Yep, whatever they can do to get as poor a draft pick as they can without making the playoffs...even though they traded their pick away, the standings still count for where they pick in the other rounds.
When did they trade their 1st round 2008 pick away?
While not necessarily a reputable source, the depth of the information seems to make it correct. I googled and pulled it from a maple leafs forum.
The Leafs, do have a 2008 first round pick. They do not have a second round pick.
In the trade for Toskala they gave a conditional first round pick for 2007 or 08 or 09. The Sharks took the pick last year and selected Couture. They thus do not have the Leafs pick this year.
As well, the 2008 one had a top 10 protection. So even if the Sharks did not use last year the Leafs could have kept the pick this year as it would be a top 10 pick.
I was actually curious to this. I\'ve been telling Leafs fans that they should start cheering for the teams the Leafs are playing. I wanted to make sure my advice was sound.
