The second 2017 draft pick to make our top 25 list came at a bit of a cost. San Jose traded their fourth round (123rd overall) and sixth round (174th overall) picks to the New York Rangers in exchange for a fourth round (102nd overall) pick in order to draft Scott Reedy. At 102, it’s surprising that Reedy hadn’t already been picked - draft projections had him between 40th and 77th. It’s likely he would have been taken before the Sharks’ 123rd pick.
It’d be difficult to make a case that Reedy wasn’t worth it. A Prior Lake, Minnesota native, Reedy grew up around hockey.
