The pessimist in me has the following concerns about the "top 2" in this years draft:
1) Sam Reinhart reminds me a little too much of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, skilled but a little too soft/passive.
2) Aaron Ekblad might not have much room left to grow, and if he's close to "maxed out" now, he won't excel against NHLers the way you would hope a top pick would.
Granted, I'm no scout and have had very limited viewings of both players.
