again you refused to answer my question

how is saying matthews is better then eichel, and he is


how is that hate?



if I say skinner is not ovi, is that hate?



armia is not lockport larry, is that hate?



this team is winning and every 4th or 5th post you and a few others still have a subtle jab at reinhart



I don't post negative things on jack daily


get off your high horse and look for a mail order bride

The thing with matthews is that if he doesn’t score a goal, you have to check the roster sheet to even know he played. However, it’s not often when matthews isn’t scoring goals. Eichel dominates games whether he gets on the scoresheet or not. Only Gaudreau and McDavid has had more time with the puck on their stick in the offensive zone then Eichel this year. Eichel is top 3 in the league in shots on goal. When Eichel only had 5 goals in the 25 games he had 27 assists to make up for it. Eichel has 26 points in his last 16 games with Sam Reinhart and Jeff skinner. How much more damage do you think Eichel could do with a supporting cast of Marner, Tavares, Nylander, Kapanen ? Eichel is the only player in the top 20 in scoring that doesn’t have another one of his teammates in the top 20. You like Matthews, I’ll take Eichel 7 times out of 10.

Except I answered it three posts ago.

It isn’t hate. But you accuse people of “hating” Sam when they say the same things about him that you do on #9

You literally just “ ” a post that said Eichel is better than Matthews.

As if it’s laughable to suggest that.

How. Is. That. Different. From. What. People. Say. About. Sam?

Now answer my question

The point is, Eichel is as important to this team as McDavid is to his. The Sabres should not be taking offers on Eichel. Eichel is 4 points off McJesus as we sit here

if the bruins were dumb enough to offer Pastrnak, Krejci 2 prospects and 4 first rd picks for jack


the sabres should listen

Fielding offers is different than listening. Every gm should listen to every offer

Before we try Reinhart at center again, perhaps:

Sheary - Eichel - Okposo
Skinner - Mitts - Reinhart

If Eichel can carry his line by himself...

Just a thought.

- RhinoFan


Sure
Ppl seem to want to break up Skinner & Jack as an absolute last resort though

Also...
I’m absolutely done with Sobotka at 3C
I know E Rod hasn’t been what he was last year, but i think it’s time he gets a look if we are keeping Mitts at 2C

This is big. The bad news is Jokiharu (sp?) was sent back to Finland so Laaksonen's minutes will be cut.
- RhinoFan


Urho Vaakanainen may play above him. But, maybe not. Jokiharju plays the right side, Laaksonen the left.

- sbroads24

over the entire body of work, matthews is a better player

the gap shrunk but it's still mcdavid, matthews and jack IMO in that order

and that is not a dig, as I have never seen 3 young centers in a 2 year draft dominate the nhl like these 3

can you imagine if they took bennett over reinhart

leon was not on the short list, 95% reinhart, 5% bennett

- homiedclown


If the Sabres had drafted Leon and the Oilers taken Reinhart, their stats would be flipped and everyone on this board would be second guessing why we took that lousy German.

I can still remember Reinhart being on the ice for Canada in the 2015 gold medal game against Russia with 90 seconds to go. There were multiple d-zone faceoffs and the Canadian coach kept Reinhart on the ice, taking all the draws. McJesus was sitting on the bench, watching. Reinhart was a stud in that tourney and pressure filled game.

And no, I am not inferring that Reinhart is better than McJesus....

Of course, and it goes without saying.

But he of course was presenting it as the Sabres should consider trading Eichel, which he will deny

And once Krejci retires (he is 32), we are wandering the proverbial 1C desert with some nice low-20s Bruins draft picks while the Bruins and Leafs duke it out at the top.


No thanks. Eichel is untouchable

Again, how is this post above^^ different from half of the Reinhart posts you consider “hating”?

That’s my question to you
