Yeah, except Granlund is a ROOKIE. That year of experience makes a huge difference if you're gonna compare the two. And Granlund has looked better at the NHL level, but it's arguable that his ceiling a higher than Reinhart's.
Reinhart is well rounded for what he is, which will be a bottom 6 player, but I'm not sure he'll even be able to translate as a center. If he slides to RW that would be good. I'd like to see him make the club full time, but he won't be a high impact player by any means. That kind of skill isn't in his game.
Reinhart is probably an 8-10th ranked prospect in the pool. He's closer to an NHL job than Knight and Arnold, so he goes ahead of them, but he's in that same tier.
