If you were to ask yourself which player has been the biggest disappointment during this season, the top contender would certainly be Sam Reinhart. After back to back 40 point seasons, and a 20 goal season in his rookie year, Sam Reinhart’s value has plummeted with just seven goals, 13 points in 44 games.
After a modest start to his career, Reinhart found his niche in the NHL on Jack Eichel’s right wing, not the top six center spot that he was initially projected to have when he was drafted back in 2014. Sam Reinhart looked like he would be a great linemate for Jack Eichel for the next five to ten years, and many hoped that he would take a step forward this season under new coach Phil Housley.
