The reason Draisaitl is ranked so high is mainly because he used his size to protect the puck making him a great puck possession player. This is something the oilers desperately need I. Their system. More so than a little more grit and sandpaper.
But that's my take on this whole thing.
I chose Draisaitl strictly for that purpose for the Oilers. They can't hold o to the puck. They need him more than Bennett.
But I cannot gurantee that anymore than anyone else guaranteeing that is Bennet is still on the board at the Oilers pick that it wouldn't even be a question about them taking him.
We will see. I want Bennett but if the oil take him and the Flames are left with Draisaitl, I'm not going to be disappointed in the least.
