One of Dal Colle or Ehlers should be expected to go at 5. Isles could use one more winger and the #5 slots them in the PERFECT spot to pick one up. Unless they trade the pick, which I doubt happens. No one will give up what Snow is asking for in return.
I could see the Panthers picking Reinhart over Ekblad, and then they trade assets for help on D. That's a team that, while bad, needs to kick the tires and improve their roster now. Having Barkov-Bjugstad-Reinhart down the middle will almost certainly lead the Panthers to the playoffs in the near future.
