a few quick takes from what I heard

1 no truth to the benn rumor
2. talks with wild in case they become sellers, heard coyle
3. they are probably done with nylander, expect him moved in the off season
4. still focused on being sellers aside from skinner
5. if they can't move a few certain guys at the deadline, expect them to not be offered contracts this summer (larsson, girgens, beaulieu
6. the goal is to get 1 or 2 difference makers and 1 or 2 other pieces this offseason
don't be shocked if a few are under the radar signings, euro free agents
7. o regan may very well be the next call up
the main off season goal is to get 1 center, a top 6 winger, a 3rd line winger and the best d man they can get (top 4)

they feel good the skinner deal will get done

Thanks Homie, good stuff. I didn't think the Benn rumor had legs. He has a NMC and highly doubtful he would waive. With Koivu hurt, not so sure Minny would move Coyle. Sounds like Botts will be busy this deadline season and the off season if they are looking for all of that.

If Skinner isn’t signed by 2pm on deadline day he should be 100% moved. No excuses.

So the Leafs won tonight and got outshot by 14 at home to Ottawa I'm not sure that's a recipe for success

I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that Jake Muzzin didn't fix their defense

Center- Duchene, Hayes
top 6 winger- Nyquist, Dzingel, Toffoli
3rd line winger- Donskoi, Kempe
Dmen- EK (pipe dream I know)

Thank you sir...GREAT update!
I do appreciate the info.

3-unfortunate that a 8th OA has to be dealt to recoup some sort of value. That is a huge miss.
4 & 5 - perfect. I think Lockport Larry is the on.y one I'd consider, and it would be for under $1M...I would not qualify him.
6 - the right strategy IMO
7 - kinda shocking in that he has been under the radar as far as any media attention.

Sam Reinhart has played in 15 games this season where he spent three minutes or less at 5 on 5 with Eichel. In those 15 games, Reinhart has four goals and nine points at 5 on 5. According to Natural Stat Trick, he has a slightly better 5 on 5 Corsi for percentage (50.69 vs 50.37) away from Eichel.

The story is the same for parts of last season. We all remember when Reinhart got hot once the calendar flipped to 2018 during the 2017-18 campaign. He played 22 games post-January 1, 2018 without Eichel and registered 18 points at 5 on 5 over that stretch. Reinhart only played 236:22 total with Eichel last season (838:48 without) at 5 on 5 according to Natural Stat Trick.

He had a better CF% of 52.00 away from Eichel, had a higher SCF%, and HDCF% as well.

Overall Reinhart has 33 even strength points in 66 games over the last two seasons when he has played less than five minutes with Eichel at 5 on 5.

Meaning without Eichel, he’s played at a 41 even strength points per 82 games pace. When you add in his career average of 16 power play points per 82 games, that makes him a 57 points per 82 games winger over the last two seasons without Eichel.

The longer it goes tells me the max 8 year deal is getting done.
..he can't sign the max term deal until AFTER the TDL ... so don't shig the bed at 2:00pm if nothing is done.
I don't want that term, but him and Jack have chemistry that is undeniable.
If 8 years, then $7.5m would be my target ( goes against convention, but less for longer term since he gets the security for longer)
I would pay a little more to exclude any NMC/NTC as I hate them.

Huh. I thought Sam’s entire career owed itself to riding Jack’s coattails.

It’s a forum that allows people to post discussion threads and allows people to comment on it. Think of how we communicate in the comment section of these blogs but instead of Pach’s Sabres blogs people can post and comment on anything. Its usually how I watch most of the Sabres games as people post threads with links to the games as I am out of the viewing area unless it’s broadcasted nationally or Sportsnet Ontario picks it up.
- Pegullaville

Can you provide this dumbass (namely me) with instructions on how to view the games on Reddit ? Do I need an account ? Whenever I try to view I just get caught up in the usual ad’s and never get to a link.

I'm not the kind of guy who's actually going to review the stats, but when i read it more carefully there is a potential for that article to be very misleading.

"The story is the same for parts of last season." If they are disregarding the first part of the season last year where Sam struggled the entire time, that's not appropriate. But later in the article, it says "Overall Reinhart has 33 even strength points in 66 games over the last two seasons when he has played less than five minutes with Eichel at 5 on 5." So if the overall takes all of last season into account, it feel like a very informative analysis.

And makes the bridge deal an even better coup for his agent.
