Reinhart
Mantha might score more goals but Reinhart will get more assists. A centre that gets assists will usually outpace a sniper.
Points only, which one would be your choice?

I like Mantha more, but I think he's three years away from big points whereas Reinhart can help in fantasy a lot sooner. Mantha more upside. Reinhart less wait time.

D - Hronek, Morrissey, Lundkvist, Girard, Brannstrom, Rathbone, Hanifin, Severson, Durzi
My vote is for Reinhart. He is going to score goals AND collect assists. He will also have the better opportunity to play in Buffalo whereas Detroit traditionally takes its time with its rookies.

See Reinhart as Bergeron-lite with a bit more offensive upside. Call it 60-70 points once he's humming.
See Mantha as James Neal with a bit less dbaggery Give him an elite C and think he could push 40g and 35a. Without one, 30g and 25a.
Reinhart's the safe bet - Mantha's the riskier payoff (and longer wait as Dobbs mentioned).
Since I see Sam on your farm, I'll assume you were offered Mantha and personally I'd decline a straight swap.

I'd go with Reinhart based on situation, position and overall skill set. If goals were bonused, I'd consider Mantha, but in a straight points give me the center blessed with dirty hockey sense.

I like manthas upside more, but he'll be a longer wait as mentioned.

I'd go with Reinhart.

G - C.Hellebuyck, D.Dubnyk, A.Niemi, K.Lehtonen
I'd take Reinhart over Mantha. Assuming it's Sam and not Max or Griffin?
I see Sam as an elite #2 center who plays a strong two-way game but can still score 65-75 points because he gets time on the top powerplay. I'm not a fan of Mantha.
Reinhart no doubts. I'm skeptical about Mantha's upside if it translates at the NHL.
