To me, if you can get another 6'2" centre with elite offenisve upside... No brainer to me. Him and Monahan down the middle would complement each other perfectly, a good two way guy and an elite passer/playmaker. Could be set at pivot for a decade. Wingers are the last piece you add and the easiest to acquire which is why he should be picked before dal colle or ritchie. |
That's an interesting read for sure..... I saw some of the stuff he's talking about, but it wasn't that impressive. I think this writer is an Oiler fan, already touting this guy like he's theirs. If it wasn't for the announcement of the goals, I wouldn't have even known Draisaitl was in on them. Either I can't see, or he wasn't noticeable to me. I did see Lowe and McTavish in the box directly across from ours, and if they are interested in him, he can't be that good
