Today on Oil On Whyte, following Sammi’s review of Edmonton Oilers Captain Andrew Ference, is my take on another recent addition: Griffin Reinhart.
Potential
As I stated in my Cam Talbot Player Review, “potential” is a word that is becoming groan worthy when it comes to new acquisitions and Reinhart does fit that bill. Peter Chiarelli went to town on Draft Day 2015 trading all but one of the first six draft picks. Two of those draft picks, the 16th overall (which became Matthew Barzal) and the 33rd Overall Pick (later traded with the 72nd to Tampa Bay for the 28th pick which became Anthony Beauvillier) to the New York Islanders for Griffin Reinhart.
