He is going to destroy the OHL for the rest of the season, he really wants to be playing for the Flames.

I seriously can't believe how fortunate we were for him to fall to fourth for us. Then again, Edmonton was picking ahead of us. I'm sure Brad Treliving was giddy getting up to the podium.

I really think they're going to regret that. Draisaitl is a good player, but Bennett is on a different level. Thanks MacT and the rest of the KLown show!

Agreed. I could see draisaitl ending up more like Patrick Berglund has for St. Louis... A big, skilled center that shows rare flashes of elite talent but never turns into what they hoped. Never a legit top 2 centerman. I know people like to use kopitar as a comparison to him but I just don't see the two-way game or the speed that kopitar has.
Bennett, on the other hand, looks like he will become a game-breaker. He seems like a mix of Matt Duchene and T.J. Oshie with his physical style, compete level, and awesome hands. A future line up with Monohan, Bennett, and backlund as the one-two-three punch up the middle is going to be fun to watch. Add in gaudreau, baertschi, colborne, poirier, etc. on the wings and the future is bright.
haha. Everyone going full homer here. Bennett = game changer. Drasaitl = bust. Don't get me wrong though, I'm excited too!
Not everyone, only a few of us said anything about Draisaitl.
All of us who mentioned Draisaitl acknowledged that he's probably going to be a pretty good player in the NHL. We just think Bennett has more upside, and I think most scouts would agree. No one said he was a bust.
