He is risking long term security by accepting the qualifying offer, but it will allow him to be a UFA in the summer of 2022.
IMO Reinhart wants out of Buffalo too. Sabres are losing with him and Eichel. This summer the Sabres should trade their two best players for good assets.

He has removed any mention of the sabers from social media. He is probably going to be on a different team next year

Just a prediction: The kings end up with one of Jack Eichel or Sam Reinhart by the start of the 2021-2022 NHL Season.

If he isn't getting traded, that gets him out as soon as possible. Seems like he might want out too.

My understanding is that if he rejects the offer and goes to arbitration, the worst that the arbitrator can do is award him his QO, so what's the incentive for him to accept? It doesn't get him out of Buffalo any sooner.
