2012-2013 63GP - 15G 33A 48PTS +19 (0.76 PPG)
2013-2014 32GP - 22G 32A 54PTS +6 (1.69 PPG)
Reinhart is in his 3rd Year in Junior current stats:
2012-2013 72GP - 35G 50A 85PTS +8 (1.18 PPG)
2013-2014 33GP - 16G 34A 50PTS +4 (1.52 PPG)
I expect this kid to go top 3 for sure, potentially over taking Sam Reinhart depending on how the rest of the season/playoffs go. I think the top 4 picks in this draft are extremely solid and I would be shocked if our pick isn't top 4.

Interesting points for sure, but the quality of their respective teams and linemates can not be ignored.

I would imagine other teams being able to zero-in on Reinhart on a nightly basis, and that would be a bit harder to do against Dal Colle with Laughton and Cassels there.
As well, Dal Colle has been switched to LW this season permanently. He plays with Laughton if I am not mistaken. Centers typically are worth more to a team than LW'ers.
I like Dal Colle, and I think he definitely deserves to be in the top 5, possibly even challenging for the first over-all. I just don't really see him taking over Reinhart though. If Reinhart and Ekblad are both gone, and the Flames are drafting 3rd over-all, it is either him, Draisaitl (C) or Bennett (LW). Of course, it is still early, and there could very well be additional moves as players get hot, cold, and go onto really good playoff runs (like Horvat last year jumping up in the rankings after his strong playoff drive, while Monahan not having the same opportunity as his team didn't make the post-season).
