No reputable scouting service has Keller top 8

Under the assumption that 1-5 go 1-5, we are basically debating between a 5-10, a 5-11, a 6-0 winger. None of Nylander, Keller, or Jost are going to be imposing physically and are all going to be pushed around by defenders.
Unless the Flames decide to go with a D-man or Logan Brown, both of which do not make a ton of sense with what is in the organization, then it's up to a pick of which of the smallish wingers you like the best.
All three of them in terms of raw skill are pretty close. I think Keller has the highest overall skill level of the three, which is why I like him over the other two, but I would not be complaining one bit if they went with either of the other options.
If Logan Brown was more physical, he would be right up there as well, but he's about as domineering as Colborne.
It's a weird draft with so many players that are basically identical skill wise.
