Why is this surprising?

Reinhart may be one of the most underrated Sabres players I have ever seen.

Guy consistently puts up 60 points seasons on awful teams and goes about his business and takes a beating.

Oh he is also good at driving play with whomever he plays with.

Cant wait for the day this team is needing a guy like Reinhart in 3 years.

Some people ( not directing this at Pachla) have refused to accept that he drives play for a few years now despite it being pretty obvious

he hit 60 points once in his career...driving play had never been his forte...

Hes never played with guys like they have.. other than when he sits on Eichs wing. AND hes been on pace for 60 the last 3 years. To bad we don't play 82 games anymore

Friedman on in 2 minutes

Rhino goes to Columbus, LA, or Calgary

18-19 65 points
19-20 60 point pace
20-21 60 point pace


Reinhart is very very good. but i guess he doesn't try to injure players, so i could see why you wouldn't like him.

And they were still over the cap... Want me to send you a Point Jersey? maybe you can blog for Tampa

So you can excuse the Isles for knocking them back down under the cap because of it ?

Give the cup to Vegas for all I care.

I don’t think it’s fair how the Lightning circumvented the cap, and I think the Isles are benefiting from officiating and shoddy goaltending from Jarry and an injured Rask.

Both things can be correct

you're trying to pivot towards inanity...

i never said skunk was a bad player...always called him the quiet one who has gotten better every year...i even said that i see him as a part of a cup-winning team (probably not buffalo) and was laughed at

Then change the rules. I don't begrudge them one iota whatsoever. In fact, I applaud their savviness. It's the league's job (in conjunction with the Union) to shore up loopholes, not theirs.

I find it incredibly interesting, and somewhat hilarious, that Yahoo! uses a Rochester paper to cite its sources about a Buffalo mayoral election.

Buffalo basically plays in Albany.

No ones blaming the lightning for the loop hole. Just makes them scum. Scum of the Earth.

Sure they abided by rules based ethical principals.

They definitely breached principles based ethics though.

There are a lot of things that are morally wrong that are done in the world that aren’t necessarily written in law.

If that information is right, look at the pieces. High end prospects and a young top 6. You have to think the deals are similar team to team

the ny islanders are taking the greatest team since the edmonton oilers to game 7 of the eastern conference finals...

after letting their only #1 overall pick walk...and that includes drafting the likes of g. reinhart michael del colle in the top-5 and trading nino niederreiter
- Michael Pachla

Lou and Trotz

Vs.

Kim/Kevin and well, no one at this point

Also, Lou, 30+ years as an executive at the NHL level…

Kim, 10 as President in name and still learning. Adams, 1 as GM.

If that information is right, look at the pieces. High end prospects and a young top 6

If that trade was declined, then the return figures to be better.

Go get Zegras and 3 instead of Texier and 5

Yeah, that wasn't actually a bad haul.

Eklund is moving up to 3rd overall on most new drafts.
