I have seen it written that both Draisaitl & Dal Colle shy away from physical contact at times. Neither of them are particularly adept at backchecking, and neither of them are particularly fleet of foot. I actually think that they're similar prospects on paper, with Draisaitl more in the playmaker mold & Dal Colle the sniper.
While Draisaitl is already pretty much filled-out, Dal Colle is still very skinny. I think there is a presumption there that he'll be a power forward once he's matured & filled out. That presumption often ends in disappointment.
I really hope one of the other 3 (Ekblad, Bennett or Reinhart) drops to us because the difference between these 2 prospects is frustratingly minimal. I can't make a definitive choice & have yet to vote.
