Watched Draisaitl again tonight and still not a fan.
Has good size and decent skill like Kopitar but the comparisons end right there. He doesn't think the game at a fast enough pace and his decision making is suspect. Does well at the junior level when he has three seconds to make a play, but that won't fly when he has half a second in the NHL.
He would've been a later 1st in last years draft and really doesn't look like a blue-chip top line guy which is what you'd expect from a top-5 pick.
Hope the Flames pass on this guy.
