I don't know if you should read too much into 1st/2nd/3rd line. A lot of teams (including the Flames) don't have clear cut number one or two lines, so the ice time is split fairly evenly among the top 3 lines. I would imagine the line(s) that are playing well would get more playing time. I can't say for certain whether or not that's the case in Abbotsford but it's not uncommon.
Also - some of our center prospects may need to be moved to the wing. Again - not saying that's the case with Reinhart specifically - but I could see guys like Granlund/Horak being tested in a few different positions. I don't see anything wrong with that.
