Right hand shot. Reinharts family connection to the Flames. He'd have been the 3rd Reinhart to be a Flame. Plenty of reasons. Had nothing to do with skillsets at the time.
Heck, that draft I recall even pushing for Nylander a bit. Bennett and Draisaitl and Reinhart were all great pucks and we were lucky to get at least one, but Nylander should have went higher too.
