This year's draft reminds me quite a bit of the 11' draft if I was to do a rough comparison. There are some good players but the talent kind of drops off after about the 8-10 mark. Next year you have McDavid and he is the best prospect since Crosby but after him it's not much better if at all than the 2014 draft.
The only two #1's I'd take Reinhart over in the past 4 drafts are RNH and Yakupov and only because Reinhart is bigger phyiscally than RNH, talent wise they are comparable, and Reinhart is not a headcase like Yak seems to be.
This draft is better than the 2012 draft, but that's not surprising as that was the worst draft since the Brendl draft.

Not disagreeing, but the same scout in Brian Costello's editorial says, "I guarantee the 2015 draft class will be as good or better than 2003."
