My rankings as of now:

1. Ekblad - D. We need a top two defenseman with size much more than we need another centre. He's right handed to boot. Perfect fit. Our ideal draft is landing this guy IMO and I'd be willing to give up some good assets to move up. We definitely have enough to make an attractive offer IMO especially if Buffalo is the team that ends up with the pick.
2. Reinhart - C
3. Bennett - C
4. Draisaitl - C
5. Dal Colle - LW
6. Ritchie - LW
7. Virtanen - RW
8. Perlini - LW
9. Fleury - D

I think Dal Colle and Ritchie may be closer for some than the rankings suggest. Ritchie sounds like the better fit as the more physical player and it wouldn't shock me if we took him, I almost put him ahead of Dal Colle. Still some intriguing players after the top 4 which is good because it looks like we have a slim chance of drafting that high.
