Reinhart was way off draft rankings at that point so it was unlikely he would have been taken before our second third round pick so I still think we should have picked Kabanov. High risk High reward picks should be taken in the third round. There likely was a safer pick when we drafted Johnny Gaudreau in the fourth round and even if he busts out I don't think there will be too many complaints about that pick.
The second third round pick was Joey Leach.
Although we did quite good in picking AHL players in the late rounds which is more or less a success (or we picked low risk low ceiling guys) with 4 through 7th round picks with Ferland, Holland, Ramage, Reinhart, Leach.
