very fine line that distinguishes top 4 kids

Bennett:

likes the way he can elevate his game when it matters the most, in central scouting's opinon the best at doing that
think Sam Bennett can play Toews type game
his size and frame are not a concern in their projections going forward
has same characteristics as Gilmour

Ekblad:

scouts were waiting to see his offensive side of the game develop
his shot has become much more powerful and accurate

Reinhart:

hockey iq is the best in the draft class
will take what is given to him and capatalize on it

Draisaitl:

big rugged center that can dominate
going to be a Joe Thorton type player
very strong playmaker, good puck skills, strong on the puck, hard to check

Dal Colle:

offensive forward with high end skillset, very versatile and consistent
plays with energy and focus
just lacking strength, scary part is how good he can be once he gets stronger, potential could go through the roof

Virtanen:

one of the strongest skaters
he is the hardest guy to check, can power his way through players to the net
probably going to have more goals than assists in his career
not going to be the best playmaker
has got the hockey sense to find a way to always be open like Brett Hull
he can agitate when he wants to

Scherbak:

real dynamic skater and player
quick to read and react to plays
can make something out of nothing
consumate team player
loves the game

Ehlers:

underweight
very focused player, professional approach to the game
high end speed
puck skills, anticipation and reaction time is all good
got a scoring touch can see the ice quick
will burn you if you give him the opportunity

Nylander:

been bounced around different teams
nobody is denying he has outstanding skills and is a very fast and quick skater
his puck handling and shot are up there with the best of the draft class
competes to score, not the most responsible two way player yet

Kapanen:

far more responsible player than Nylander
good speed good hockey sense
Finnish players have this grit to their game where they gut it out and Kapanen has that

2014 draft first round is pretty decent, but it isn't as deep when you get into the later rounds its going to be spread out
