He does have a good motor and he is tenacious on the fore and back check. He is even pretty nifty getting a takeaway through a stick lift every now and then. The issue is just that he gets outmuscled all the time.
I still don't see it for Dorthe personally. For one his offense is still really lacking. I mean even Rebers raw numbers were not particularly impressive in the Swedish U20 league. Jesper Bratt for instance was a PPG player in this league in his draft minus one season and then had pretty good numbers in the Allvenskan in his draft year. And he got picked in the sixth round. Dorthe (and Reber) are nowhere near that. But Reber has at least has somewhat of an international resume playing pretty decent at the Ivan Hlinka and U18's before. And he is almost a year younger than Dorthe as well. Sure Dorthe is a better two way player. But you can find players of this type a dime a dozen in the CHL. Probably with better size or more offensive upside too. If Reber gets drafted its because a team is swinging for the fences in regard to his offensive upside.
Jesper Bratt is a winger and was about as soft as Reber is now. He's become stronger and more intense but he's still kinda soft. Also he would go much earlier in a redraft.
Jan Dorthe is a Center and extremely gritty. He doesn't shy away from contact the way Reber does and the way Bratt did at the time. Even in the CHL, not many first year draft eligible kids do play Center in prominent roles. CHL kids mostly play wing for the first year or two. And if they do play Center, they do so in limited, if not sheltered roles. The draft eligible kids who play top6 roles let alone shoulder heavy defensive workloads are rare. If you look at CHL teams, especially top teams, the Center spots are filled with mostly extremely veteran players, if not overagers. I'm not gonna say that Dorthe is gonna get drafted but there's a chance.
So the fact that Reber played Center in a top6 role is actually kinda important. I'm not sure he would have if he played in the CHL. For most teams he probably wouldn't have. Is it enough to get drafted? We'll see.
