For once, they actually sent down a player for another year of development... But that is in defense, they think they have the greatest defensive prospect system, so they were able to send Nurse down. However, at center position, they still need that top 6 center, and Draisaitl can fit that role. RNH is small, Draisaitl is the opposite. It might take him a while to get used to top 6 minutes (since they'll just throw him in the lineup), but I think he could get used to it and put up at least 30 points for them.
