Your team is on the clock! PICK #9 (Fan Base Mock Entry Draft)

[Coily]

So in this hypothetical draft, the next team will probably select Zacha judging by the interest so far.

That means Crouse would go outside the top 10. I don't think i've seen a single ranking with Crouse outside the top 10.

Nobody wants to draft someone like Dustin Brown with a top 10 pick.

The only teams IMO who even consider taking Crouse top-10 would be Carolina, Philly, Columbus, us, or Colorado. And of those team, I really think it's down to us or Colorado. Ultimately, I think it's Colorado.

Maybe not today's Dustin Brown, but the Dustin Brown of three years ago? Absolutely.

I'll be a bit surprised if Crouse doesn't go in the top 10.

I dunno why, but I have this funny feeling Carolina drafts him. I don't have any really good explanation for it.

most rankings have him in the top 3-7. If he slides down a few spots to 9 or 10, is that something the Sharks should jump on? Or would Zacha and Werenski still be the BPA?

Zacha & Werenski would still be the BPA but Crouse's size, smarts, two way play (among other things) & the fact he's not for off from the NHL could very easily make him SJ's target.

Wouldn't want any Dustin Brown on this team, he's a coward.

Because he adds size and speed.

Holy moly this is why player comps are dumb as hell. Crouse is nothing like Brown in that regard.

I could definitely see the Sharks taking Crouse.
