Scouting report

When you're a potential top five NHL pick playing in a town of less than 40,000 people, it's safe to say you're probably a local revelation. With no shortage of hype, Draisaitl is living up to that and then some as the 18-year-old WHL sophomore is looking to solidify his spot in the top five. With pro size, Draisaitl plays brings a consistently high compete level and has excellent hands and offensive talent. More of a playmaker than a scorer, Draisaitl has shown that he can be an offensive catalyst night in, night out, and should wind up having a good opportunity to make the jump to the NHL next year.
