Hockey Prospectus Ranks Isles' Prospects and U23s

Reinhart is rated 6th -- which is either a testament to the strength of the system, the weakness of the draft crop or the way the team chose to use it's #1 pick. I actually think it's a bit of each -- given the organizational strength and the draft's talent level, the team felt like the had the luxury of picking based on organizational need rather than taking best player available (e.g., Grigs or Forsberg). Anyway, a very interesting read.
