Reinhart is such a tough case. After three full seasons in the WHL, he has absolutely nothing left to prove in junior hockey, but it also seems like the NHL is still too much for him at that point. AHL would be ideal for him and I'm sure the Sabres wish they could send him there. Probably going to get his 9 games and they'll take it from there, I guess.
Ekblad is going to stay for sure IMO. They have 8 defensemen in camp left, and that includes try-out Shane O'Brien ... no way they'll opt for O'Brien instead of Ekblad.
