Report: NHL team signs star player’s brother
Keystone Press

In a move that has seemingly been lost in the offseason shuffle, the Ottawa Senators have announced that they’ve signed forward Max Reinhart to a one-year, two-way contract worth $650,000.

Reinhart, the eldest son of former NHL defenseman Paul Reinhart, had formerly played in the NHL for the Calgary Flames , but spent last season in Germany’s DEL with the Cologne Sharks. Of course, he’s the older brother of Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Griffin Reinhart and emerging star forward Sam Reinhart of the Buffalo Sabres.

The 25-year-old center has yet to establish himself as a regular NHLer, but it’s expected he’ll be given a fair shot to prove his worth at training camp later this summer. In 23 career NHL games, the former third round draft choice of the Calgary Flames in 2010 has produced one goal and five assists.
