Reinhart Signs Big Contract<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Florida Panthers were a machine this season, and a lot of it had to do with the stellar play of Reinhart. When you think of prominent scoring threats you think of Auston Matthews<\/a>, David Pastrnak<\/a>, and even in a down year Alex Ovechkin<\/a>. However, Reinhart was right up there with those names and had a strong scoring season. <\/span><\/p>\n

Reinhart went on to score 57 goals, which shattered his career high of 33 he set during the 2020-21 season. Furthermore, he scored 27 of those goals on the power play, as he was a threat on the man advantage. Also, his production as a whole rose, as he finished with 94 points which led the Panthers<\/a>. He was a cog in the Panthers machine and he was arguably the best player for them all year long. <\/span><\/p>\n

What This Means <\/span><\/h3>\n

This Reinhart contract is great for both sides. The (enter team) is getting a prominent player. Ever since being traded from the Buffalo Sabres to the Panthers, his game offensively has been taken to new heights. Reinhart has emerged as a legit scoring threat and is a player that can be plugged in key offensive situations. <\/span><\/p>\n

This team is getting a player that can log top minutes and go up against the opposing teams\u2019 best. If you need scoring and production, he is a player to lean on for that. This is a great deal for Reinhart but also for the club as they advance. <\/span><\/p>\n
