It's totally a toss up for me. I'd be fine with either guy really. We need size on the wing and Dal Colle looks like a pure sniper with size but he doesn't play the power game that I covet. Draisaitl could make a great 1-2 punch with Monahan. Wouldn't surprise me if the Burke comments were true and that out of the top guys Draisaitl isn't his favourite. Interesting to see if Treliving and Burke share the same thoughts there.
Frankly I highly doubt Draisaitl will be there at #4. It's looking to me like he will go 1st, 2nd or 3rd. I think it's more likely Reinhart is available there and I'm starting to think there's a chance Ekblad could fall to us too. Extremely tough to handicap this draft. Right now Bennett and Draisaitl seem the most coveted players from the quotes I've seen from scouts. Florida potentially wanting Ehlers/Nylander and dropping down to do so could throw a wrench in the whole thing and make it almost impossible to predict ahead of time.
