Ekblad - Will be taken by either Florida/Buffalo (we won't get our hands on him).
S. Reinhart - Possible that he gets dropped to 4th, but I just don't see that happening. He will be picked in the top 2 as well.
Draisaitl - In a way I think he's a wildcard, and I wouldn't be surprised if Edmonton is stupid enough to pick him over Bennett because of his size. 2nd top player in tier 2
My order of preference:
1. Reinhart/Bennett - Assuming Reinhart is gone, I want the other Sam for sure. Looks like a promising player, and if Bennett getting suspended gets him drafted to us, thank you for Sam B.
2. Dal Colle - Just looks like the BPA right after Sam. I agree with many other people, saying that after the top 3, the others are in tier 2. Dal Colle is the top player in tier 2.
3. Ritchie - Honestly think this would be a pretty decent pick if we picked this kid. Has great size and uses it to his advantage. I agree that he is a risk at #4, but he is like the 3rd top player in tier 2.
