I want Draisaitl to be great, and I think he's probably going to be who we pick, so I'm not rooting against him. Just some concerns in a weak draft.

In the end, whomever this teams scouting staff feels has the highest upside that's who we should pick. If we are suddenly picking a lesser player because we feel the chances of that guy busting are smaller we are in trouble. Developement is as important as drafting, and a prospect that needs work shouldn't be enough to scare away a franchise whose goal is to win the cup. We can't be afraid of failure.
