What they dont have in the system is depth down the middle.
Especially with how risky it is drafting "franchise" Dmen. Don't get me wrong, Eklad is a very talented player and has shown amazing offensive development this season (in addition to his great size and defensive ability), but I think you have to go with Reinhart - or Bennett - if he's available here. You're totally spot on with guys like Marincin and Klefbom being pretty close at this point, and if they're looking to ship out Sam Gagner in the offseason, it makes perfect sense to draft Reinhart.
