Is there something against taking Reinhart as the best player available? I think most sccouts have him at the top of their list. I know Burke wants a big, physical, minute-eating defencemen but I hope he takes the best player he can and doesn't just draft for position. I think the flames could use a Reinhart just as much as they could use an ekblad.

Reinhart and Ekblad are both elite prospects. However, the issue is that the Flames right now are stacked at center to the point of converting a bunch of centers to the wing, and definitely short on D-man prospects (Wotherspoon/Sieloff) so if Burke had to choose between the two with these circumstances, I'd put my money on Ekblad.
