I think they might have actually taken Sam Reinhart 1st in Ekblad's draft year. They absolutely fell in love with him and his crazy playoff performance. And they had just drafted Ristolainen and Zadorov both in the first round the year before so I don't think they needed D as bad as some of the other teams drafting high that year.
