TSN mentioned that Reinhart is a future Lady-Byng finalist, having only 2 minutes in penalties in the WHL this year, and 0 in the tournament. That certainly doesn't scream truculence but as Burke says, he won't bypass skill.
I don't follow juniors so the first time I've watched Reinhart and Ekblad play has been in this tournament. If they are the consensus top two players, it seems like a weak draft this year. I'm sure they both will help their respective NHL teams but neither seem like impact players at this point and certainly will need time to develop.
