I see 0 reason why Reinhart wouldn't translate to the NHL at all. I think he has better than average, if not great puck handling, his agility is also pretty near great as well. I think you are selling Reinhart pretty short here and most if not all other top guys this year have the same questions if not more about them.

That's why different people have different opinions. Saying a guy is a top 5 pick in a flat draft isn't really selling him short though. If Reinhart had the puck game, speed, and physical play we would be talking about an elite prospect like Mackinnon or McDavid. It is a lack of those things that holds him back.
I value physical play and speed. It's why I have him as five on my list. Some teams will agree with me. Some people will agree with me. Some won't.
I think it's totally fair to have Reinhart at first or second. I also think it's fair to have him at five.
