I know you're smarter than that. Young Cs are often put on the wing as an easier way to transition into a higher league and get a chance to learn before being put back at C. Lindholm is another example. It doesn't say anything negative about the player, it is just good coaching and good development.
As for the my opinion thing, yeah that's kind of what we do here.
If you would like to present a case showing how an under-age Reinhart is better today than Jankowski who is 2 years ahead of him, feel free.
As for Jankowski not being strong enough to play C... maybe you didn't see the report that he is now 190 lbs. I am willing to bet (purely my opinion here) that he is stronger than any of those kids you listed, with the possible exception of Horvat.
