If any one of Ekblad, Reinhart or Bennett fall to 4th, then it is an absolute no-brainer to take them.
If not, if it comes down to Draisaitl, Dal Colle or Ritchie, I will leave it up to the scouts as to which one they like.
These are 18 year old kids. It isn't an exact science. Ritchie has all kinds of NHL potential. If they decide to draft him, they will then have to harness that potential. There are lots of NHL stars that had the 'inconsistent' label in junior.
The way some fans get these absolute ideas in their heads is crazy sometimes. A is absolutely better than B, who is absolutely better than C.
Show me one draft in history - one - where the players turned out to be as good as their draft order suggested.

The funny thing is most people have not seen most of these prospects play besides their highlight package.
I'm not gonna lie, I saw bunch of Ehlers highlights and had a hockey crush on him. I bet if I watched bunch of other players I'll like them as well, too bad we can't have them all.
