And the Rangers got criticized heavily for that deal. So what?

We didn’t have to make it then

Can you guarantee a better return for Sam Reinhart at the TDL?

This. Show me one person who said that's the package they wanted/expected. For most, it's just rationalizing it and moving on.

Some afternoon Quinn bashing I see.

Homie can carry the flag for Jonas Johansson and then use it to bash Quinn? Now I'm interested.

No. It's just that some of us have moved on. What exactly IS the point of rehashing it?

he was a reach at 8, and not the savior for the sabres at the moment

nothing more, nothing less

Define decent. I hadn't seen one that said he was better than UPL, or Portillo for that matter.

I look at Adams' body of trade work, and what he's doing to hold out for a desired Jack return, and come to the conclusion that he's familiar with the worth of players at various stages of the year. When you're stuck (like Hall) or see a potential peak value (like Reinhart), you do what you need to do and move on.

No one needs to like it. I'd have liked to trade Reinhart for Knight or for Lundell or Denisenko, but clearly that value wasn't there. Cause if it was, I think Adams holds out for it.

Don't have to dislike the player because of where he was drafted.

I still can't believe people are pleased with the returns from reinhart and hall
- homiedclown

Who's pleased with either one. But what did Hall do for us in his play to actually get anything better. And I expected more for Rhino but that deal can't be totally graded for a few years, people wanted futures well there you go.

The body of work is very small. Had he had the opportunity to be drafted AFTER that WJC, I bet he goes in the mid rounds.

leading goalie for rochester within 5 years


if he is a decent prospect he should be able to play the majority of their games in a season

Some where saying as high as a second if he was 3 inches taller.. Who knows with goalies. Also, he wouldn't be the first person to grow at age 19. Book isn't written yet. And I will go on record as calling him "decent" I guess.

Think this is certainly plausible. Time will tell. My preference, would have been taking Wallstadt at 14, and getting Denisenko/Tippitt if that's the best we coulda done from Fla.
