Should the Toronto Maple Leafs Take a Chance On Liam Kirk?

Liam Kirk is an 18 year old, draft eligible prospect playing in the EIHL (the top level of UK hockey). His impressive numbers earned him an invitation to the NHL scouting combine, a privilege usually reserved for 100 or so of the top young players. This, even though many scouts and scouting services leave Kirk outside of their top 100 and often the top 200. Could the Toronto Maple Leafs take a chance with a late pick?

Kirk has been putting up incredible numbers for years now. During his time in England’s under 16 league, he posted a staggering 111 points in just 33 games.
