Ultimately what you want is Edmonton in a position where they have to make a judgement call on who to draft. Which by all accounts could be the case for them this year.
They've proven that if you force them to have to make a decision at the top end of the draft they are highly likely to select the wrong player. With McDavid...no decision. Even with Nurse at that point it was a bit of a no brainer and they may one day like that pick a lot less. Draisatl could still work out I suppose, but theres a lot of challengers to him already.
