I'm not at all liking what I've read about Draisaitl. His pace (both thinking and skating) is on the slow side, he's a little soft, inconsistent, a number of scouts are very skeptical about his upside as a #1C. Button just appeared on TSN really plugging him, though. Taking Dal Colle seems like an overdose of LW's.
Virtanen or Fleury sound just as good at 4-6. When the best player available isn't clear, there's nothing wrong with drafting based on need, provided your scouts are high on the guy.
