I took it as they had him ahead of Ekblad but you could be right as he was the one player in the big 4 that year who would never have dropped to 4th overall.
I won’t lie I remember that draft well and got pretty hammered with a couple of buddies and we cheered so loud when the Oil took Draisaitl because that meant Bennett was ours.
