I like the guy but c'mon let's turn the page I can't be the only one that thinks this - gerbe75pts
Pretty sure you are. He is not taking a roster spot from a player of significance, he can help teach the kids to win in the AHL, and give years of experience on how to handle a full season grind. He's exactly the type of player that is needed down there.

I think its funny that if Jack was not on the team people on the site would call Sam the franchise Center put him on the first line etc now he's just an afterthought and garbage ..

He is an after eichel thought. Not an after thought. All the Samson talk is mostly a joke.

Not me.
Sam is going to be just fine. Maybe even better, now that ROR and/or Jack are theoretically taking tougher matchups away from him.

Once 23 is confirmed as Reinhart's number on the Sabres roster, I plan on getting his jersey. I am a big fan of Reinhart and I think he is going to do amazing things for this team over the next 10+ years. Probably won't be flashy but somehow he'll (eventually) rack up 60+ points per year and be +20.

I know this comparison is overused, but if he turns out to be a Bergeron type, and Jack comes as advertised, look the (frank) out!

Not everyone .. Sam will do good and come into camp even bigger and stronger. Ike talked nothing but praise for him a couple days ago. They both will have a learning curve and be 2 of the best players on the team.

There's like.. 2 people at most making him an after thought. (frank)ing ridiculous.
I usually hate Matt Coller and his writing but he wrote a good piece on Ellis the other day. I fully support having him in Rochester. - Stripes77
Yea that piece he wrote was great. I love flashy players but I love those players with a great work ethic and heart even more, just like Matt (Frank)ing Ellis!
Something Garth wrote actually made sense...could this be the beginning of him transitioning to coach? A player/coach. TM did say they were thinking about going a route that hasn't been tried before. - Stripes77
That is exactly my thought when I herd GMTM say that. I think it would work well there and once he cannot play anymore, he just moves behind the bench.
