I like the player but I'm not sure I'm moving a top 10 pick for him without a contract. Even knowing it's a bit of a weaker draft.

To some extent it depends on where your team’s at. Reinhart is a top 5-7 pick even in a redraft of 2014. So if you need 25 year old players, and not a guy that’s going to be in his prime in 4-5 years from now, maybe it’s fair. Is that Vancouver? They want some success right now in all likelihood. Guys to play in the Petterson Hughes Boeser Horvat Demko Hoglander window, with Schmidt and Myers as the old guys on the team. It might be the right move for them.
ETA: They don’t have a lot of RHS either, aside from Boeser and Virtanen. So they might want Reinhart as a RW with either Horvat or Petterson.
