He seems like a Tennyson signing tbh. Guy they move around based on injuries.

Botterill wants to improve Buffalo, and Lazar doesn't do that in any fashion.

Lazar proved me wrong. And I'm happy to see it. He had to earn it, and earn it he did.

Lazar stinks

I've grown weary of clubbing gerbe with a foam baseball bat, I would like to sit down and join this pro/anti Larry debacle you guys always go on about.
- TheSabresTaco

Within 5 years, Larry will have won 2 SHL championships and 2 Jörgen Jönsson awards and youre all going to be very sorry we lost him

Sam is a 60+ point winger when he's done it once out of 6 years

Ok then

Lazar stinks

I second this.

Lazar stinks

I agree and if he is the 13th forward fine, if he is in Rochester, fine.

Lazar stinks

Shouldn't toss a massive contract at a player That only works with one player..

And hes a 40- 50 point player with jack and has never scored past 25 goals and is going to get paid 7m + think about it
- GERBE!!!75PTS

As much as you may like Samson to be a 40pt player, he isn't. Hasn't scored less than 50pts in a year since 2016 and obviously this year was shortened.

And yes, most 25g, 50-60pt players get 6-8M. IF I'm wrong, please name more 60pt players that make less than 6M.

And Asplund sucks also

55-60, yeah. That'll be his average.

No you're right I just don't think hes worth that contract the most they should pay is 5m

Eichel used to be a 50 point center, till he wasn't.

Jesus.

Maybe I was right. Lazar stinks. Guess I'll take my original opinion back.

Stay on the "trade him" tip then, I don't think any team would start negotiations at 5m unless they wanted a quick no. Players are simply more expensive than that.

Willie Nylander is the closest comparable I can find. Is what it is.

It also helped him get that 60 pt season when Skinner was able to hit the back of the net at a pace he will never hit again.

Fact A: Players in Reinhart's caliber make more than 6M on long term deals.
Opinion A: He only deserves 5M

Interesting. So a guy develops faster so he gets an honest projection, and Reinhart is slower to develop and is unworthy of an honest projection.

Fascinating.

A lot of top lines rise and fall with their linemates.

We were just looking at Gaudreau and Monahan, I think it's similar everywhere. The more the three players can score, the more each will collectively get in points.

And for the record, I don't give a poop if we trade Reinhart if it makes our team better. Going to put that out there before I get accused of thinking he's untouchable.

Reinhart just isn't a world ender. People want that type of player for 7+, maybe Skinner's fall from grace is in the back of peoples' minds as well.

And for the record, I think he's untouchable.

I think we would see Sam's true picture if he played on the 2nd line away from Jack or if as some want play him 2nd line center and if he gets 60+ points then he would deserve the big bucks. Also, if Jack was ever injured and did not lead the PP and Sam got 60+ points then I would shut up about him forever, and I would pay everyone on here 20 bucks each but it would not happen and he would be closer to a passive Sam Bennett than not.
