That would be a mistake, Bennett is the best forward on the board.

I like Bennett as well.

Re: 2014 draft projected Top 10

I'd be happy with either Reinhart or Draisaitl.

So they could get Reinhart, Bennett, or Draisaitl AND, perhaps, Ehlers who the NHL has ranked at #22:

Do the Sabres need 2 more left wing prospects?

not necessarily. reinhart may have the best ceiling of all the forwards in the draft. a skilled, smart, two way center who will pile up points. bennett seems less skilled, but more hyper competitive. a high energy skilled player who can also put up points and play both ends. the difference, to me, is what you want more. bennett seems willing to muck it up and get those ugly goals. reinhart seems to be one of the smart players who uses his intelligence to get those goals and assists. both are valuable. question is, what one is more valuable.

I agree with u.
Reinhart as of today would be the pick

If Reinhart is like Joe Thornton. Sign me up.

i keep coming back to reinhart as a better cody hodgson. with defensive skills. i dont know why, but thats what i see.

Re: 2014 draft projected Top 10

If he's Thornton, then take him.
If he's Ryan Callahan, then I hesitate.

Ehlers who the NHL has ranked at #22:

I wonder when NHL.com did those rankings because Ehlers at #22 is way too low the last month he has shot up most draft rankings I wouldn't have him any lower than #6

Re: 2014 draft projected Top 10

Since we are comparing Reinhart to current NHLers mine is a Patrice Bergeron with more offensive upside
