On a team full of players who don't know how to play defence with a coaching staff that doesn't know how to teach defence, how is Draisaitl going to become a complete player in that environment?

Edmonton can't wait for Bennett to develop in the OHL another year. Draisaitl has a better chance to hit the NHL ice than Bennett. Draisaitl also has size, and would actually compliment the top 6 (assuming they slot him behind RNH).
