Pierre-Olivier Joseph is not normally a player we would be looking at for the 2017 draft. He’s ranked by almost everyone well below the spot the Leafs will pick in the first round, but well above their likely second round pick number (somewhere in the fifties).
But Craig Button picked Joseph as his choice for the Leafs to take in the first round in his mock draft. We could laugh and walk away, but maybe he knows something no one else knows. It has happened before.
