Not a bad comparison at all.. I think if we got him at 2 if Reinhart was gone though he'd probably stay in the OHL another year. He needs another year I think. If he goes 1st though by us or another team then I don't know.. I cant remember a time when a 1st overall pick didn't play in the NHL right away

Yeah so that backs my point up. Will be really interesting to see what happens. All starts next month with the lottery to know where were picking. Even if we get 1st not entirely 100% we draft Reinhart.

My predictions right now if we draft 1st

Reinhart 50%
Bennett 30%
Ekblad 20%

More like I'd like to make it to see 40.

As I said, some weeks go better than others.

The only reason I have any interest in watching any part of tonight's game is to see how Lieuwen does.

when do they play?

I know this is just a few peoples opinions but I did like what I heard from the Bennett comments. At least as a consolation prize for Reinhart.

All the kid does is score goals ! I like him more then Reinhart because the OHL is the strongest of the three leagues and his point production and his speed jumps off the charts. Played with McDavid with the Toronto Marlies (AAA) as well and that would be pretty neat if fate saw them reunite on the Sabres. Scouts rave about his work ethic and his grittiness as well so he could fit in well with Nolan's style of play

9. They're in Calgary so it's later.

My issue with Bennett over Reinhart is we need a top center and Bennett is projected to end up on the wing.

You don't build your team around wingers or goalies.
