What's being done with Reinhart is normal.
I don't know of many top line players who are circulated between the press box and the fourth line as a way of developing them.
I'm also a little confused as to what the point is of having him in the press box if the goal is to give him his 9 games and then send him back down. If the goal is just to give him a taste and get him down to juniors, why wouldn't they just play him? Why drag it out extra games? This is what they did with Zadarov last year too, and it was the same cycle Grigorenko was put in where he was essentially put in a position to fail.
I'm just not sure what he's supposed to be getting out of this experience other than frustrated.
