Reinhart probably will need a little more time to get adjusted to the pro level game. He doesn't absolutely dominate like a player who makes the team out of camp does (though I'd love to be wrong. Brodie almost made the team out of nowhere and hasn't stopped getting better this year).
Still nice to see young blood pushing for NHL jobs though.

Nemisz's skating is his biggest downfall. He NEEDS more speed. If he can work on and improve greatly on that in the offseason with Hesketh, I could see him pushing for a 3rd line spot.
I believe he has the hockey IQ and the skill set to make in the NHL. His passing skills are phenomenal and his work along the boards is one of the best on the team. He's been getting more physical this season. Not aggressive, but physical.
