All players who had time on Jack’s wing - and gacked.

“Sam has shown nothing but the ability to play with Jack” is dumb.

Sam is not a hero, and if he gets $4mill a year as a bridge he should drop to his knees and give thanks.

But he has delivered in situations that many others have not.

What?

None of them have had 1/5 the time Reinhart has.

Remember when Eichel was injured, and our former 2nd overall pick was supposed to step up and provide offense to get us through, and gacked?

Remember when he was supposed to provide depth at center this year, and played the worst hockey of his career?

10 good games, and he’s all the sudden been unfairly criticized.

Holy hell.

None of them had the time because none of them produced... this is not rocket science.

Sam hasn’t had a mere 10 games. He was consistent for two full seasons.

The aberration, if there is one, is the first half of this season, not the last 10 games. But you can’t ride him out of town on his typical play, so you’ll use this past season as the justification b

Sam
1st year- 9 Games 1 point- just a young kid
2nd year -23 goals - Great, this kid is good
3rd year - 17 goals - no show when eichel was hurt - not good, hoping he would step up
4th year - 13 Points thru 44 games. This kid needs to go.

Last 10 games- playing with eichel, is this kid good?

That's pretty inconsistent at best

To be fair he is a #2 overall. All those other guys are scrub 3rd liners or in the twilight of their careers (minus okposo).

He needs to show he can produce on his own.

No. This is revisionist history. He was brutal last year when Eichel was out, and invisible at other times.

He had one good stretch last year with 15 points in 12 games I believe. Had 32 points in the other 67

He’s been a major disaster this year up until 2 weeks ago.

Seriously, wake me up when he does something other than tap in a rebound or make a nice pass every 4 games that’s talked about for days.

Drafting Reinhart #2 is a major reason we are in 30th place......4 years later

I agree but, wait for:

It doesn't matter where he as picked
He didn't pick himself

The inability to play 3rd line center was disappointing for a 2nd overall pick going in to his 3rd full season

I agree. But the picks by buf and cgy make the oil look good. They would have picked a Sam at 2 as well, imo

Equal. They all are mediocre.

Mediocre core + awful supporting cast = 30th place......in 2018

I get the impression you consider him a lost cause

That poopty 32 points is better than anybody else on that long list produced.

You can’t get over the fact he was picked second overall. That doesn’t mean you discard him altogether - it means you recognize his production for what it is, pay him appropriately, and move on.

Your alternate suggestion, that we offer him in exchange for a valued defender, is NONSENSE. If he is invisible and incapable, as you say, why would anyone want to offer anything of value.

You can’t just make stuff up Broads, it has to be sensible. Keep Sam and his production, get over the fact of his draft position, recognize many others have tried his role and failed, and look for ways to improve the team that might actually work.

I agree. But the picks by buf and cgy make the oil look good. They would have picked a Sam at 2 as well, imo
- jcragcrumple

Edmonton took draisaitl at 3 and calgary took the other sam at 4. Im not following your logic on this one.

so can this be changed?

Trade all 4 of them?

No, just not going to celebrate a hot streak like it’s him turning the corner.

If he stays here, and plays with Eichel, cool, they work well together. But for god sakes the most memorable thing he’s done this year if a nifty pass on the PP or his rebound goal that ended up the winner last game.

I changed my tune on him at a time last year, and he puked all over himself for 40 games this year

okay...so you won't celebrate...how about enjoy it for however long it lasts and see where it takes him by year's end?
