Draisaitl would be the bottom six box being checked off, and I would think the way he brought Ritchie up he also checked that one off.
It was a tad odd though that Dal Colle wasn't brought up. maybe he's the one Burkes not too high on. Fun thing is, we won't know until after the draft.
But I do agree with others, from that you can certainly make a safe assumption that if the Flames picked first, Aaron "The Beardy Man" Ekblad would be the guy he would take. And that makes me very happy.

Draisaitl is not a guy who checks the boxes for a bottom 6 player...not sure why you'd take what Burke said that way. Draisaitl has high end talent, a high level skillset.
