I should've included Ratmann as a honorable mention, I like him as well.
My thought on why Reichel is so highly rated by some, is because of how NHL scouts usually like there players. With Eder last year he was good all around, and NHL teams usually look for a single amazing skill in a category (like shooting). That's why I believe he got snubbed. Reichel happens to posses excellent passing, and good size. I think that he is looked at as a project that could turn into something special.
I liked Gawanke a lot in the DNL finals with Berlin, he looked fantastic. I don't know how well he will adapt to the N.A game. I have no doubt that if he develops that he can be real special player.
Beck was real shot in the dark, but I do think he has a better chance of being drafted in this years draft then Ratmann.
Looks to be a fun year for Germans, I think all of these players on the list have a chance at the Draft. Hopefully they preform well, with there respective teams. Gawanke and Schiemenz will be in action tonight as the CHL season starts.
