A guy like Reinhart, described by one NHL talent evaluator as “Einstein on skates”, works well with a player like Eichel because he actually understands the game as well as Jack does.
Great players are hard to play with because they’re thinking the game faster than everyone else, not because they’re overwhelmingly more capable physically.
Sam Reinhart overwhelms nobody physically. It’s possible a good ten percent of this board could win a straight line race with him, but it doesn’t matter with his toolbox.
