Yeah That is plane silly.

For all those Cap Wizzzards out there.
Max Domi, he of back to back 9 goal seasons just got a two year “bridge” deal for 3.15 a year.
Well Bergevin is also a moron who is turning into MacTavish. So at this point I wouldn't take this into consideration with what Botterill has planned. Bergevin took a playoff team on the cusp of the Stanley Cup Finals a few seasons ago and has turned them into a barn fire.

I'm positive he'll be a center. He'll get his chance.I would be shocked if Sam isn't playing center next year.
It's looking that way. And he'll be getting the tough match-ups at home at least. They will need to put together a shutdown line with him in the middle - so who would his wingers be?I would be shocked if Sam isn't playing center next year.

What was terrible about it?They might try it but I don't think it will be a long experiment given how terribly he handled it as a 3C (in before linemates excuse as if ROR and Eichel didn't have crap wingers). They traded ROR for two players that can play center as well, so I don't think they like his chances either.

Players can improve Faceoffs. Many players had slow starts last year.Well he would be our worst faceoff guy for starters (39.4%). His slow start as well was with him centering the 3rd line where he had like 4 ES points in his first 20 games.

No? I mean Berglund went from low 40's to mid 50's. O'Reilly went from low 50's to 60's. You can improve with work.He will never be above 45%. Even that is a major improvement.
It seems with RoR gone, Reinhart is being groomed as part of the center spine. That is what was envisioned from day 1 was Sam at center, not a winger.
We have a situation where both Mittelstadt and Reinhart and push each other over the center role, and we only need one to win out. 3rd line is set at center with both Sobotka and Berglund being wholly capable of that role, which helps the two above by being able to take some of the more defensive minutes, sheltering them.The coaching staff needs to be talking to him now about preparing to go back to center of that's what they intend. But wouldn't be surprised to see them keep him at wing.
Probably trade him for a first and a mid tier prospect.I don’t think Botterill has any idea what he wants to do with Reinhart.

I think he's much more than that and they are wasting his creativity and hockey Sense on the wing. Some of his passes are ridiculousPart of me just wants to put Reinhart in a position to succeed as a winger and have a good 82 game season. Especially since Eichel needs a good RW.
But on the other hand... If we gave him a real shot at 2C and he becomes that guy that we hoped he would we're back to the deep center spine we dreamt about before getting Eichel.
Probably not a good idea though, maybe we should just enjoy him for what he is, a likable guy that can play top 6 minutes on the wing?
