Looking at one of the very best playmakers in this year's draft, who will likely fall to the middle rounds because of issues with his speed.

The NHL Draft is 8 days away and the Stanley Cup hasn't been handed out.

Let's look at forwards for a change. It's not like the Leafs don't need some.

Looking at an interesting Russian prospect with two-way potential in Yegor Surin, who went from being an undersized skilled guy to a versatile, dual-threat power forward in a year.

No water bottles were harmed in the making of this FTB.

Looking at the fast skating, hard shooting, and hard working forward that went from playing in a Jersey AAA league last year to being the top goal scoring rookie in the USHL this year with one of the best names in this year's draft: John Mustard.

Is the third time the charm for the Panthers?

No, not Marner, not Cowan either, but there is trade potential.

Looking at the highly skilled and speedy center/winger, Luke Misa, who was one of the top producing players in the OHL last year.

Please send them to the post-season. We've been there for weeks.

Looking at a late blooming two-way winger, Teddy Stiga from the US National Development Team. He's grown a good amount both literally and figuratively the past two seasons, and seems to fit what Toronto likes in their top prospects.

Looking at a true defensive defenseman specialist with potential as a solid two-way guy, EJ Emery. There's a lot of debate about how much his offensive skill projects, but there's no question about his defensive impact.

Will it be over on Saturday?

Looking at a big, mobile, puck moving defenseman Dominik Badinka from Czechia, and if his strengths make him an ideal pick in the late first round for Toronto.

The offseason may begin on Sunday morning.

Looking at the big, bruising defenseman from Norway, Stian Solberg, and if he has some late blooming potential that would make for a great first round swing by Toronto.

Just wait until the SCF is over.

Pick one, any one...

Looking at one of Sweden's top defense prospects in this year's draft, Alfons Freij. He's a smooth skating defenseman who is already very refined offensively and shows promise defensively.

The Florida Panthers are leading the finals. Will Stanley head back to the beach?

Just UFAs today. But be warned: I don't like the guys you like.

Looking at one of Sweden's top forward prospects in this year's draft, Lucas Pettersson. He's a slightly undersized but effective two-way center with strong skating and playmaking skill.
