lately though the more I read on Draisaitl and even Dal Colle I just don't care ... let it happen. No downside.
Yep. Most of the quotes lately are talking about a big 4 and then Dal Colle slightly behind them. But then you look at the latest ISS rankings and see them with Dal Colle at #3 ahead of Bennett and Draisaitl and it seems Dal Colle might be in some teams top 4. Dal Colle's 8 goals and 12 assists in 12 games in the playoffs looks pretty outrageous. Confusing the issue is ISS listing Dal Colle at centre and Bennett at LW assuming that wasn't just a spreadsheet typo by them (their head scout has called Dal Colle a centre as well.)

This is the first draft where I don't need to be desperately hoping that one of the guys I really like drops because there's 5 guys I really like the sounds of and we're guaranteed a choice of two. We get to just kick back and relax and see how it all falls and which direction the Flames decide to go. An elite talent should be added to the stable this June.
