why are we moving mitts or cozens to wing?...to fit reinhart in?


how does that make sense?

Because the guy who’s probably coaching us next year thinks Reinhart is a full time center (and I agree)

It’s the SHL and he’s young.

Not high scoring league and younger guys don’t get a ton of ice time.

I haven’t looked it up so I could be wrong on the ice time part

I guess. Raymond didn't have excellent numbers either. And wouldn't be upset. Prefer one of the other 3 forwards ahead of him

It doesn't to me either, but The Don did offer his thoughts on it

Valid question, no offence taken.

Reinhart has been effective in the middle and by the sounds of it they want to keep him there.

He’s also our best defensive forward so keeping him there and matching him up against other teams top lines makes sense.

We went from having no centers to an abundance of them, it’s the best problem (if you want to call it that) to have.

Well that sucks. Probably why he wasn't gangbusters from the get-go. Hopefully the surgery is a success and he has an incredible season for us next year. Wouldn't that be refreshing ?

Why does our stars and prospects seem like they need a lot of surgeries.

Honestly it depends on the long term status of both Eichel and Sam. If both are gone I take Beniers due to the importance of the C position.

I personally think Eklund and Guenther have higher ceilings than Beniers and would like to grab one of them though.

Defense coming up is pretty stong but to be fair we don't have a number 2 to go with Dahlin. No one projects to that position.

Trade Reinhart for a top 2 defender or at least the best defenseman we can get for him and trade risto for a top 6 to fill the gap


Thats how I feel. Johnson, Samuelsson, Laaksonen, Bryson and Borgen are all nice pieces but none are going to fill that number 2 spot.

ahhh...the skunk whisperer...

he may be right...however, i don't think having him on either of the kids lines would do them much good...in fact, i think it would slow them down...

but, it's not my team

If you posted their RAPM charts side by side and removed the names you wouldn’t know the difference.

St. Louis with Parayko and Pietrangelo
Dallas with Klingberg and Heiskenen

There is 7 or 8 teams with two high end skilled defenders.

a lot of people who've watched a lot of seth jones in action think he's one of the better d-men in the game

Could be the same with Sam its a pretty equal trade

Petro plays for Vegas, so scratch Stl.

I would be happy if he could get us a 20 goal scorer with a bit of toughness. Someone like Ritchie on the bruins but I think he could get us a better player than him.

I like Ritchie's game but I think Risto can get a better player

Fvck when did that happen? Guess I haven't paid attention to much more than the sabres since covid and only playing in the division.

If we're talking True top pairing, I would say your looking at the top 30 Dmen. Probably a handful of teams have 2. Some have none. If you expand to top 60, I think every team has at least one, some with 3. It’s all in how ya individuals define it
