You shouldn't be leaving him off the list but I doubt there will be too many takes anyway.

according to friedman, the sabres aren't interested in moving the likes of Ristolainen, Scandella or reinhart unless the offer is serious

He just signed a massive contract there is zero chance he's moved

and he's a franchise center those don't just fall of trees

Yeah I saw that in your blog. Eichel of course has incredible talent but the impression I'm getting he's a bit tarnished at this point and seems to be getting a whiner rep. Couple those things with his contract I would think the Sabres may be having 2nd thoughts.... I can't see ANYONE wanting to pay anything significant for reinhart I mean why would They? He hasn't exactly been to great maybe I'm missing something you guys know a helluva lot more than I do about your team.

Exactly my thoughts who is overpaying for those two?

Yeah I know he isn't going anywhere but at this point you guys are happy with Eichel and his contract? Also, do you consider him a legit franchise center at this point?

Well I mean scandella makes some sense cause if you move him you've officially run out of guys who can play defence lol.

which means to me that botts is not interested at moving them at this point

his contract doesn't kick in until next season

CBS bringing the A Team for the broadcast; NFL Network sent Kim Jones. There's a storm coming. Buckle up, it's the law.

I mean his attitude could improve a little. But Yes I am happy with him and yes he is a franchise center.

I hear you ok. Didn't know what sabre fans take was on Eichel at this point.

Makes sense.

I don't get the reinhart hate...he's on the final year of his entry-level deal and will be re-signed to a very reasonable bridge contract...he's got skills, but is a young player in a very difficult situation...he may not be second-overall worthy at this point, but he's not on a bad contract either

I'm just going by what I read and the odd times I watch a Sabres game. He doesn't seem to be showing signs of developing quite the opposite actually. I mean you're right that'll only help his next contract but with that said I'd rather have a guy paying well and have to pay him more .
Kind of strange reasoning to say well he's not playing well so we can pay him less for 3 or 4 years and HOPE he figures it out
