If Buffalo wins the draft lottery and the order stays how it is now: think buffalo will take Reinhart; Edmonton will take ekblad; Florida will take draisaitl; Calgary will take bennett; and islanders will take Dal Colle

I really can't see the Panthers taking Draisaitl with Bennett and Dal Colle available.
Draisaitl seems to be a very similar player to Barkov, so I think they'd be more interested in getting a sniper in Dal Colle or even Bennett and play him on the wing similar to what they did with Huberdeau.
