You may be right but there will be pressure on McTavish to do something different. Picking another forward of the same ilk as eberle, RNH, Perron, yakupov, gagne, and hall is not really any different than previous years at the draft. That pressure could be enough to make him target the big German so that for once the oilers will have size in their top six group.
