It's really about managing risk. Ekblad could yes be the next Shea Weber but his odds of hitting his ceiling are propbably 20%. Reinhart meanwhile looks like he has about 50% odds of being an 80 point player. You can roll the dice on this stuff but I'd prefer to play the odds. Those odds though are really developed by teams in discussion with their professional scouts. If Todd Button really thinks Ekblad is the real deal then I'll defer to his opinion.
