It's an interesting situation for Edmonton:

If they pick Bennett, they will have 2 smaller Cs in RNH and Bennett, and the Flames would have Monahan and Draisaitl. I think that would be a very bad situation for Edmonton (not to mention that they also have to deal with Kopitar, Getzlaf, Thorton etc)

On the other hand, if they pick Draisaitl (which they should, IMO) they are leaving Calgary the arguably better player. Bennett and Monahan is a pretty awesome combination to think about.

No matter which way Edmonton goes, they are leaving Calgary in great shape. I would argue that either way, the Flames end up with the better C pairing because we are starting with the large-bodied, well rounded Monahan while they are starting with the small, one-dimensional RNH.

No matter which way they go, the Flames win, IMO. It's a great scenario.
It's a win-win for us. Except I feel one player is the better path for Edmonton. Drafting Draisaitl would be best for them because it at least addresses the size issue at center.

I too am fine with either center, they both benefit Calgary, so take your pick Edmonton.
