Well, I suppose you could try to read the thread. I'm sure there'll be some answers to your question in there.

And since when has Reinhart fell so far in any draft rankings list not to be taken #2? Only because Bennett took over the #1 spot at the end of the season on Central Scoutings list?

Fact is for me, I feel Buffalo has enough grit and energy in their center depth and not enough elite playmaking skill in their prospect pool. Reinhart fills that need for them.

Seems to me that more than a few posters think the other way because the Flames have Samson's brother and are projecting their views more to fit their own desire to get Samson.

Bottom line is none of us know in any amount of certainty how the top four picks will pan out until they are in fact made on draft day.

EDIT: What is interesting though is the Reinhart fans are actually trying to argue the results of the poll by refuting it with the same wishful thinking comments they themselves are victims of. Again, draft day will tell all.
