But he is still learning. His best season so far was 67 points. He was on track for more this I think (projected to 82 games).

70 pts is a lot to expect from him in Calgary next year - he should not come to a team like Calgary and be the #1 guy. He does not seem to have the maturity to carry a team like the Flames yet (no knock, few people do at 21 years).

He would do better on a team where he is the 2C for a year or two.

Like others I like the talent, but don't see the fit.

Boston rolled four lines, and had him on pp 2. In Calgary he would average 2 more minutes a game, and first pp unit. I think that alone would allow him to rack up more points.

As for saying reinhart is = to Seguin is hilarious. Seguin has 3 NHL seasons under his belt, two of which he was highly productive. Reinhart hasn't even been drafted, do you remember coutourier, Angelo Esposito both of these guys were considered sure fire #1s going into their draft years. Reinhart still as a long way to go before he can even prove he can be an NHL player let alone a star.

Look at other #1 overalls, Stefan, daigle, dipietro there isn't eve a guarantee he will be an above average NHL player if he is drafted first overall. Not to mention, to get that pick flames would have to finish dead last next year, and would need to win the lottery, thus have less then a 50% chance to get him after finishing last.

Your last paragraph is disingenuous at best. Scouting has come a long way since the days of the guys mentioned above. If you draft #1 overall, chances are good that the player becomes an above average player.
