I am trying to figure out why so many people are making lines with Reinhart as 3rd line center..... Reinhart has been a very good RW next to both Ryan and Jack the last two years, just see him needing a little more consistency. Fasching is not going to be starting first line RW next to Jack, if he makes the team it will be closer to 3rd or 4th line RW. Girgensons is set to center the 3rd or 4th line. I’m also trying to figure out how your pushing Baptiste to the LW when he’s a nature RW. Josefson will be on the LW, his nature position. This means Moulson will probably end up playing somewhere on LW, personally I think he’s going to end up next Ryan on the second line. I also don’t see McCabe and Bogosian playing 3rd pairing, they both should be starting 2rd pairing.

I believe the real mix in the line up as it stands right now will be who makes the team Fasching or Baptiste as the 4th line RW. The other part that is kind of up in the air right now is which line Moulson, Josefson, and Pouliot will play on the LW, unless you think Nylander is going to make the team and pick up one of the LW spots.

I think for the most part, those putting Reinhart as the 3C are doing so BECAUSE they have confidence in him to run his own line and that they want a team that has 3 scoring lines. A group of Eichel-O'Reilly-Reinhart down the middle allows Girgensons to be a more impactful board crashing Left winger, and allows for a deeper scoring group.

Putting Reinhart as a RW on a 2nd line really limits the team to mostly 2 scoring lines.
