There are few more divisive prospects in this draft than an 18-year-old from Mt Brydges, Ontario. Lawson Crouse hasn't even got close to an NHL game yet, and already he's got the NHL media discussing him in depth. There are many reasons for this - some better than others.
Firstly, he's simply really hard to ignore. At 6'3 and 212lbs, the Kingston Frontenacs left-wing has the kind of size that NHL scouts salivate over like starving dogs being let into a meat locker. He's regarded by some as the very definition of "old-school" NHL material - his physical play and power-forward style have already led some to compare him to none other than Cam Neely, which as you'd imagine has got fans of that type of hockey ridiculously excited.
