INS: Lawson Crouse (Pick 11, Kingston, OHL), Samuel Montembeault (Pick 77, Blaine-Boisbriand, QMJHL), Thomas Schemitsch (Pick 88, Owen Sound, OHL), Denis Malgin (Pick 102, Zurich, SUI), Karch Bachman (Pick 132, Culver Academy, HIGH-IN), Christopher Wilkie (Pick 162, Tri-City, USHL), Patrick Shea (Pick 192, Kimball Union, HIGH-NH), Ryan Bednard (Pick 206, Johnstown, NAHL)

OUTS: NIL

Traded Zach Hyman to the Leafs for Greg McKegg before the draft, but that is neither here or there. Nothing lost and drafted a very good forward in Crouse. A nice winger for the likes of Huberdeau or Barkov down the track.

2015 DRAFT RATING: B-
