Are we talking cage match?
”Jeopardy!” tournament of NHL’ers?
Same contract? Either that means Oloffson is getting WAY overpaid while he is much older, or Reinhart, despite his warts, is on a very cheap contract for what his pedigree dictates. I have to go with Reinhart here. Take him away from Eichel and Reinhart is at least serviceable. Or if he signs for middle dollar he becomes our greatest trade chip.
Now there’s some logic being applied to the apparent false dichotomy of the OP.
Reinhart is a good player, but back in 2014 if everyone knew what this is what he'd turn into there'd be a lot of disappointment.
really? Only behind Draisatl, Pasta, Ehlers in scoring; on par with Larkin, and add in W. Nylander for scoring pace. Every one of those other players (save Draisatl in EDM) have 2x the number of NHL-top-6 forwards on their team rosters that BUF has, even DET.
Plug Reinhart into any of those other teams and his stats would go up. Plug any of those others onto BUF and their stats would go down.
A 1st round redraft with perfect knowledge? I’d most likely want Larkin or Draisatl. But to presume crystal ball disappointment without context of supporting team cast / depth... I don’t see it.
btw, Everyone missed on Brayden Point, and Arvidsson in NASH.
I'm going with Reinhart in a celebrity deathmatch. He's a lot bigger than Olofsson, and has experience getting batted around and taking it. He's good with his stick as well. If he can avoid Olofsson shooting things at him quickly, I think he wins.
(for those thinking I'm writing about a real deathmatch, don't take it so literal. I'm talking about the clay fake versions that MTV used to show. Duh...)
I loved watching those. Macabre humor. The nexus between artistic creativity and pop culture parody.
