Draisaitl seems to have put himself in contention for the top 4. It is almost shaping up like last year where Mackinnon, Barkov, Drouin and Jones were almost a toss up. Sounds like there is not much consensus and that all of Reinhart, Ekblad, Bennett and Draisaitl may be ranked 1st by various teams. Dal Colle seems to be a favourite for 5th right now.
As usual the playoffs and Mem Cup will have a big effect on the rankings as those are the crunch times. Gonna be interesting to watch things shake out.

Ehlers and Nylander are also making a push to make it into the top 7 alongside those 5. Nice to see additional decent options as we are looking less and less likely to pick 1st-3rd.
