I have a strong personal preference and like the fit of the other 3 prospects more. I can't really justify it either other than I have a strong preference to Canadians and hope the speedy/gritty Bennett, strong 2way/high iq Reinhart, or the big Dman Ekblad are flames property over the big pick protecting Drasaitl.
To me it seems like he has a few more question marks about him but also has perhaps the highest ceiling. I for one fully admit I don't watch junior hockey but have read up a lot on the top 4 which has furthered my views that the Sam's/Ekblad are the top of the class
