Draisaitl would be a great selection for them if they find themselves jumping up in the standings.

This is true. However, I believe MacT was on record mentioning Ekblad's name as the 'book end to Nurse' or something along those lines. Seeing Ekblad go to any team other than Edmonton would be another treat on draft day.
Edmonton is in a good position draft wise, but at the cost of their on ice product, and their pissed off fanbase.
Any one of the bottom 5 positions can rapidly change after the Olympics. Trade deadline is coming and should throw a wrench or two into the standings. Should be fun to see the final order of the bottom 5 teams fall into place.
