Even if the kid is a potential number one draft pick and the sort of player who puts bums on seats? This kid is that good in my mind I think the wait is well worth it...This is all assuming a deal could be done mind youI don't think we would go for the 17yo mini draft, I would say the club would be worried about the drop in crowd numbers and probably membership again next year, so having to wait an extra year before this kid was eligible to play might be a deciding factor, hope it isn't but very afraid it will be.
