Clown, you are bang-on. Anyone thinking that Reinhart is signing any AAV deal that starts with a "4" is smoking some serious ganja.

unless he was a 75 point per year center, kid was not gonna get a decent shake from some of these fans


I swear we don't deserve good things

Ever since I read Stimson’s article I think he isn’t crazy when he says Reinhart playing as the 2C can help the team the most this season.

Skinner-Eichel-Bailey(size element)
Berglund-Reinhart-Okposo
Sheary-Mittelstadt-Thompson/Baptiste
Wilson-Sobotka-Pominville

the kid is 22 years old, tied for team in goals


he belongs in that core of second tier players you build your team around


65 goals in 3 years


more then larkin
more then wilson


but keep dreaming it's a 4 mil contract
- homiedclown

Meaning 4 for the 1st year and
5.75 the 2nd?

2 years for a tad under 10 million is what I would offer

2 for 11 is what I'd expect. Not 6.5 or 7

your expecting a bridge


if it was a bridge deal, probably would have been locked up by now

even if bridge, 5-5.5 for 2


6 to 6.5 per if long term


like I said a month ago

"Sam Reinhart, also an unsigned RFA, will also benefit from Larkin’s deal."

That second line is slow as molasses, and Berglund is a better center than Reinhart

Also, where's Erod?

I'm not sure if jbotts wants him for 7 or 8 years based on his 1/2 and 1/2 season.

I'm taking the under on vs. Larkins deal

Just an opinion.

I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't swap Berglund and Reinhart? What do you see as the benefit? And I think Berglund is a C/LW

Mitts is gonna out score sam this season.
Points anyways.

Should be close, but sam 55-60
Mitts 60 plus

my mistake

the dirty pod racer played a lot of time at RW

- jcragcrumple

Fair point ! Needless to say we have options.

I think you're right. I don't think they were going to add Skinner without moving RoR's deal. It's not because of this years cap, it's the long term projection. Three years out, the projections get really ugly with RoR + Kane/Skinner. JB needed to keep some flexibility to pay the next group of guys coming off their ELC's and I'm glad he did.
- Lunaion

Agreed. I just think JB is being smart with the cap at this point

Fiscal responsibility

Different approach

The Detroit Red Wings and restricted free agent Dylan Larkin agreed to a five-year contract extension on Friday, at an AAV of $6.1 Million.

Reinhart has 9 more goals.

Reinhart has 9 more goals.

15 percent more


that's what the agent will say

Reinhart has 9 more goals.
- Wetbandit1

Reinhart has 7 less even strength.
Also played 7 more games

Larkin is arguably Detroit's best player

Dahlin
Mitts

Mitts is Buffalos 3rd best player?

Seeing sam get less

5.17- 5.25 for 5 or 6 years

Basically tom wilson $.

Pretty much everyone would rather have Larkin, except homie and Sam's parents

Same term and $
- Boss34

Brace yourself. Larkin only had 5 goals through 42 games last year. Sound familiar?

Except awful Sam had 7 through 40.

Sure Larkin got assists during the awful first half, but that's more a function of him being a center.

we should be honored that Mrs. Draisaitl and Mrs. Larkin stop by and post in Pachla's thread

Do you just give your employees extra money, just because?

Reinhart has no leverage

Neither did Larkin.

So you would rather have sam.

I think playing in the nhl has more factors then just goals.

Centers are harder to find
Sam tried and couldn't hang at center

I know, it was his linemates fault

I guess the trade hasnt really set in completely with me.

Bump sam down to at least 6
