Which prospect has grown on you?

Draisaitl. He is this years version of Alexsander Barkov, I'd say about equal to this draft class as Barkov was in his draft class. Kid is going to be a good one. If by some small miracle he gets to the Flames, they better run up, smile and call his name and walk away with a smug look on their face that says " Good luck containing Monahan AND Draisaitl Mofo's!!"

Thought Ritchie was an overweight pylon (at first) then started to hear interviews, read reports, and watch clips..

He's the obvious choice for who's grown on me. I think if we choose him we'll grow to love this kid!

All of them. The fact that each of the top five/six have supporters here makes me less concerned about who they pick.

If I had to pick one i'd say Draisaitl just cause I knew next to nothing about him before but assumed he would be #4

I picked Draisaitl. He's still my 4th choice but he's closed the gap between him and the top three.

Yeah me too, I thought Ritchie got better in the last half because Peterborough got a really good center for him, turns out Garlent isn't all that special and reports of him "owning" Ekblad have me more enthused.

Still not changing my mind on Bennett but it's getting hard to pick between Draisaitl,Reinhart or Ritchie.

One more week of internal confusion I guess.

I picked Draisaitl, but it was really a toss up between him and Ritchie.

A few months ago I wouldn't have wanted Draisaitl. Now, I'd be happy to take him. Nick Ritchie I felt was just a big power forward who would slow and pick up garbage goals. Not so. He's easily one of the most skilled big guys to come through the draft in the last ten years.
