Reino is a late birthdate player and he was playing in Europe. Those are literally the hardest players to scout in their draft season. He was not eligible for those U18 tournaments who are heavily scouted by NHL and it is extremely difficult to compare players who play totally different level of hockey e.g. Swiss men league, Allsvenskan (2nd mens league in SWE), MHL (RUS juniors), etc.
You say tbh but you're not honest. He hasn't played a game in the NHL yet, so it's impossible to know until he plays.
Impossible to know indeed, but still an doable exercise if you consider the information available to date
He was ranked as low as the 20s toward the Draft Day lists. That doesn't mean other circumstances didn't come up to change the draft order -- by all accounts most teams were enticed by his package + position + handedness.
The difficulty to scout doesn't mean only Hughes and Bobrov have the magic tools to get it right. If they're hard to get a read on, it means precisely that and nothing more. Hard to get a read on = hard to get it right.
That's not how a redraft works. You need metrics for comparables. A lot of players from that draft class haven't even played a game in the NHL yet.
