First off I'm not making any argument about Reinhart to you. Simply pointing out that you are uninformed when it comes to the Sabres. Reinhart has produced away from Eichel, he played some of the best hockey of his career when Eichel was injured this season. It wasn't a huge sample size and I never said it was, nor did I say a half season was a large sample size, but anyone using 14 minutes of a guy who isnt even an NHL'er in net to make some sort of point about sample size is clearly just trolling. Reinhart has to carry that momentum from the last half into next season and show he can do it for a full season. Also, I could give two ****s how a player scores his goals. They all count the same at the end of the day. Reinhart has 48 career points on the PP and 140 points total thus far in his career. I wouldn't label that as a PP specialist, but again, I think your comment is just meant to troll and not actually contribute anything useful to the conversation which appears to be your m.o. Find somewhere else to spew your nonsense this isn't even a thread about Reinhart.
I brought up the accountant goalie to show you that using sample sizes is not a good way to determine a player's value. Anyone can have a good first half, there's a reason why the Awards are given out at the end of the season. Consistency goes a long way in separating the stars from the streaky players.
And saying you don't care how a player scores their goals further demonstrates your lack of hockey knowledge. A player that scores a bulk of their goals on the PP has a higher chance of regression. What happens if your PP isn't as good next year? What happens if they get a new coach that decides to roll two PP lines, or if Reinhart loses some PP ice team?
Funny how you're automatically labelled a troll just because you don't value Reinhart as highly as the Buffalo homers. I didn't even bring up Reinhart, in fact I replied to someone who did thus my comment is warranted.
The only one that seems to be trolling is you, I'm trying to have a discussion and you're just taking the easy way out accusing others of trolling when in fact it's you that's not contributing to this thread.
It seems like only Sabres fans feel Reinhart/Hanifin is a fair swap, while neutral fans are saying Hanifin is worth more. I guess according to you it makes more sense that we're all trolls rather than Buffalo fans having a hometowm bias.
