There are probably 29 GMs out there that see more value in scooping up Gillies and Ortio over Reinhart. Perhaps I personally underrate him but watching him up here with the club he didn't look like a guy I'd put in the company of the 1st rounders ranked just ahead of him. Don't see any top end skill, just a guy who could be a smart, tough nosed 3rd liner, but I'd never place those kinds of guys ahead of our future in goal. Do any believe he's stepped up his game to the point where his ceilling/projection can be reconsidered? From what I've seen he's a surer thing now, but nothing more than he was going to be before. Anyways, going to leave it at that.
We essentially traded Laurent Brossoit for Smid. Surely Reinhart is worth as much as a #4 D-man?

(I know Ortio stock has risen a lot and Gillies was ranked 4th last year, but we were pretty high on Brossoit at one time too)
