I don't think the Horak thing comes as a shock to me as he would have been one of the first trades under the Burke/Feaster regime. You could tell by the moves being made closer to the start of the season that his spot was being squeezed out by more Burke like players. Horak was stepping up huge in prospect and training camp and he was still somehow getting buried. Still don't agree with it, I think we will come to regret this trade, but it is what it is. Hopefully he signs with a team better suited to him then the Oilers because I think they will do the same to him and he is a hell of a player.
Reinhart I think Burke will learn to love. Or Conroy will someone convince him to learn to love him because Conroy is pretty high on him. I think if Max starts playing the more "truculent" game, or at least throwing the body around a little more, Burke will fall in love with him. He can be a dirty player and he can be that 3rd line grind line sort of centre.
