I like the kid. But Bennett, Ritchie, Ekblad, and even Draisiatl fill much more of a need than Reinhart does IMO.

With the exception tat Reinhart can transition over to RW with the only RH shot out of the top three to five or six forwards. Something the Flames really do need. Can you imagine him feeding the likes of Monahan or Granlund along with Gaudreau for the next five years? Would be pretty sweet.
