Reinhart was also promptly transitioned to wing, and never played a full year at centre from what I understand.
Reinhart also plays on PP1 with Eichel...so...yeah, circumstance.

Agreed, and it really does show the risk GM's take when going into free agency. Can you imagine if we had snagged Eric Staal instead of Brouwer on July 1st, 2016? Or David Perron, David Backes, or Michael Grabner? It would have changed the team for the better, significantly so.
