Nylander and Ehlers would definitely help the team but that's easy with hindsight. If anything is a bigger disappointment its that one of Reinhart or Draisaitl didn't fall to us.
Looking at these draft rankings only 1/12 of them had him at #4.

I was probably the biggest booster of Ehlers on CP going into that draft and even I wouldn’t have taken him when Bennett was surprisingly available at our pick.
