Can't go wrong with any:
Ekblad - Potential franchise defenseman, but can safely say he'll play top minutes with Brodie (once Gio retires). I see a Seabrook-Keith comparison combo
Reinhart - I like the Krejci comparison the most. Has good hockey IQ and can dish the puck quite nicely.
Draisaitl - Kopitar/Thornton comparison? Yes please. Can't go wrong with a big center, they tend to have the successful careers when utilizing their size correctly. Has soft hands and can shield the puck. The skating can be fixed.
Bennett - Doug Gilmour comparison just makes me want to run to the podium and select the kid. I love the grit and no quit attitude to his game.
Who do I want? It doesn't matter, because all of the prospects will benefit the Flames. They all bring something different to the table.
None of these prospects are consolation prizes, but being the 4th pick makes the decision a lot easier. Hopefully Treliving thinks the same thing.
