Personally, I wouldn't be disappointed at all if the Flames end up drafting Draisaitl. I think the three forwards are all pretty close. That's not to say they offer the same package of skills but in term of totality of talent you can't go wrong with any of them. May as well put Ekblad into that as well.
I'd probably take Ekblad over the three just due to the current condition of the org depth at the blueline... I believe in taking the BPA but in this circumstance I think they're all so close that you can pick the one that addresses positional scarcity.
