It's an opinion based on his peers' FA contracts. Guys like him got paid a M less, and guys better than him got his 2M

I also don't rate guys based on goals alone. It's a part of it, but there's a lot of other factors that make a player "good". He's "good" at defending. His purpose is not goal scoring, so it's not a quality I rate in a player like him. His purpose is aggressive forechecking and limiting chances vs the opposition, which he does quite well. At least, he did, with OG Larry.

Player comparables: Johan Larsson, 1.4M, 6G 18 PTS
Derek Grant, 1.5M, 15G, 25 PTS
Kyle Turris, 1.65M, 9G 31 PTS

Krueger had 1st hand knowledge of girgs and Larsson.
Almost a whole season of coaching these guys.

I trust his decisions on both players.

I liked larsson, more than most. Suprisingly, he left for alot less $ than I expected.
But he signed for very little $ with the worst team in the league? Ufa status for his first time ever. So what does that tell you? He wasnt good enough for ralph.

This has been missing for years and needs to finally get addressed. I think you overshadow intangibles.

Intangibles, being a good teammate , working hard still every shift, after almost 500 nhl games in a terrible organization . Still be committed to turning around THIS team. In THIS city.

Props to 28

I am not sure anyone "loves" reinhart

I only point out the good things due to the constant bashing he gets from half the board

he isn't a top 20 sabre for players I like all time, not even close

but he is a sabre, and I root for my team

I think his 2 way game is under appreciated, his chemistry with eichel is assumed by most could be replaced with anyone

the chemistry he has with jack is impressive to watch and saw nothing like that with jack and olofsson

if he was picked 32nd overall instead of 2nd, the bashing would be reduced


some people are butt hurt because Murray didn't pick Leon

nothing more
nothing less

This is a huge cop out. You love sam, you are the biggest sammer on the planet. Probably more than his own family.

You will forever be linked arm and arm for eternity.

Just because you see the writing on the wall, your backsteping already. πŸ˜€

You bash as many players and management as anyone on here . I root for my team .......😟

I love how the reinhart bashers say sam is never more then a 50 point player

in his entire NHL career, .6375 points per game, times 82 is 52.3 points


in his last 180 games, 145 points which is .8055 points per game and times that by 82 is 66 points per season


easily a top 6 player on any current nhl roster

- homiedclown


With Eichel...
what are his stats without 9 ?
Can he play Center ?
Can he drive his own line on the wing ?
I don’t hate him, never bashed him, but he is only as good as Jack makes him IMO

Good point sir.

Unfortunately at this point it’s a mistake when he gets it right.

That’s how infrequent his successes are.

However he gets the last laugh as he makes money off of us posting on his website.

Why he keeps Sabres blogs open so long, he knows he will get atleast 1000 hits almost every blog.

That’s why I laugh when the Mods come in here and threaten us when the convo strays.

Without the Sabres blog this guys website is done for.

Ouch.

All I remember besides the smell of the locker rooms is that my mom wouldn't let me drink the water out of the water fountains because she thought it was radioactive

Yeah, back in the 80's was a pretty smelly hole. Played a lot of floor hockey there, and a lot of softball. Actually not bad there know.
