So unless my posts are nothing but positive about Reinhart (which I have done regularly), it's agenda driven? Give me a break.
Interesting interpretation, but have fun with it.

What does that even mean?
If you are saying that LD is a better NHL player that Sam right now because of his ppg pace through 6 games, I should really just stop now.
Franchise, Elite, Generational. All pretty words that don't really matter in the end.
Why are you so concerned with the label that you want to put on him?
Do you think Ovechkin is a franchise player?

He has been passed because of 5 games in October? Come on
Are you serious? Go watch those guys play. Does it really not bother you to watch Toronto be the most exciting team around, and Nylander being the best one? Watching Toronto is a punch in the gut, and it isn't because of Matthews.
Nylander was quiet for his time up last year. He wasn't close to the player he is this season. He's been lights out because he's been with their future franchise player. Having an elite linemate will do that for you.
I will be plenty appreciative if he is integral to us winning. That is what this is supposed to be all about.
Not that I have any sort of side in this, but this just isn't accurate, it's the other way around. Matthews has looked as good as he has because of Nylander.

The only one that feels like a punch is Marner. Guy is really good, but we got Eichel in that draft. It's quite interesting to see how Toronto built their team, and how we did.

Our "Matthews"(Eichel) was electric with Reinhart last year and showed the same chemistry as Nylander and Matthews. Outside of Eichel, who on our team has the potential offensive impact that Nylander/Matthews brings to Toronto? We need more of that(Nylander was a good start along with our long term #1 pairing LD needing to be filled in) to be there to help Reinhart.
Reinhart looks behind LD in Edmonton because he has a healthy lineup with their franchise guys, when McDavid went down, LD started well, but then tapered off. Reinhart has been pretty even since Eichel went down and has shown during their time together, and in the preseason they were ready to take the next step.
They worked so well together they were considered joined at the hip by fans/coaching staff, and the few of the fanbase that wanted him at center, wasn't because he was bad with Eichel, they wanted him at center because he makes those around him better, which you want out of your centers, and wanted to spread the wealth around(or at least develop him in that role), and create matchup problems for teams. For someone who is trusted to be able to do that and want fans to do this, speaks volumes.
Nylander is playing well, but it looks even better when the guy is able to get the puck to a guy who knows where to go and what to do with the puck.
Good points, ROR and Okposo have really been holding Reinhart down this season.
When your tank season, 2nd overall pick is being passed by other players from that draft, despite having brought in the GM specifically because of his drafting acumen, I'd say he should be our top concern. He was what the tank was about. Is he good enough?
Anyone have a general idea of the outlook for Reinhart this season? I saw that he's getting time at C now, but him scoring more goals than assists last year had me confused on how he was being used.

I don't know why so many people see a problem with Reinhart being brought up as a winger when Eichel is healthy. There's been many players that played center in juniors that were better prospects than Reinhart that started off as wingers to acclimate them with the league. The two in recent memory that come to mind are Mackinnon and Galchenyuk. Both of whom were better prospects in my opinion and more physically developed when it came to their size and skating ability. Reinhart should be playing center now when eichel is out but I think when he comes back he should be slotted back on Eichels wing as he still needs to fill out his frame and work on his skating before he should be slotted in at center.
