Are any of the top 5 teams desperate enough for a defenseman that Fleury could sneak in if Ekblad is taken?
Would it be seen as a disaster if we took Nylander or Ritchie at #4?

Florida definitely needs a defenseman, I don't see them not drafting Ekblad. Edmonton could use a defenseman as well, but they aren't dumb enough to draft Fleury over Bennett/Draisaitl
For the Flames, I don't want us drafting outside the top 5. Wouldn't be the end of the world if we drafted Nylander/Ritchie/Ehlers, but I think most of us can agree that Reinhart/Bennett/Draisaitl/Dal Colle have more upside.
