Craig is being really dumb here. First, that wouldn't be the correct way to say fourth versus eighth. Second, there is a consensus top 5, and after that it opens up considerably. If Craig doesn't understand how much better a fit for this team Strome and Marner are over guys like Werenski, Crouse, Rantanen etc... then he shouldn't be opining about the draft.
The whole article is essentially one big invocation of the Oilers argument. It's stupid and lazy. Worse yet, it completely ignores the largely listless play the past three years that has gotten the Coyotes to this point.
I expect a more nuanced take from a legit beat writer. I worry because Morgan's take is often a regurgitation of what management is telling him. Maybe it wasn't the plan and they really are that dumb.
Crouse's stock is sky rocketing. He could potentially leap Hanifin at this point.
