Jack is having his best season, by far, and has the same RW for the entire season


for the haters




- homiedclown

And that same RW would be a 30-40 point player without him and can't score unless Eichel is scoring. Reinhart is THE definition of riding the coat-tails.

Because we dont have any RWs in the system, unless you're a fan of the tallman or if Cozens is a RW instead of a center, but that presents its own problems with the lineup.

Our 2nd best RW is Okposo

- jcragcrumple



I get what your saying, but an 8 year extension?

Might we possibly find another 60 point rw1 to play with a top center in the league?

Olo is a rookie doing it for minimum on the left side?

My whole point has always been :

Sam doesn't score when we really need to and
Sam is riding eichels coattails

Tell me the last 7 games don't suggest both

I can read his stats on a paper a see where he statistically ranks vs. Other players in the nhl.

Circumstances- play a role

I always wondered why Leon Draisaitl's numbers were always said to be inflated, until recently, because of McDavid but Reinhart never got that burden about riding Jack's coattails?

Should have read this and quoted but you're spewing a lot of non-sense lately so it was easy to overlook this post.

Well the choice now is to pay him or search the wilderness for a RW to play with Eichel which isnt as easy to find as people think. Considering the overall talent level of the team is somewhere between bad and mediocre currently, they're probably going to need to pay him so we dont go from bad to abysmal

The "Reinhart is a good RW for Jack and will put up 60+ on his wing for the next 7 seasons" camp is literally just as bad as the "Skinner's contract sucks" camp.

Reinhart plays with Eichel basically joined at the hip and STILL CANNOT CRACK A .PPG.

Meanwhile, Skinner puts up 40 goals the second he plays with Eichel, gets buried the next year playing with Larsson, Sobotka, Frolik and the glorified AHL crew, and people want to run him out of town.

How do you think Skinner feels while that lame-d!ck Reinhart coasts on Jack's RW while he signed a contract to PLAY AND SCORE GOALS WITH ONE OF THE TOP-10 CENTERS IN THE NHL and is basically not allowed to because "he doesn't practice hard" which is such honest to goodness bull-sh!t, I would have fired Botteril and Freddy the second this sh!t splattered on the floor.

The Reinhart defenders are honestly worse than the Skinner critics. It's absolutely laughable people defend Reinhart the way they do - Skinner is a proven 30-goal scoring winger and he did that playing with mediocre centers his whole career and turns into a 40-goal scorer when playing with actual talent, yet Reinhart couldn't even get past his 9-game tryout in his first season, and can hardly score 20 a year on Eichel's wing, absolutely 100% cannot drive his own line, sucks at faceoffs, has the brains but not the athleticism...

Yet he deserves 8 million dollars for doing less than or equal to what Skinner did in terms of overall points...

We don't deserve nice things, this fanbase.

People assume though we’d be dealing him for a 7th round pick not using him to try to upgrade down the middle so it’s a moot point

So what's the solution? Wanna trade him for a pair of 2nds and a prospect? A late first and a prospect if we're lucky? We can continue the rebuild ad infinitum.

Or do you accept his limitations and keep him because he is a consistent 25ish goal guy who helps get Eichel to 100 points

Had nothing to do with Ennis specifically. My overall argument is wingers can be replaced and acquired quite frequently and produce if they have a good Center. I was hoping to buy low On Burakovsky for a while and had Donskoi as a FA target of ours this offseason.
- Pegullaville


Ennis’ goals per salary is better than Eichel’s....
Not even close

That’s how bad your argument was comparing him to others & their salaries

Is Olofsson lighting it up the last 7games?

Plus,

If sam is a great as you think, we should get an equally great player in return.

Why does it have to 2 2nds?

How about sam + for an upgraded 1rw

That “+” would have to be pretty major if Sam is as bad as YOU think

I'm just making a point. A 60 point RW is nothing to sneeze at. Neither is a 40-goal LW. They should be Jack's wingers almost exclusively. Olofsson has been exposedx on the 1st line this year - He is a PP specialist and should be playing in the middle-6. At 24, he is what he is, he is done developing. He needs to be utilized correctly, like any player...

I "like" Reinhart. I think he's a good player. I don't like his style or his demeanor but he is a good player - Not what we wanted but something we need. He is Eichel's Kunitz but the same age, so, that's good.

But I honestly think moving him and Ristolainen together for an elite player would help this team more than them both being here.

If Reinhart could put up the same numbers and be the Center we drafted him to be, he would be a perfect 2nd line center. But he blows at faceoffs and lacks the speed to drive his own line. So we have to be happy with what we have - and Reinhart might have a career year or two that are nice on paper but we needed more and I think he is the player he is at this point.

Exactly.

Dont pay olloffson 7 million for riding Jack's jock either

Eichel is hurt, you'll get a much larger sample size soon enough.

4 games with eichel hurt , 3 shots no points

What's the most recent example of someone trading an established #1RW + for a better, established #1RW?

They could probably trade him for a good 2nd pairing defenseman, but we have 4 of those. So do you want picks and prospects or a defenseman?

Idk, I'll take "the devil I know"

- jdfitz77

In all honesty, aside from the RW spot on the PP, has Olofsson lit it up at all this season? He has 8 goals and 15 assists while not playing with the man-advantage.

Those numbers sound and look familiar... Oh right, Skinner's numbers off the 1st-unit Power-Play. Except those are better. All of Skinner's goals are EVEN STRENGTH this season. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for him to NOT be on Eichel's line. It's unacceptable.

Samson Reinhart will be the worst 70 point player ever one day.

For now, he's tied with Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin in points. right ahead of Giroux, Larkin, Oshie and Monahan.

But he STINKS! Worst ever! Jack is banking his goals in off his shin guards!

GTFOH

This fanbase doesn't deserve good things because we repeatedly female dog about the only good players we have on this team. Let's talk more about how we need to resign Lazar and Girgs please, this is really great stuff.

What “good” top 6 forward is replacing Sam?

Our gm can’t even get a 2C via trade. So adding another top 6 right winger to that list would be a bad idea

We don’t agree often Beady,
but I’m with ya here

It was reasonable for Kruger to try Skinner on line2 to spread out the scoring
But it just hasn’t worked since the first 2weeks of the season
And he absolutely should’ve been put back on line1 with Jack
