the hate for sam began ever since jack was drafted



he is the old toy under the bed, and 80 percent of you guys can't view him with an open mind

- homiedclown

Stop it.

The “hate” started when the guy barely did a thing besides a few nice deflections on the PP, or a great pass every 15 games or so up until January 2018

nope, I think some of our fans think 25 goal scorers grow on trees
- homiedclown


Some do... and even when we have goal scorers they don’t like how they scored...

Frankly, I am disheartened that no one has said he only had 10 goals 5-on-5

Bust!

Maybe.

I don’t think it’s too early to say he will never go on an end to end rush for a goal, or take over a game like Jack has.

I see that potential in Casey, Eichel, Dahlin.

Not Sam.

Most ( edit a lot of teams) teams don’t even have one of those types of players, nevermind three.

Sabre fans! I found an awesome prospect website called nhlprospectreport.ca. They have wrote a really good article on Casey Mittelstadt and a bunch of other prospects.

Lots of elite players that are much better than Reinhart also have bad seasons, it’s not like 2017 was the norm.
Kid has a bad first half suddenly he’s trash, no he’s not gonna rush up the ice through everyone and score like the Eichels and mcdavids, but there are very few players that can do that.
If Reinhart averages 60 ish points a season and around 20-25 goals, I could care less how he gets the points as long as the results are there.

I might be misreading ppls comments but it seems most on here have no use for Sam, maybe I’m off on this, but it seems unless he’s the next Gretzky ppl will constantly be complaining.
Again I could be off on that assumption.

I was at that January game in Vancouver when they won 4 - 0. They actually looked good, albeit against the Canucks. Baptiste scored a nice one that game. Free Baptiste from the 4th line stiffs so that he can prove he is an NHLer.

so he is your new Kane


got it


kid had 3 different coaches in his short time here
averages 22 goals a season

and stinks

william nylander plays with much better players, reinhart has more goals yet reinhart stinks because he was on pathetic teams

- homiedclown


Homi, I don't think anyone said Reinhart stinks. Most of us still want Reinhart to prove himself before a big contract is given to him. Myself, I watch him during games, he never wins a battle along the boards and gets knocked off the puck quite easily. Just stating fact.

Who were the three? Bylsma, Housley and?....
Surely you are not including Nolan for the 11 game cup of tea and crumpets he had right.
You wouldn't proclaim that short period with a coach to have any sort of impact on him right?

That first stint was like a deer in the headlights. The plan seemed to be "don't get absolutely blown up"

none of these guys scored 25 goals in a season

larkin, william nylander, sam bennett, mantha, drouin, lindholm, horvat, max domi, burakovsky, tom wilson, marner



reinhart has averaged 22 a season and got 25 last year



unless they changed the rules to where most hits win a game, or most face off wins, or loudest cheerleader on the bench wins the game


I stand pat saying reinhart is worth much more in the 2018 market then you guys are using as realistic expectations


it's absurd to think he should settle for 4 mil per

or 4.5



you would think the kid scored 9 goals last season instead of being tied with jack for the team lead


maybe if he smacked his car into a doughnut shop and knocked his girlfriend up he would be more respected on our forum

so learning nolan's stint counted about as minimal as the 25 goals he scored last year

Homi....would you trade Reinhart straight up for William Nylander?
