Here's a bit of an update I gave on Max about a week and a half ago. His point-getting pace has fallen off a bit since then. I haven't been able to watch the team for about two weeks because they've been on the road, unfortunately.

Reinhart's a defence-first centre, so he was put in defensive situations against other team's top players and (understandably) wasn't put in offensive situations. In other words, lots of defense + little offense + first year pro = a plus/minus number like he's got. That -17 really is not a big deal.

He's doing good for a first year pro. I talked to him just last week and his confidence is sky high with the more opportunities he's been given.

EDIT: The proof that his confidence is growing is in his stats line. In his first 35 games he had 5 points. In his last 13 games, he's collected 9 points.
