I've said for a couple years, he's an elite passer from behind the offensive goal.

It's a unique skill

I wondered if I was watching different games or maybe just suffering from the peyote years.

we agree a lot when the conversation does not involve ror or lehner/rask

To quote bad santa, "they can't all be winners"


As for Reinhart behind the net, he has such good touch and vision. The area suits him.

Maybe sam feels like the Sabres kinda sabotaged him last year, by playing him at 3c with very little talent?

2 years 9.5 million

- Boss34


No offense to you specifcally...

The narrative of Sam at 3C last season being why he played so pourly really is way, way over blown, it needs to stop as an excuse for a very poor 1st half performance

He played crappy for 44 games, before putting up nearly a PPG pace in last 38.
In those 44 games, a total 17 games were at 3C
Inthe other 27 games, he played with Jack and ROR and produced at ghe same poopty PPG pace as the 1st 17.

It just is fake news / a false narrative...plain and simple.

does 3 coaches in 3 years and a handful of games play a part with a 21 year old?

We could say nobody knows why he sucked for half of a contract year.
But this is hockeybuzz, where everyone is right and knows everything.
...So obviously, your friend isn't listening.

I tried to find this one goal where he fed ROR from the far-side behind the net, back across, right on to ROR's stick for a tap-in. Can't find it on the youtube. Can't even remember what year it was

Didn’t he only play 3C for like 10-12 games?

I’m a Sam supporter,
but we need to stop blaming that for the other 30-ish games where he sucked

I’m guessing they had hoped Sam could elevate Pouliot & Griffith,
but that was a tough ask
I still wouldn’t mind seeing Sam at Center
But he needs a guy who can finish

That’s been our big problem 5v5 imo
Not enough guys who can finish
Too many “playmakers”

Very good post...
Your main houghts are spot on, the details are slightly off.

That false narrative is a trigger f or me I guess.

I remember two amazing ones from behind the net. Great plays, but once a year kind of things. I think the best was his rookie year.

Anyways, I think he's a good supporting player and I'd bridge him without a second thought.

And literally 0 people didn’t think depth was a problem.

Saying that people only blamed Kane and O’Reilly is just incredibly off base

- homiedclown


I dont think 3 coaches, unless one counts the 9 game run as his "1st season"
2 with Disco Dumbo where he performed decently.
1 with Housley that was two ends of the spectrum.

Adjustment time? surely....just not 44 games to do it.

It i s a stretch to lay it at thdd feet of coaching change for that long of a period.
