Im not asking to go back in time.

When being the 2nd overall pick is brought up as the reason 60pt seasons arent good enough then its reasonable to compare, and desire more out of your 2nd overall pick

Not here it isn’t.

Just more excuses and complaining about hindsight.

but that doesn't change what we have now


what we have now is eichel, skinner and sam up front
dahlin and joker on the back end


oilers have mcdavid and leon


bringing it up every day does not change that fact

Reinhart barely cracks 50pts without eichel, is that a redeeming quality in a 2nd overall pick?

Or we can just accept that he is who he is, that he's a good hockey player, and that he set a career high in points last season and is only going to get better.

I think he needs to be tied to eichels hip to be good

Otherwise average across the board

35 points in last 40 games of 17-18
65 points in 82 games last season
20 points in 28 games this season


120 in last 150 games

and I had lockport education


but go on

- homiedclown

If you want to add that way, ok l agree, but the first 40games of the 17-18 season don't count. So you are right in that aspect, I was counting whole seasons, which he has 135pts in 192gms. We don't count the time's he disappears for 10 game streches

So now we are comparing the success rate of a 2nd overall pick to a 4th round pick?

What are you going to do?

I mean, for (frank)'s sake.

It's not settling for anything.

HE IS WHO HE IS.

You have some magic (frank)ing wand to change him into something he's not, Harry Potter?

I am asking a question

the jersey says reinhart on the back not reinhart#2overallfrom2014



if he was a 4th round pick, would you view him different


I mean it's not like he is bennett or dal colle

the kid is one of the ten best sabres over the last 15 years, and people are banging on him daily

again he has 120 points in the last 150 games which is better production then vanek had once he got paid

Well the Sabres haven’t been good since 2006 so that’s not saying much.

- homiedclown

Were not talking about Eichel, and If we were and he was disappearing like Rhino and Skinner has over the last 10 or12 games, I would want more out of him. Rhino has like 3 point in the last 10gms or something, and that's because Jack has been on a tear

Don't think anyone said Skinner sucks, what is wrong for wanting more from a player. I have a pretty good job, get paid decent money to produce and make money for my Company. I have seen a lot of people come and go. If I stopped producing at the rate my company expected they would let me go in a second. I don't want Skinner gone, think he is a good player, just want more out of him for the money he's making.
- Buff36


So if Botts gave him $18m, you would want 130 pts from Skinner, or say he is about $10m overpaid?
Production of a specific player does not increase commensurate with pay. Law of Diminishing Returns.

For the first time in a long time I can say I trust them filling needs,
The TE may be hard for them to do since they drafted 2 and have Kroft but im not a fan of all 3 really. Yes Knox is doing well but not the complete player id like him to be

- hubie


He’s a rookie
We are set at TE moving forward with Knox & Sweeny imo

In all seriousness, wasn't Hornqvist's name mentioned?
