Reinhart was one of the early stars in Calgary.

I remember when he signed the first "million dollar" contract on the Flames... not a million per season, a multiyear deal that paid one-million total (I think it was 4 years).

He was also one of the rare players who got better in the playoffs. He was a career 0.86 P/G in the regular season and 0.93 P/G in the playoffs... which itself is insane for a defenceman. In fact, IIRC, Bob Johnson moved him to forward for a period of time.

I always felt bad for Reinhart and Berezan for being big parts of the team for many years, but getting moved just before the Cup (Reinhart that offseason and Berezan at the deadline in 89). Of course, it almost backfired because Reinhart was one of the reasons the Canucks pushed the Flames to Game 7 OT in the first round that year.
