Yeah, I don't see a real Nichushkin type wild card type of player in this years draft. The top four are the top four. the other tier of kids are lower.
At the end of the day, if the Flames end up with Draisaitl, they'll have two very skilled big bodied centers to build around for many years to come. Monahan/Draisaitl = Toews/Kopitar? Yeah that'll do in a pinch.
And thats not even accounting for the possibility a Sam falls to the Flames. It's too good to be true almost.
