I was lukewarm on Draisaitl before the draft and his play in the NHL hasn't done anything to change that so I would pass on him as I don't know if he's any better than other centers in the system. I believe the Oilers are going to regret picking him over Bennett. Nurse, Hall, RNH after that nobody. Yakupov is a more talented Blake Comeau. He's always doing a lot of skating and things but not much gets done because his hockey IQ is way below average. Fayne would be okay in the bottom pairing. I know a lot of hockey media have fawned over the Oilers talent but really it's not that great at all considering how high they have been picking over the last decade.
