Well, I wouldn't find it too surprising if he was made available and teams passed depending on what the ask was. But in this case, an offer consisting of a well-regarded 1st round goalie prospect (to a team in need of one) plus another 1st round pick in exchange for the #5 pick that turns into Reinbacher seems to be putting a lot of stock into Reinbacher. Could turn out to be the right move. Could also turn out to be a colossal blunder, hence my comment.
