Point pace means nothing if he is always hurt.

And yes, I am looking at point totals, games played, and goals.

He’s not worth 5.8 million.
- Sabretooth9

Over the last 3 years:

188 games played
39 Goals
83 Assists
122 Points

.65 PPG

Knock will be a good chunk of those came on the PP

Seriously? You have being saying keep 8 because of the centers. Now you want a d man.

Lol. What in the world.
- Sabretooth9

I'm pretty sure I'm record that I wanted drysdale if he was available and sanderson would be our suter ..

These 2 D are very very good ..

But i still see us going O in the draft

This is absolutely NOT the case.

He's played full seasons every year except one
- Powerslave

I am sorry. I messed up. They split the hawks and coyotes season when he got traded.

My bad

Funny reading all these complaints on Schmaltz about his contract. But people on here are willing to go 7 to 7.5m for Rhino. And he plays with a elite Center
- Buff36

Maybe they trade sam then

The bigger concern for everyone seems to be the contract and his EV strength play.

Funny because Ellers on the 3rd line was a huge reason why Washington was able to plan a parade
- Mentalorgasm5

But we're not talking about Ellers. And it was mostly a joke because of the amount of butthurt around here that we didn't pick him up.

9er...
His 1st year he played 80 games between NHL, AHL and WC. He was injured looks like the trade year in which he played 40 games due to knee injury. This season he had a head injury and missed the Play-in and Playoffs...so 7sh games ?

Edit: late.
But he did have injury time in 2 of 4 seasons

He admitted his mistake.

He went to box.

Felt shame.

1 gets hurt

1 is a top 60 winger in the nhl over the last 4 years and never gets hurt

Idk if you're looking at the wrong numbers. 50 points or 50 point paces for 5.85 is pretty standard these days.

Is that worth the $7.5M-$8.5M he is going to make in actual salary the last 3 seasons of his deal?

If it's not, how would ever get out of that deal?

His two best point production seasons found him scoring 28% of those points on the power play. Is he getting preferred power play time on the Sabres? Doubtful.

Further, he received 72% offensive zone starts the past 2 seasons.

He got preferred zone starts to produce the 35 even strength points he did this past season.

Not great Bob as the saying goes.

He admitted his mistake.

He went to box.

Felt shame.

and then he got free

1 does not get hurt. 1 had ONE significant injury. It's a non-factor.

Maybe they trade sam then
- GERBE!!!75PTS

why, so tage can be rw on the top line?

opinions vary


people pile on reinhart, but the fact is he produces

this team to add players that produce, not subtract

Yeah, but Rhino is our Schmutz, I mean putz who if you don't remember was picked #2 overall which he will carry with him to his grave.

remember when all star girgens put up 30 points in 60 games and we all thought he would be that second line player when we got good?

remember when Sam Reinhart was a 50 point player these past 2 seasons? And that without Eichel he's nothing?

I member.

I love how people constantly bring up where sam was drafted


the hockey hall of fame does not care where you were picked
the stanley cup does not care
the all star teams dont care
the record books don't care



only in buffalo does it matter


sure the sabres picked some turds over the years in the first round, a lot of them


but skunk ain't one

the kid stays healthy and produces


it's pointless to be butt hurt because murray picked sam over leon


and honestly, the only other player he was looking at was bennett, not leon

not leon
- homiedclown

I really get tired, rowing against the rivers of tears crying about him not being Leon.

we could have picked another David Cooper or Joel Savage (Dal Colle)

Who has had the luxury of playing with a elite center. I am not calling for Schmaltz, but put him on Eichel's wing and you probably see the same numbers as Rhino. Players get hurt, but I can't say Schmaltz is injury prone.

why, so tage can be rw on the top line?

It would be the lean way...

I don’t hate that idea. I just wish he didn’t get hurt. Tag hit the gym hard last summer and then had a good season in roch.

Got hurt here in buffalo on the 4th line his 1 game here

We never saw what he could do at the nhl level post summer beast mode
