Reinhart plays both sides though, and besides, we are not at a point where we can absolutely pin down all of our LHD either. Even if Reinhart were LHD only, just having so many horses in the race is a good idea unless we want to gamble our entire rebuild on the hopes that all our D fulfill the most optimistic script for them out there. There's no such thing as having too much of a good thing. At worst we might make a D trade.
edit: also btw Barzal doesn't get you Hamonic. The Isles want to trade him for a D, because they don't want to trade him at all. In fact, the Reinhart trade makes a Hamonic trade more possible. If Reinhart catches fire for the rest of this season, then they would listen to a Hamonic for Klefbom swap. I'm not saying we should do that, but it least it would be an option. Honestly, I don't think Eberle+ would do it like many say just because they want D. I also highly doubt there could be a three way deal out there. Those deals are just so rare that they aren't realistic.
Isn't that what we are doing currently anyways? We are currently hoping that our defensemen (mainly Klef, Nurse, or Reinhart) fulfill their optimistic script. We are currently gambling our rebuild hoping that one of these defensemen turn into that stud defensemen we need so bad. Adding more unproven talent (like when we added Reinhart) doesn't change any of that, its just adding more players who we hope can turn out. Nothing against Reinhart but the thinking of adding a unproven defensemen who we hope can become good isn't the solution (unless the guy is like an Ekblad level player).
