Don't you find it interesting that Reinhart and Draisaitl's skating was scientifically tested and Draisaitl's skating performed better. Yet Draisaitl gets much worse criticism on his skating than Reinhart.
I acknowledge the testing won't accurately reflect game conditions and there is more to a prospect than skating, but it makes you wonder if there is bias creeping into the reports of Draisaitl's skating.

Yeah it's weird it isn't mentioned more often for Reinhart because that's what really stood to me when I watched the prospects game. Reinhart is a decidedly mediocre skater and Draisaitl might end up as a better skater when all is said and done. I think Draisaitl has a powerful stride, he needs a bit more explosiveness.
Reinhart may be the one who slips to 4th
