What's really interesting is if Edmonton manages to beat the Canucks on Saturday and Florida lose to Colombus (I assume that happens), then Ekblad should be taken at 2 by FLA. If Ekblad isn't there when EDM draft then they probably choose Draisaitl, meaning we have a chance at Bennett.
Scoring him at 4 would be ridiculously awesome. I think a player like him ensures our centre spots are sorted early into a rebuild.
Bennett/Monahan 1st/2nd line centres
Other lines Backlund, Jankowski, Arnold, Bouma, Colby(prefer wing) etc.
I think it would be pretty humorous if we went from being a team with some of the worst centre depth over the last 10 or so years to something so much better, so quickly.
Can dream.
