At this point for me, unless one of the Sams or Ekblad is on the board, then sure, you go with them.

After that for me it's a toss up of MDC and Ehlers with Ehlers rising.

MDC has almost as good a shot/passing ability as Ehlers (Difference is marginal) and is bigger, but is only above average speed wise, not fast. Ehlers is a blazer though.

The two things that matter most if most other things are almost equivalent and they are speed and size. The two players each have a 1 up on the other. It's tough especially when neither of the other player's "weakness" is off putting (Ehlers isn't tiny and MDC isn't slow).

If I was picking and my options were limited to only Draisaitl, Ehlers, and MDC as of right now, I would take Ehlers. I think his speed is too much of an asset and speed can make a difference in the playoffs (his size isn't an issue because it's average)
