I like Dal Colle - he will take more time, but this team is not competing next year or the year after to be honest. Long term thinking needs to come into play, and Dal Colle projects to be an elite goal scorer IMO. I am always leery of a player who is more developed physically dominating at the CHL level - will this point total project to the NHL as well when you aren't one of the biggest fish in the pond? I am also not convinced Draisatl stays at centre, so the whole "draft a centre" debate is moot.
I would rank Ehlers and Nylander a tier below these two
