Virtanen I think will have a more consistent career than Bourque who seemed to nosedive right off a cliff after getting a long term contract (I used to be quite the fan of motivated Bourque...the one that played on PP and PK) but he doesn't seem complete and I'd probably be fine if Reinhart and Virtanen went to their favourite teams.
Edit - Of course, I wouldn't be expecting a complete player after the top 5 or so in this draft. I just feel the above are some some concerning signs for me if I was a GM. Maybe I favour consistency a little too much.
