Observations:

February 2013 – The Islanders did invite Reinhart to camp after the lockout ended, but it was a short camp for him as he was sent back to the WHL. Much more has been expected of Reinhart this season that what he has given. His WJC was rather uneventful with only a single assist in his 5 games. His outlook is still very strong at this point. Jason Banks

December, 2012 - Reinhart was selected to compete for Team Canada at the WJC in Russia. Rich Dillon

November 2012 – Reinhart has not produced up to expectations yet this season with only seven points in 21 games, well below his normal level of over .5 points per game for the Edmonton Oil Kings. Jason Banks

August, 2012- Reinhart signed an entry-level contract with the Islanders and will report to camp when it opens. Rich Dillon

June, 2012 - The Islanders quickly snatched up Griffin Reinhart with the 4th overall selection in the 2012 NHL Draft. Brendan Ross

May 2012 – Reinhart was rock for the Oil Kings on their way to capturing the WHL crown. He had eight points in 20 games and was a plus-14. Unfortunately he didn’t fare as well in the Memorial Cup where he was a minus-five in only four games. Reinhart’s solid season should see him drafted in the early-mid first round.  Zenon Herasymiuk

February, 2012  – Griffin Reinhart is a towering rearguard who is mature beyond his years. The Edmonton Oil King is blessed with NHL size and a blistering shot. Though he is not afraid to mix it up he has yet to discover how to use his large frame to his advantage in both the offensive and defensive zones.

Fantasy Outlook: A

Big but still a little raw, Reinhart oozes potential but will likely spend at least another season in the WHL.
