After talent, size and speed are the two most important things. In this case, both talent and size are not a factor (MDC is taller than Draisaitl and they are close talent wise (I think MDC has the edge there too)), speed is the determiner for me and MDC is a burner compared to Draisaitl.
Add in the only advantage that Draisaitl has is he's a center and that might go away as well, yeah go with MDC.

What do you consider "talent"? I've always thought that skating ability (including speed) was under the talent umbrella.
Either way, things like hockey intelligence can go a long way to overcome slowrt footspeed. Conversely, a burner that's dumb isn't much good (eg. Fata). Although, at 4th overall you'd like to see a guy that has both speed and IQ.
