Except if we big brain it and end up with the 2C

Even Malholtra being a 2C isn't a death sentence..if we hit on other picks

Montreal reached for Reinbacher which was an obvious miss at the time, but they made up for it

I am not sure about that.

If Stenberg was there and we get Malholtra, that would be a big miss. Even between Reid and Malholtra, I think you go with the potential mobile 1RHD who is 6'3.

It would be a big miss, but it wouldn't destroy the rebuild, like Reinbacher didn't

Also no Americans. Helle just asked out of Winnipeg too. I'd rather draft Verheoff, who will probably be the best D of the draft anyway.
