“Imagine being Coyotes general manager John Chayka in 2015 and seeing Timo Meier, Zach Werenski and Mikko Rantanen go off the board immediately before settling on the next best player on your list: Lawson Crouse at 11th overall.”
It was Tallon with the Panthers who did that.
Thought Rantanen was gonna be there at 11 (Avs picked 10th).

There still were much better choices available for that pick. (Kyle Connor, Barzal...)
Crouse ended up in Zona as the sweetener in the trade that sent Dave Bolland’s ltir contract to them.
