I think it's like someone said in one of the previous threads, if the Flames had only one first rounder this year, and it was either Poirier or Klimchuk, he would have likely been top five in this ranking.
I think Poirier and Klimchuk get overlooked at this point because they were the second and third players chosen this year. So, even though they're still first rounders, they get ranked behind Monahan.
In a similar vein, fans have likely had higher expectations for Reinhart since he was drafted just because he was the Flames' first pick in 2010, even though he was a third rounder.
