On the ice, he’s dynamic, exhilarating, and at times frustrating. Off the ice, he’s refreshingly honest, self-assured, and — yes — cocky. As a first-round pick of the New York Islanders, Josh Ho-Sang has been picked apart and scrutinized. And not only does he profess to not care about what people think; he also feels they’re not seeing the real him.

Tend to think teams like Montreal, Toronto, passing on this player when they did will surely come back to haunt him. Cockey or not he puts butts in the seats and can , and will anchor any PP in the league. Josh will go down as one of the biggest blunders in the 2014 draft. Once he is around older players he will be just fine, and believe me he will be on a mission.

Ho Sang was a top 10 player at least in that draft, the New York islanders were the only team to trade to get him as late as they did. My thoughts are, that other teams like the ones mentioned will reget they did not follow suit a lot earlier. The Leafs made the right move with Nylander even over Richie but they also had the assetts to acquire HoSang before New York don't you think?

I'm cool with your clarification. Just interpreted your post as Toronto passing on him where they picked (Nylander), but now I know you meant swinging a separate deal for a late 1st.

I'd agree he's a top 10 talent. Player--I'd have to see the zebra change its stripes for a larger sample size, so to speak.
