You'll have to elaborate what expectations and pressure there would be on them that stems solely from being brothers on the same team because I can't think of any.
All three are talented youngsters with good size and hockey vision/IQ, being brothers is just a nice bonus. If we draft Sam Reinhart, it'll be because he's the best player available at #4. If we go after Griffin Reinhart it'll be because he's a solid blue-chip d-man prospect, something we're very short on.
All three are also at different stages of their development. Max is probably ready to graduate to full-time NHL status. Griffin's spent the last two years after his draft year in junior but sounds ready for the next step. Sam will likely be sent back to junior as well.
