All this talk about Reinhart being an elite 2C or a 1RW, or a 2/3 RW misses the fact that Murray picked him over Draisaitl.  
 

At 2OA Reinhart was supposed to be a first line player and an impact player.  He just had his best 2 goal scoring seasons while on a contending team and he is still not cracking the first line.  

People should really go look at the history of #2 overall picks. Reinhart fits right in

#2 overalls from 00-20

Dany Heatley*

Jason Spezza

Kari Lehtonen

Eric Staal*

Evgeni Malkin*

Bobby Ryan

Jordan Staal

James Van Riemsdyk

Drew Doughty*

Victor Hedman*

Tyler Seguin

Gabriel Landeskog

Ryan Murray

Aleksander Barkov

Sam Reinhart

Jack Eichel 

Patrik Laine

Nolan Patrick

Andrei Svechnikov

Kaapo Kakko 

Quinton Byfield

...I’d say the 5 guys with a * are something truly special whereas the rest are varying levels of good with which Reino fits right in on a reasonable spectrum

Yes he does.  It just a shame they missed on Draisaitl.  There was talk we could draft either Reinhart, or Eckblad, or Draisaitl - they were all close.   I think Murray wanted Reinhart, even at 1OA.

I think Bennett was in play too

I still find it wild that Reinhart, Ekblad and Bennett are on the same team.
