I don't necessarily agree with that they don't need defense, seems to me they don't have much in youth past OEL, Murphy, and Gormley, Hanifin could be the immediate solution for a top pairing defenseman to play with OEL for the next 10 years and an immediate Yandle replacement. That being said, I definitely see the upside to taking Marner, he's an absolute beast and that gives them London's entire top line in their prospect pool, immediate chemistry when they jump to the NHL.
However I think the need for a top line C is more pressing than a defender. Marner could be a Getzlaf, only issue being he's only 5'11". But I think him and Domi could really create magic.
Domi - Marner - Duclair
anyone? Godly

Chicago is the only team left in it that really has that and they're about to be in salary cap hell (not Keith or Seabrook's fault but they do have some big cap hits). Tampa has Hedman and 3 top 4 guys, as well as NYR

Arizona needs a legitimate top forward more than they need (another) legitimate top defenseman imo
and I'm a HUGE fan of Hanifin (BC fan bias)

I thought I was gonna have to make a tough decision between Werenski and Rantanen but..
The Columbus Blue Jackets are proud to select, from the Brandon Wheat Kings, Ivan Provorov!

San Jose Sharks are happy to select, Defenseman, Zach Werenski

So maybe Crouse isn't top 10 talent after all :lol:

The Colorado Avalanche are proud to select, from the Kingston Frontenacs of the OHL, left winger Lawson Crouse.

About where his talent is. 8-15

Quote:Originally posted by 12jmoritz@May 27 2015, 08:02 PMColorado is in need of a big bodied wing prospect. Lawson Crouse has all the tools necessary to be a great NHL player. He can skate, he has size and his two-way game is a blessing. Maybe he won't be a top tier NHL winger but that's a risk I'm willing to take. He's a smart player, even if his stats don't show it.
LOL way to waste a top 10 pick
