I think after seeing Draisaitl struggle mightily in the NHL this season I feel the Oilers would have likely picked Bennett if they had a do-over as they picked Draisaitl because he was more physically mature and they thought he could step in immediately as surely even they should have known Bennett was the better overall prospect. In regards to Buffalo it's really hard to say as I get the feeling they were set on Reinhart and really seeing how this season is gone with Bennett not playing much and Reinhart looking good in the WJC that they likely wouldn't change their pick.
