Not sure if anyone read this, but it really makes me wish the Flames select Sam Reinhart if they get the chance to do so:

"He has a complete game at both ends of the ice," NHL Central Scouting's Peter Sullivan told NHL.com. "He does everything well. He won't get you overly excited, but from a coaching perspective he's the guy you always want on the ice in critical situations. He's your go-to guy and team leader and is just going to be consistent at the junior level and, eventually, the pro level."

Sounds a heck of a lot like the type of players Calgary is keen on acquiring - having him and Monahan in the top 2 center positions, with Backlund in the 3rd would just be almost perfect. 3 guys that really drive possession, have high hockey IQ, and great at both ends of the rink (though Backlund needs to show a bit more offensively, he really drives possession). Sounds so much like Monahan.
