Would you pay sam 7.5 x 8 years?

Nobody other then Jack or Dahlin (if he figures it out and hits his ceiling) should warrant an 8 year deal.

It's hard enough for Buffalo to attract and retain quality
players. That approach would make it worse

The stat sheet disagrees.
- TheSabresTaco


PP goals, SH goals, Primary and secondary assists all look the same on the score sheet as well.

He's payed 1 million less than Jack and has 3 goals and 2 assists in 13 games. Thank God he isn't in my fantasy league!
- GilPerreault11


You know what the cold truth is. Evander Kane and Jeff Skinner would have the exact same impact on our roster today. Whatever Jeff makes up for at 5v5, Evander would make up for on our #1 PK and PP units.

How many games have we lost this year due to special teams ? The only difference in my eyes is that one makes $2M more

I'm kinda surprised at the skinner dislike.

I get that you said he isnt worth his contract, which so far you clearly are right.

That said: what value would you out on skinner at his current 8 year deal.

Take in account the jack factor, selling tickets for exciting players ect. Ufa. Buffaluck, lack of ufas chosing buffalo

Sources say #Sabres and Sam Reinhart are closing in on a deal in the neighborhood of 8 years/$60 million. Additional sources say Pegullaville is going to lose his marbles

Playoffs would help. Jack is certainly helping. So is Ralph. That said, money talks and term increases the value of their contract

Let’s do production per dollar of cap hit.

The best teams manage their cap the best.

We have 25M tied up into crap.

Sam will soon join Skinner in the overpaid quadrant.

Every single Blues player outplayed their cap hit last year, same with the Bruins (except Backes).

- Pegullaville

Really?

Alex Steen
Jay Boumeester

They just gave a ridiculously bad contract to Justin Faulk

You can keep repeating this over and over, and it doesn't actually make it remotely true.

I've disproved the theory a billion times so I'll just leave it be at this point

Imo the answer to that is both yes and no.

Among the 30 highest played goalies, Ullmark is 8th in goals saved above average. He also sees some of the fewest high quality chances against. (4th least)

So in reality he's basically playing to the average. Good goaltender receiving very good treatment from the D in front of him.

Hutton is 13th in GSAA and receives the 2nd best XG against so your upgrade may have to come there.

The reason I would say they aren't an issue though is because you're getting exactly what you paid for with them. They make like nothing on the cap and aren't poopting the bed like Carter Hart or whatever. But the issue is the reason you pay these two so little is so you can dedicate that cap elsewhere. And so far, they've dedicated it to keeping some of the worst value players on the ice.

Can always trade for Carey Price and get some real bang for your buck

You are the hall director of this HS site, congrats!

So what I keep seeing is if you use the emoji's you are considered College. If you just make points based off of facts that aren't limited to your own point, but a vast data set, you are HS. Well color me damned, I wanna grow up.

Anyway, Reinhart hasn't been that great and didn't have a noteworthy game last night and which has been his trend, tips be damned!
