You must be wrong, I heard he was the biggest bust in his draft class...

I’ve said numerous times that I think he’ll carve out a respectable NHL career. But he’s maybe at best the 5th best forward in his draft class. If you’d like to pull up a list of the last 15 2nd overall picks how many would you take Reinahrt over ? Maybe Ryan Murray and the jury is still out on Nolan Patrick. But I would say Sam is not even in the same ball park as Barkov, Eichel, Laine, Svechnikov. And what about guys like Pasternak, Aho, W.Nylander, Draisatil, Marner and they weren’t 2nd overall picks. Those are just the guys I can think of in 20 seconds I’d take over Reinhart. Reinhart can have a long respectful career reminiscent of a Pominville. But how many people would tank for a 55-60 point winger ?
