You guys have to remember that this is a very weak draft, both at the top end and depth wise.
The top 5 guys are all going to have warts. Sean Monahan is probably a better prospect than all of them.
Personally, have not been impressed by Draisaitl at all but that's only when you think of him as a top-5 pick and in a normal draft year he wouldn't be. But if the draft is weak that isn't his fault.
Draisaitl, Dal Colle, Bennett, they all are flawed prospects who are by no means guaranteed first line NHLers. But it will still be better to get one of them and temper expectations accordingly, than someone else further down the list.
Hopefully whatever guy the Flames get, fans don't place too enormous expectations on him from the start. He'll be the highest drafted guy in Flames history but probably not the best player.
