Agreed. Would be a nice little bonus if it helped shed okposos contract.
- TheHank



Unless it’s to an expansion team, I’m not interested in moving him just to shed Okposo. He’s not a bad player. Just has had some injury issues. To be honest if (and I hope he doesn’t) he has one more bean issue, I could see him just calling it a career.

It makes a ton of sense. Package him with Okposo maybe if he has a great year and a team finds that his value evens out Okposos.

replaced by Thompson and one of our 1st rounders next year?

well said...botts has been locked in

The little things, like getting Hutton for less term and lower $ than expected really impress me. Still need to cleanse a bit more from GMTM, and now the salary dumps JB took on, but I love the direction he's going.

Maybe, but he'll be an RFA with arb rights and a 3.75m QO. If he plays well, it's good for everyone involved.

Sounds more like a ROR vs Colorado situation.

Hey just making sure your address is still the same?

Works been stupid busy and I just haven’t had time to get that to you.

It’s all boxed up and ready to go for tomorrow.

I added a little bonus since it’s been so long.

he has a lot of positive things going for him right now...Eichel and Dahlin being huge in that respect...needs to milk it for all he can because once the tide turns, it'll be harder to get those friendly deals

How could he be. I don't think there was a more bi-polar player in the entire league last year.

depends what he starts plateauing at...

if he's in the 60+-point range, yes...his present 50-point range, not so much

- Michael Pachla


I think 65 points will be Reinhart's high-water mark when his career is over. I think he's gonna be around 55 points a year.



Having a career year this year would be beneficial. Thanks in advance, Mr Reinhart

Wait til the leaves start turning

Start at around 4 pm, and watch the leaves change colors as the sun goes down.

Ahem... Or so I've heard

He himself might be bipolar. His play never was.

- Michael Pachla

Once of the other things he's done is build enough depth that you can see getting quality bottom 6 contributions from guys on 1m or under contracts. It's going to take a few years, but he'll get the cost of the bottom 6 under control....right when he needs to start paying Casey, Dahlin, etc.

Incredible deal for GMJB. Let's see him (Reinhart) step up and earn that max deal over the next two years.

Sure. Who knows. Any way you cut it I doubt it would cost 9.65M against the cap or 12-13M if and when Sam resigns.

It’s not his fault he has concussion issues.


He’s not a bad player when his bean is right.

It’s a shame actually.

Reinhart has only missed 6 games in 3 years

7 if you count Disco slapping his peepee and gluing him to the bench late in '17
