Well to be honest, I kinda did see Barkov going high and seth sliding, because they had Gudbranson (Cancelled Seth), Huberdeau (Cancelled Drouin) , Tbay made sense as well, as they had hedmen, but I even thought they would take Lindholm or Nichuskin, I felt it was pretty wide open the top 5 of last years draft, like this years.
I was very surprised we took Horvat over Valeri and Wennberg to be honest, I am happy with the pick now and have made peace with it.
But you are right, there is always a chance anyone can slip! I was very shocked how low Mantha and Shinkaruk slid though! NHL drafts are crazy, Hickey going top 5,,, Dano being a first rounder etc etc so you are right, you never do know!
But with Reinharts year name and playoff performance it is hard to imagine him slipping too far.
And fair enough hadnt seen your kesler trade posts, still find it hard to imagine unless his talk with linden goes badly.
