They have pretty much made their pick priorities known to the world. Ekblad Draisaitl. Oilers easily the highest on Draisaitl right now.
They may consider Bennett/Reinhart if one of them is available, but they already have enough small-medium skill players as it is. Oilers have a big need of size down the middle.
1.) Draisaitl said he'd like to play for Edmonton (can't imagine Ekblad was as enthusiastic)
2.) He's big and NHL-sized already who can drive the offense on the play. (Ironically doesn't play as big as he should)
3.) The whole "Gretzky" nickname thingy
