A total offensive wildcard for teams to deal with alongside our stability up the middle.

Yep, that's pretty much how I feel. Not that I wouldn't be happy with drafting him, but I kind of see Reinhart as a slightly more skilled Monahan. As good as Monahan projects to be, I'm not sure drafting another one is the best use of a high 1st.
But I guess you can't force things, and you pick from what you have... and hopefully 2015 is the year where we get our game-breaker (My heart is still set on Jack Eichel in 2015...I was more impressed with him than McDavid at the WJCs). That or for once we catch a break and Johnny Hockey exceeds even ultra-hyped expectations and becomes that game breaking skilled player.
