It's all about making tiers and separating guys into rough potential groups, basically exactly what that spreadsheet from the Jackets above.
Last year, the Panthers really liked Barkov more so than either Drouin or Jones. The Lightning also preferred the forward over the D-man. That doesn't mean that the Flames would take Reinhart over Ekblad for sure. It would depend on what the scouts say. If they feel Ekblad is going to be all that and then some, by all means take him.
