Edmonton Oilers: Vegas Selects Reinhart, Per Reports

The Golden Knights can select one player from each team. Despite Benoit Pouliot, Jujhar Khaira and a number of other NHL-ready players being up for grabs from Edmonton, Vegas will apparently take Reinhart.

Edmonton acquired Reinhart in exchange for draft picks in a 2015 offseason trade. The Oilers hoped that Reinhart would be part of the solution to fixing and upgrading their defence corps.

However, despite posting 62 hits and 46 blocks through 29 games with the Oilers in 2015-16, he had just a lone assist, was a minus-6 and did a poor job taking care of the puck.
