Not to sure of people after these guys.

I'm just going off of highlights and some research for the comparisons for who they remind me of. Anyone have any other ideas for these guys?

I agree somewhat. Ekblad reminds me of Weber though, right-handed shot, can shoot, and steady two-way dman. And if Ehlers plays like Kane your saying, then i wont mind taking him at 6. Apparently shinkaruk is like Kane too though

Perlini-Saad or JVR-Big body with solid speed and scoring ability. Creates space and scoring chances for his teammates.

Ritchie-Jamie Benn or a more physical Chris Stewart- Great shot (similar to Benn's), doesn't rely on his size as much as Lucic but can still lay some hard hits. Fast for his size as well. Has a mean streak and can throw em quite well.

Virtanen- Kane or Okposo- Solid North/south power game, great speed, Solid shot, and can drive to the net well

Draisatl- Malkin/Vanek- Average speed, very skilled, great hockey sense, big bodied, but not overly physical.

That's all I got

Sam Reinhart - David Krejci

Sam Bennett - Mike Richards/Matt Duchene hybrid

Micheal Dal Colle - Bobby Ryan/Jason Spezza hybrid (maybe another comparable would be Vanek)

Leon Draisaitl - Anze Kopitar

Nick Ritchie - Jamie Benn

Nikolaj Ehlers - P.Kane/Marian Gaborik hybrid

William Nylander - Claude Giroux/Ales Hemsky type (he will probably fall somewhere inbetween)

Kasperi Kapanen - Patrick Sharp

Jake Virtanen - Ryan Kesler without the defensive game
