What if the plan to Reek for Reinhart was, actually, Lose for Leon?
Right now, Kootenay C Sam Reinhart isn't the projected #1, as noted by the Hockey News. (However, most NHL mock drafts I've seen still have Reinhart as the #1 pick overall.)
Here's briefs on the top, say, 6 players:
-Leon Draisaitl(Prince Albert/WHL): 64 games, 38+67=105 +7 (A scout quoted by them said that Draisaitl will likely be in the NHL next season, adding that he's a complete player-a playmaking center who makes everyone around him better.)
-Sam Bennett(Kingston/OHL): 57 games, 36+55=98 118 PIM (scout: "Never gets outmuscled and torques his body to win battles. May have the strongest stick in the (OHL).")
-Sam Reinhart(Kootenay/WHL): 60 games, 36+69=105 (scout: "Cerebral, smart, makes others better. Not flashy, but a solid two way player.")
-Aaron Ekblad(Barrie/OHL): A scout said "You're getting a building block for any team. He plays the game with authority and he can move the puck."
-Michael Dal Colle(Oshawa/OHL): 67 games, 39+56=95 (scout: "Great offensive instincts.")
-Wlliiam Nylander(Modo/Sweden): (scout: "Outstanding with the puck.")
So....does Buffalo go for one of these 6 or go off the board?
