Who do you want in the draft assuming Ekblad goes before #3? I think Reinhart would be a great fit, although it's tough to imagine he'll get past Buffalo. He has an extremely polished overall game for his age and looks nearly bust-proof. Maybe bringing him along in a third line role to start him off (provided they can trade for that #2 center) could do wonders for the Oilers in the future with RNH/Reinhart as a 1-2 punch (RNH getting the favourable offensive role, Reinhart with the more complete game as a 1A/1B situation).
I'd strongly consider trying to trade up to a top 2 spot if possible. While there's a clear top 5 (Ekblad, Reinhart, Draisaitl, Bennett and Dal Colle), I only see those top 2 guys as being true franchise players and perfect fits for Edmonton.
