I am so ecstatic I'm grinning ear to ear. We actually got the guy we all wanted and he is the best forward in the draft easily and has been the #1 forward in this draft class for the last 2 years +. 2 seasons well over a ppg and a damn near ppg season 3 years ago as a 16 year old. I think we can project him as a top line franchise center though hopefully he plays on the 2nd line for us in the future because we have a McDavid or Eichel ahead of him
I hope he is with the Sabres for the whole year and due to him earning a spot because he was one of the 12 best forwards on the roster and not because he was gifted a spot like Grigorenko was. I think he is ready and will be in the NHL this year because he is already 18 and is a 95 not 96 and turns 19 just a month after the season starts exactly like Monahan and Lindholm last year where they were a year ahead of the rest of the draft class and turned 19 before the start of the new year. And I think Reinhart is easily a better player/prospect with a much better pedigree then Lindholm and Monahan were (as he should as he was a #2 pick and the first forward and the other 2 were 5th and 6th picks)
