People are letting the mantra of "this isn't as good a draft" get in their heads WAY too much and are being completely unfair in their judgement of guys like Reinhart and Ekblad. They're both terrific prospects who would be high picks in any draft year. It's unfortunate for them that they'll forever be sandwiched inbetween "the next Crosby" Nathan MacKinnon and "also the next Crosby" Connor McDavid, and that's largely what makes people get down on these guys... just because he doesn't project to be a superstar like McDavid doesn't make Reinhart a 2C. They'd both be huge improvements to what Buffalo has and the Sabres would be incredibly lucky to get either.
I've been on his bandwagon for a while now, but I really love Dal Colle's game. My 3-5 would be DC, Draisaitl and Nylander.
If by chance the Sabres don't finish with pick 1 or 2 in 2014 draft.....who would be your choices for picks 3-5 in 1st round for the Sabres. Draisaitl will probably be the clear cut favorite at pick 3, but after that, is there a consensus pick?
