For those that need it spelled out for them: potential starter > potential bottom six forward.
I mentioned this in the round 7 thread, but if Reinhart doesn't make the team this year, then I am worried about his long term transition into an NHL player. Most regular NHL forwards make the NHL full time between the ages of 20 and 22. After that, the chances really start to fall off. Reinhart will be 23 around the midway point this next season.

I think he really needs to take the next step into the NHL this season if he is going to continue to progress, but I don't see him making the team unless there is a drastic string of injuries. Here's hoping he does though...
