I would go with Reinhart or Dal Colle instead of Ekblad.

We do not have any high end prospects beyond Gaudreau (too short) and Monahan. We need another awesome forward prospect that's of their calibre.

I would use every other pick that we have in the top 4 rounds on D-men though. I'd repeat the process again next year as well.

It's just that it is possible to get a franchise D-man at 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 or 90 as you are with one in the top 3. So, if you get say 3 more defensemen in the 1st/3rd rounds instead of using it on Ekblad then you are almost as likely to get someone as good in the NHL while having a very good forward prospect.
