If Reinhart fell to us, we end up with the best playmaker who is just coming off a beast of a playoff run and would make for another great option with Monahan for #1C down the road.
If Bennett fell to us, we get the #1 ranked player by most reports, who has the most to grow into physically yet was still dominant.
If Draisaitl fell to us, we get the large top 6 centreman who again fills an important need in the organization, solidifying our 1-2-3 (with Backlund) punch down the middle.
Can't friggin wait!

This is pretty much it in a nutshell.
Last year I wanted Lindholm, but would have been fine with Monahan. This year, I want Reinhart the most, but any of those players is a huge piece for us.
I'm totally exhausted regarding this draft ... I just can't wait until next week. To think, we're going to go through this all again next year.
