Good article, however, I would think most teams picking 4th overall are not looking for "efficient and economical" players. These type of players can probably be found in later rounds.
Some of Reinhart's scouting reports remind me of Kenny Jonsson( smart, efficient, steady). KJ was one of my all-time favorite Islanders. The guy did nothing except play at a high, steady level for yrs.
I'll take a Jonssonlike career from Reinhart.
from the same article:

It’s expected Reinhart will slot in as the club’s fifth defenceman, at least to start off with, but he’ll also log lots of minutes killing penalties for Canada, something he does superbly for the Oil Kings, who lead the WHL in that area.
“He’s a big body, he’s a shutdown guy,†said Kevin Prendergast, Hockey Canada’s head scout. “He’s not flashy or anything like that. He’s efficient, he gets the job done.â€
Along with highlight-reel players like Murphy and Rielly, you need a mix on a championship team, obviously. Not that Reinhart is a one-dimensional player. Far from it. He racked up 36 points for the Oil Kings in the 2011-12 season, although he’s below that pace this season.
