He'll probably be a quality NHLer. But I don't see him becoming the #1 centre some are making him out to be. And I don't see him as a leader either. I see him like his dad was - skilled, smart; wilts when things get rough.
Folks are underrating Dal Colle just because he's a winger. Great speed, size, hands, shot. I think he projects better as an NHLer.

Why would you think this?
Krejci only has average size and speed (actually smaller than Reinhart). He relies on his smarts. Does he wilt in the playoffs? 73 points in 84 games says otherwise.
And since when are we basing our draft decision on what the fathers of these kids did? Who cares?
Sam Reinhart is the top forward in this draft. He's a natural centre, Dal Colle has played LW for the last 2 seasons. Reinhart is also far and away the better defensive player.
