Ehlers or Ekblad at #6?
Out draft recently began, and I'm torn at #6.
The top 5 went,
Reinhart
Bennett
Dal Colle
Draisaitl (my pick)
Nylander (my pick)
And now I have a 3rd pick in a row. I don't want to hold up the draft any longer, but am torn between the two.
G A PIM +/- PPP SOG are the offensive categories.
We start 6 D
My defenseman are,
Shattenkirk
Leddy
Seth Jones
Justin Schultz
Roman Josi
Sami Vatanen
Tori Krug
with
Pullock
Morrissey
Gormley
in the minors.
I hate taking Defense so early. Do I take Ekblad or Ehlers here??

Re: Ehlers or Ekblad at #6?
Take Eckblad. You picked up two nice Fs already. Ehlers should still spend a couple of years in the minors, and Eckblad is NHL ready now.

Re: Ehlers or Ekblad at #6?
Agree with SoG as youve drafted two nice forwards already and many had Ekblad at #1 so to get a D of that quality at 6 could pan out nicely with the rest of your D.

I'd go with Ekblad in this case.

Re: Ehlers or Ekblad at #6?
I would take Ehlers, but I don't think you can go wrong here since you've already drafted Draisaitl and Nylander.

Re: Ehlers or Ekblad at #6?
Collect as many offensive scoring assets as you can and then as needed you have a surplus to trade away for defense upgrades. Take Ehlers. I'm a firm believer in waiting on defense to develop and not take them early in drafts.

Re: Ehlers or Ekblad at #6?
Last one to add to the mix.. and I see the board is just as split as me right now.. Does Kapanen rank above either of the 2? Being I such a good situation in Pittsburgh.
