He's rocketed up a couple of lists, specifically The Hockey Writers who have him 4th and HockeyProspect.com who have him ranked 3rd.
Unless he's heads and shoulders above the other players left (which I doubt he will be) we will take someone a lot stronger and bigger IMO.

We have a chance to take a big skilled forward or a powerforward this draft (or a big defenseman). This draft seems pretty deep at the top end in big forwards. So pretty much zero chance we take a smaller skilled forward like an Ehlers or Nylander.

Draisaitl with 2 goals, 2 assists today vs the Hitmen. Lot's of conflicting reports on this guy, gonna be interesting to watch his rankings as the season concludes.
