I'd maybe put him top 5, but I don't know why some leafs fans freak out when you say he isn't a top 3 pick in this draft
Toronto did exactly what you want to happen in a draft....... Meaning they found a player who should be drafted higher than the position they chose him in.
No problem with him not being top 3, problem with the idea of him top 3 laughed off.
That's the bottom line, in a hypothetical world where Willie is a late born 95 like SR and Drai and goes into the draft with an 18 year old season as a ppg SHL 1C and a 10 point wjc's there's no chance in hell he's on the board at 8. The same could be said with Detroit and Larkin.
