemistry will develop, so then when there playing with the Marlies in the AHL they will be an amazing duo, and then imagine having thse two guys on line for the Toronto Maple Leafs, with all that history on their side by playing together.
Jonathan "JT" Miller- He's already met Brian Burke, he seems to fit the Brian Burke type of player, he is a power forward, posses good speed, is not afraid to go hard to the net, this guy is a pure checking line forward, he can be a good PK forward, he is very physical at 6-1, 198 pounds, and he is not afraid to drop the gloves, he seems to really fit the Leafs organization, scouts have him compared to Brandon Dubinsky and even Ryan Kesler.
Rocco Grimaldi - Yes he is small, only 5-6, 165 pounds, but he is a really talented guy offensively, if it werent for his size scouts would have had him in the top 5, he has lightning speed, strong on the puck, not afraid to throw hits, and a goal scorer, scouts have him compared to Brian Gionta, and Daniel Briere, in my opinion this guy is the next Martin St.Louis.
I think if Burke drafts Miller and Grimaldi the 2011 NHL draft will become one of the most successful ones for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
