I would probably go with Draisaitl, simply because I agree with others here that when you have a tie between players, you take the centre.
My ideal situation is to walk away from the draft with a
Reinhart/Monahan, or
Bennett/Monahan one-two punch down the middle. If both are gone by #4, a
Draisaitl/Monahan combo is nothing to scoff at.
However I wouldn't be disappointed with Dal Colle either due to how many scouts and professionals seem to rave about his scoring ability and how good he could potentially become in the NHL. He has previously played centre as well, but I don't know enough about him to know if that's a possibility for him in the NHL.
Honestly, even Ritchie sounds like a unique and nearly impossible type of player to find nowadays. Getzlaf, Lucic, and Jamie Benn are kind of the last high scoring powerforwards in the NHL right now, and they can certainly take over and dominate a game when they're going.
