Would love to have 2 top 25 or so picks.. Make it happen please.
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.

Its because he's huge and can skate everyone wants Lucic 2.0
Bingo. I'm confident that's the reason everyone's gushing over him. I don't see it either.
Apparently all the scouting services are jokes...
Brandon Carlo has impressed me today. Big boy, can skate, right hand dman... me likey
He's a far better skater, better vision, better iq, better shot, better passer, and rarely fights, so ya, exactly like Lucic

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.

Cue mancrush on Konecny. By everyone... including me. LOL
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

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
