GDT: 2015 NHL Entry Draft (At Least we're not Boston) - Round 1

[AwesomePanthers]

If Crouse played a full OHL season, he would have scored around 40 goals. Then no one would say "some offensive upside".

29 goals in 56 games is pretty good in his draft year.

I don't see how people can be happy taking a guy who is projected to be a second or third line player at #11 overall in on of the best drafts in a long time. We need pure offense. Someone with first line potential. We can take a riskier pick with our quality depth. He's going back to juniors and he'll continue to put up less than exciting numbers but has all the intangibles.

He's got a cool nickname now. #Worm

Maybe Boston takes that Russian goalie, whatever his name was..

I am sad you?

 

[ShootIt]

I like the pick. Not an elite player but can be a Lucic type of player.

I'm not sad, just more underwhelmed.

A lot of people do think Crouse has 1st line potential. What skill does Rantanan have that Crouse doesn't that makes Rantanant more of a 1st line potential guy?

 

[Chino Oscar]

McKenzie is unreal with his predictions

 

[FlaPanthers11]

What is Boston doing? Only taking one of Barzal, Connor, and Konecny?

 

[SoupyFIN]

I am sad you?

I don't know how to feel yet. Have to look at some videos about Crouse first.

Boston making bad deals, and then making some weird picks..

From what I've read most think he's going to be a second line guy and could slot anywhere in the lineup. His question mark is offensive potential. We needed a scoring winger. I don't see how Crouse addresses that.

Hey Dale, we need a trade to energize the people here.......so gloomy right now

Really.

If TK Or MB to 17-18 I hope Dale is working the phones.

Another Q.Howden.. Hopefully i am the one eating worms for saying that.

Wow Bruins fans must be on suicide watch. The trades and then these picks?!

He really doesn't. They must have their eye on another player.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Crouse did put up 29 goals in 56 games. Looks like he didn't have much to work with as far as linemates go.

Espescially on a defensive team.

I'm glad we drafted Crouse, I wanted Rantanen, but Crouse will be really good.

My god. Edmonton gonna get McDavid and one of Connor/Konecky/Barzal
