The Isles managed to replenish their forward pipeline while flipping Reinhart to the NHL franchise that values him most.
Griffin Reinhart was part of the New York Islanders' infamous "none more defensemen" draft of 2012, known not just because they used all seven picks on defensemen, but also because one (albeit conflicting) report alleged they offered their entire slate of picks for the opportunity to pick Ryan Murray.
That deal, in whatever form it was proposed, never happened. But their interest in Murray -- a clear high-end prospect -- combined with them going seven deep with defensemen picks showed the Islanders were trying to rebalance their system.
