As it sits, my top 5 are:
1. a)Ekblad
1. b)Dal Colle
3. Draisaitl
4. Reinhart
5. Nylander
Ekblad has all the makings of a franchise defender. He has a monstrous shot from the point. It would be a very good opportunity to have him develop with Gio.
Dal Colle on the other hand is the much needed 'beef' that Burke was talking about. The kid is a bull in a china shop. He goes hard to the net, has a wicked shot, and a larger frame which is sorely lacking in this draft. Last but definitely not least, he's a very confident kid.
I'm torn between the two above. They are tied for first on my personal list.
Draisaitl is another big body, but an all around talent. He doesn't have as much crash and bang in his arsenal, but another kid I would love to see within the Flames' ranks.
Bennett is talented, but to me he looks like another Monahan, with a slightly faster foot speed. That's why he's off my top 5 list.
