They aren't more important, but they are just as important. Also the stats of the past decade or so show that it is more likely for a top 5 defenseman not to reach his projected potential then it is a center. Either would be a huge pickup for this team, but Ekblad should be noticably better then Reinhart if we're going to pick him with both on the table.
