Toronto Maple Leafs Select James Greenway 72nd Overall

After drafting a center, right wing, left wing and goaltender, the Toronto Maple Leas have finally dipped their toes into the defender pool at the 2016 NHL Draft.

The 6’4″, 205 lb, Greenway comes out of the United States Development Program where he had 28 points in 64 games last season.

This is a scouting report from Hockey Prospectus on Greenway:

“A big physical player, Greenway’s brother Jordan was drafted by Minnesota last year. James, despite lackluster point totals, has a very intriguing mix of physical tools to go along with his plus size. He has solid speed, occasionally shows interesting puck skills and a willingness to drive the net.
