I agree with SCH - they may in fact have Draisaitl higher than Ekblad.
Oilers need a defencemen, but you can argue that organizationally, they need a center with size even more.
Oilers are really no good!! In all their rebuilding, they haven't two 2 of the top 3 needs for a team - Center and Defence. Highly questionable if they even addressed their third - goaltending.
In light of that, I wouldn't put it past them to rank Draisaitl high. They need a big presence up front, and and they need a better center than Gagner. Draisaitl helps address two holes in one swoop.
