I think the top 4 are pretty cut and dry with Ekblad, Reinhart, Draisaitl and Bennett, although they could definitely be all over the place in the order they go. It's actually kind of similar to last year with Mackinnon, Barkov, Drouin and Jones. No one's cracking that group, but there's a lot of debate as to where they'd all land.

Dal Colle should most likely go #5 as well, especially considering the Islanders are actively shopping that pick. I have seen him dropping in a lot of people's mock drafts for some reason, but I still think he's the BPA. There will be a massive run of wingers between 5-15 (and really, the entire first round TBH), and he's the best of the bunch, so I think the most likely scenario is that someone trades up to try to secure him at 5.

Haydn Fleury is also going to be a really hot commodity. This is such a weak draft for defensemen, so someone might want to jump up higher than they need to to get him.
