He's been playing through injuries this season. FL never admits it, but you can tell he's not 100%.
He started the year hurt and finally started looking more like himself and then injured something (knee?) in game @ Mtl right after the allstar break.

That makes sense to me, he is the 24 year old Kopitar in my eyes. Solid 200 ft player.

I’d like to see Reinhart play the majority of a season off of Eichel’s line/PP unit....then I think Sabres fans would be extremely open to a Hintz trade

Should’ve been 32nd. The Seattle broadcast team is already better than them.

I think part of it is that we don't see the west coast young stars often enough. I think Hintz is on the cusp of stardom, or at least very good secondary player.

But for whatever reason the current HC doesn't like him so someone really should try to steal there.

The more I think about it, it's a very intriguing idea.

I'd prefer to do it without losing a forward (especially Reinhart) but sometimes ya gotta take chances

“I would rather get a colonoscopy from Captain Hook than hear Jack Edwards announce a hockey game,” wrote a voter in Columbus in the most memorable of the many, many comments listing him as the worst play-by-play man in the NHL.

He's one of the best kept secrets in the NHL imo. If the Sabres had any kind of RW depth at all I'd have done it.

Yeah, that's the rub, isnt it.

Would you offer sheet him at 6 years at $4m?

I think that would be a 2nd round pick

I'd sign him to that but the stars aren't really hurting for space, even if the cap goes down.

Compensation would be first and a third since it's derived by dividing total value by the lesser of total contract length or 5 years.

Thanks, I knew I screwed that up.

I always forget to do the years thing. Whelp, c'est la vie, I guess

The ideal situation is to find a team who would need a defenseman and a defensive prospect

In a few years when they re write the rules on this, we'll look back on how dumb it all was and how often it was made news without it ever being a semi regular part of the off season.

So no worries if you forget, probably better off
