I really think the Oilers are targeting Draisaitl with their pick. They have Nurse, Klefbom, Schultz, Marcinnin whom they are all high on. They do not have a big body centre and they are looking to get bigger up front. If they do draft him that means one of Ekblad Reinhart or Bennett will be available to Calgary.
Reinhart seems like a really smart player and is known for his 2 way play. He would fit really nicely as a top 6 centre or top 6 RW.
Bennett appears to be highly competitive and develop into a heart and soul player. Seems to fit the identity the Flames want to build as he apparently plays with an edge
Ekblad is that big 6'4 215lbs RHD this team needs to build around moving forward.
I would be really happy with any of those 3
