Without a doubt. Absolutely paramount if we're going to dismantle this core. Some insanely talented players available in the first two rounds of this draft.
Marner & Konecny in the first round of this draft would be insane. I would probably shed tears of joy.

Crouse is not a top 10 talent. Central scouting is a joke.
If you can't produce at least a PPG in the OHL, it doesn't mean you're not a good enough prospect, but it certainly suggests you aren't a top 5 prospect in what is widely regarded as the best draft in almost a decade.

Beauvillier making some nifty moves here in the 3rd. Like him as well for a 2nd rounder. Also undersized but loads of skill.
Was hoping to see more out of Speers but I haven't even noticed him on the ice.

Bingo. I'm confident that's the reason everyone's gushing over him. I don't see it either.

He's a far better skater, better vision, better iq, better shot, better passer, and rarely fights, so ya, exactly like Lucic
They're all stuck in their own ways, going for size. Every scouting service predicted Luke Schenn was a top 10 (most top 5) type talent.
If the Leafs picked Crouse over Marner or Strome, I'd be absolutely livid. Luckily I doubt that happens now with Hunter/Dubas around.

Not saying he's his twin more like saying everyone wants that prolific power forward.. which up until this year its hard to argue that Lucic hasnt been the best.. Crouse hasnt done anything for me either. Didnt do much in WJC. Have to hit a Kingston game to check him out

Lucic 2.0. A big power forward that strikes fear into the opposition. Not Lucic himself.
I don't care what anyone says, Crouse shouldn't be ranked as high as he is. If he was 6' 190 Lbs he wouldn't even be playing in this game tonight.

Didn't look anything like Lucic to me during the WJC or this game. Didn't see a good pass or shot from him at all tonight.
He has that effect on gir... *cough* *voice deepens* men like us.
I like this kid a lot, not sure how his game will transition as a Center due to his size, but he's a hard worker and very intelligent so it's not absurd to see him become a very good Center in the NHL.
No one is going to pick Crouse over either guy, but he is a legit top 10 guy
He is more than a Nick Ritchie type. He can play everywhere and do everything. He doesn't have the top end talent of a Marner, or the vision of a Strome, but this guy could give you JVR numbers with all the things he doesn't bring. No teams are passing on that

Interesting you say that so do you think the leafs made a mistake in taking Nylander over Ritchie? Because I take Nylander over him everyday
