I am pretty much sold on the top 4 and fully expect the flames to pick someone in that group

It's like the start of the original Pokemon games.

"so, which one to choose. Well, Bennett will work better against plants, but has a weakness against water.. Reinhart works better against water but has a weakness against fire.. so that means Draisaitl has a weakness against plants but an advantage over fire! Wait, sh*t- which one defeats rock?!"

So...

Bennett = Leafs killer
Reinhart = Sharks killer
Draisaitl = Flames killer

Oh God, I hope Draisaitl doesn't go to the Oilers.

Ľa, I really hope Edmonton drafts Bennett and keep with tiny centres and pass on a Joe Thornton/Anze Kopitar hybrid

So an update on the crucial pullup thing, Bennett can do two of them now. Just in case you're still worried about it.

Two pullups? He wouldn't even get a "Participaction!" sticker in the Flexed Arm Hang. The true test of a boy's mettle.

The flames are consistently mentioning Ritchie and talk about him as one of the consensus top five (which no one else is doing ). Very high probability they take him

I think it's just bait for a team a few picks down to know the doors open if they over pay for it..

Does anyone think there's a chance the Oilers could take Ritchie? MacTavish keeps talking about how they need Lucic, and Ritchie is probably the closest thing they'll ever get.

Anything is possible with Edmonton.... And that could be very likely. However, I think they'll actually make a smart move and get Draisaitl, only because they are in search of that #2 center.

I really hope not, Ritchie would be a great addition to that team.

I'd rather them take Ritchie than Draisaitl.

ya it is sort of weird how much we are hearing them talk about the top tier, and also mentioning ritchie, now on a few occassions.

feels like a bit of smoke screening. my opinion only, but there is no way they draft in the top 4 and pick ritchie.

I kind of want Leon Draisaitl now.

Monahan 6'2.5"
Draisaitl 6'2"

One heart and soul guy, one skilled guy, both big, both young.

I want Reinhart first, and if not Draisaitl.

Pretty much any of the top 4 will suffice.

I am starting to think Bennett falls into our hands.

But the idea of getting Draisaitl is growing on me.

I am convinced that if Draisatl is the only one of the top 4 available to us - we take Ritchie.
