First of all, Reichel could have been gone by 22 and most def be gone by 27, but also no one is going to give you anything good to go from 22 to 17. This is deep year, but still those kids have about 20% chance to become NHLs, so its not worth it the risk at this stage, you might as well draft someone good in 3rd or 4th round, so no one will give those up.
Plus, Reichel has a big potential to actually play this year, at least on a limited basis. He has great work ethics and he did play with grown man in Germany and played well against them.
How many #17 picks are ready to play? I think Hawks are truly need some ready to play guys, as Toews and Kane's time is running out. I don't know maybe we will see Reichel-Kurashev-Highmore (not bad for 4th line to start the year)
