just want to gauge the temperature on this guys future, considering the future is about all we've got right now.

If the team is fine with finishing bottom 5 next year then sure go with Reinhart on the 3rd line but I think with the lack of center depth on this team you could have both Jones and Reinhart on the team.
Reinhart hasn't really shown that he is good enough to make it on the team full time next year so if he is you have to be ready for a lot of mistakes and/or have someone ready to fill in whether for games or rest of season if he falters too much. As we saw this year having center depth isn't a bad thing and keeping a cheap, non-liability center around isn't a bad thing.
