He is a good player, but I get his point to an extent. I think Reinhart ends up getting more than he's worth either here or elsewhere. He's the exact type of player that bad teams overpay for in Free Agency. If the Sabres were to sell high on him, I don't see myself losing sleep. That doesn't mean that I want him traded tomorrow or just given away, but you can, I think, make up his production with a savvy enough trade.

Nice post 19.

Upgrade sam to a real top linemate. Someone with a scoring touch.

Completely invisible today.

Basically a complementary player.

You’re that worried about how he looked in a game we won 7-1 ?

Sam is a proven good player in this league
YOU don’t like him... that’s fine
But you’re being overly critical of him

I’d pay him in the neighborhood of 6x6

Problem is, I'm pretty sure that's too low.

Good fitz

- buffalofan19

That's my whole premise.

Posters thinking sam is a 8 x8 guy.

Sure, pay sam good $ for good play

Not even close to being a star or consistent game changer.

Watch him dump the puck in, then get outhustled and out battled 9/10 times behind the net

1 goal in the last 11 games.

Playing full time with eichel and #1 pp minutes.
He even starts in ot with eichel.

Not just tonight, the last 11 games.

Sweden was great. Since, average at best.

Eichel is ripping it up despite sam

Problem is, I'm pretty sure that's too low.
- buffalofan19

Could be
Salaries kinda took a leap forward last year or 2

7ish isn’t out of the question
And for a 25goal, 60point player...
that’s not outlandish by today’s standards

Is it me or was John Gurtler an underrated play by play announcer? One thing is certain, nobody could call out a “First down Buffalo” at Rich Stadium like that guy.
- Hatboro_Swords

I thought he was terrible. I still remember a newspaper article that correctly described him as dry toast...

We have one top end player.

Depending on the week you can flip flop Sam and Skinner on who the second best forward is on this team. They are both top 6 forwards on any roster in the NHL.

Eichel, Dahlin, Cozens, Joker, 1st rounder this year would be my only untouchables.

If Eichel is gonna be your comparison,
we shouldn’t pay to keep anyone

U wanna use an 11game sample size,
but I’ll point to his overall career
He’s a proven 25ish goal scorer

There’s only 2 other guys on this team we can say that about

U wanna trade him for a 30+ scorer?
Ok, I’ll listen to that
But that guy is also gonna cost, and likely have some kind of issues if he’s available

I would think his comparable would be the Nylander deal. So yea accounting for inflation probably looking at anywhere between $7-$7.5M

24+ hours ago, 3ER only one talking about possibility of Bills winning the division if Texans beat the Pats. Archive doesn’t lie. Now that it happened, everyone thinking about it. Always ahead of the crowd. If it happens, it most likely means Texans and Ravens on Bills 2020 schedule vs. Titans and Stillers. That’s tough and have to prove you now belong with the Class of the Conference. Yinz will be talking about it tomorrow.

- Pegullaville

Sounds about right to me

If Sam is traded,
I’d be looking for a heck of a player in return

Not every good player leaps out at you
It’s ok to not be spectacular

What do u & GMTM talk about when you skype?

Do u have a link where u heard a team was given permission to talk with Hall?
- jdfitz77

Just a rumor, and it was right here on Hockeybuzz, from EK, that's why I asked 89, trust him more than EK

Don’t believe anything EK says

It wouldn’t even make sense for Jersey to let anyone talk to Hall at this stage unless they were blown away with an offer

When are u gonna come out with what your relationship to GMTM was/is?
- jdfitz77

They were lovers. Passionate lovers.

If you're paying a player above $7 million, he had better be spectacular at something.

Oloffson is better than sam.
179 picks later.

Trade Reinhart plus for a top 6 contract with 3,4 left in the 5-6.5 range. top winger for Eichel. 2 C will be Cozens soon enough and Mitts can be also moved to wing then

Good post:

3 for 16
4 for 22

5.5-5.75 and it's a reasonable contract.

He was drafted to be a center. Failed miserably.
Now he coasts with eich daddy.
- Boss34

Funny that the people who really like him also don't want to pay him close to what he'll be asking. Anyone suggesting 6m'ish has concerns about him as well. I've never heard anyone suggest a Skinner-like deal.

AFC north at home
2nd place Bill's
2nd place Pittsburgh or Cleveland at buffalo
Most likely the steelers

AFC south on the road
Bill's at Tennessee
Bill's at colts
Most likely at titans.

3ER suggesting the Bill's win the division?

Sounds about right to me

Hall?

- jdfitz77

I know, that's why I asked 89 if he had heard anything, he brought up Hall's name earlier

Oloffson is better than sam.

IF this is true...
it’s a good thing, not a bad one!

27games is too soon to say

Sam is a good player

I didn't hear that but it doesn't mean it wasn't us or wasn't mentioned, I know they have talked 3 times.
