Perhaps. I just would prefer a guy that wants to run through a wall for his team and plays with intensity over a more dormant style of play
- MCGUIZZY

The thing is that we already have those kind of players. Its easier to find a girgensons or someone with more drive and tenacity than it is to find a Reinhart who can just dissect the game and make incredible plays look easy.

Base on what?

They both have 19 points this year. You always take the Center over the winger, always

Bennett was a center....

Except the majority of the projections for him were that he'd end up a winger at the NHL level. That was part of why I always leaned toward Reinhart. I wouldn't necessarily do things differently, but if I knew then what I know now, my opinion of one over the other may not have been so strong.

Me too, but with getting O'Reilly, I think I'd rather have the speed and dynamic skill of Bennett.

I mean do we? Girgensons i guess could be considered that type but i think a team will always be happy to add another player like that. Its fine though im not un-happy with reinhart

I was at his first home game with his new Frontenacs team on Friday (against the Gens) and watched him get 5 points. He'll be fine.
- Kzak99

i said he has talent but is struggling. Talents their consistency isn't for a top 5 pick

Hawks (for one example) would disagree with you.

Kane, JVR, then Turris. I dont think you take Turris over those guys bc hes a C. that draft, the Wingers were clear cut top prospects

If he turns into a Patrice Begeron or even a David Krejci type, I think the team will be in good shape, especially with Eichel, O'Reilly, and others.
