I loved Reinhart when I was a kid. Injuries derailed what could have been a HOF career. I don’t think he even hit the 500 game mark. *edit- he actually played over 600 games*.Special player. Monahan, too. Very talented.

It’s funny, both Monahan and Reinhart are perceived as laid back guys with little fire in their bellies. That tag is unfair to both, I think. Neither one was going to play with much sandpaper in their games. Just not the way they are built probably. I don’t question their desire to win though.

My choice is Monahan. I think he has been very consistent for Calgary. If he wants to stick around I think he could be one of the all-timers, if he isn’t already.
