I think the Oilers want a big centre (Draisaitl) and the big four is so close that they can pick for need and they can believe Draisaitl is the BPA and I wouldn't be surprised. Didn't they want Monahan last year? SO this is their chance to draft a big centre.
For the Flames I'd love Reinhart, Bennett, Draisaitl or Ekblad. Reinhart dominates often. Bennett is unlike Monahan and to have that 1-2 punch with Bennett and Monahan at centre it'd be amazing especially because they're both such complete players. Draisaitl is such a great passer and great Ice Q plus there's his size. Ekblad is the best player in his class. 6'4 right handed defenceman and looked great at the WJ and with Barrie. I'm excited no matter who we pick in that 4. Just don't want Ritchie or Nylander or Ehlers or Dal Colle. Wouldn't be devastated with Virtanen.
