Reinhart has talent.  He's a 60-65 point player with consistency issues.  Put him on a team with three NHL quality lines, where players could be better mixed and matched during slumps, and he could be an 80 point player. 

Dumping Reinhart won't help the culture, just like dumping Kane and O'Reilly didn't improve the culture.  It just led to less-talented players losing more hockey games.  Losing more hockey games is a good way to kill culture.

Packaging Reinhart with one or two other players could get this team an equally talented player that brings a grittier style of play that the team sorely needs.

Sam’s got 30 pts in 38 games, more than respectable.  I’d like to see him find a next level.  He’s been on the cusp, it seams to me, for a year and a half.  I’m ready, Sam.  

He's living off Eichel. Soft, complementary player that cannot drive play. He needs to be part of a larger trade and soon.

Everytime we trade a good top 6 forward (see Kane and ROR) we have to replace him, something Boterill has not been able to do yet.  

He has to do something to change the make-up / type of player. It won't be easy to do.

Well, cue the Reinhart defenders, but the dude has not been playing where he needs to be. He's about effective on the first line as Mitts was effective on the second.

Also not too sure about pulling the goalie during the PP at the end there. There's probably numbers that support the move, but it seems more like football thinking than hockey thinking.

At the moment, Reinhart is not adding much. He could use some time in the press box. Soft, complimentary, player who cannot drive play. I would also consider moving him in a hockey trade while he has value. Move Skinner back with Eichel too.

Reino looks out of place with Eichel... he defers too much... need him on a line he can drive...

The problem with that suggestion is that Sammy is not capable of driving play - he's a nice complimentary player, that is all.  I would include him in a trade for a game changer...
