Interesting that it is one year?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Thought Reinhart was a RW.

Thought Reinhart was a RW.

He hasn't played center in the NHL. The people behind Buffalo's twitter doesn't really watch the team since they are also employed as Sabretooth.

Why 5m? Only reached over 60 points once.

He is lol.....they must’ve looked him up on nhl 20 where half the league is wrongly positioned

 

[boredmale]

Any news how much of that salary is a bonus?

5 mill is actually a nice price for a top 6 fwd like him.

5 mill has become the new 3 mill lol

Ya, I'm surprised a team would list their own player's position wrong like that. It's pretty dumb.

Decent price for Reinhart. He should be happy. But I feel like 1 year is risky for the team.

They pretty much fired their entire PR department a couple months ago so it makes sense lol

 

[Man Bear Pig]

If he has a decent year, he's gonna get paid.

Why 5m? Only reached over 60 points once.

But then again Willy Nylander has only topped out at 61 points and got 6.9

Who knows with contracts nowadays lol

 

[Team Cozens]

Sabres keeping all the flexibility moving forward especially with Dahlin needing a new contract next year.

 

[hidek91]

Will be UFA at the year of the contract, right?

I think that's a mistake by Buffalo and they should have signed him long term.

Sure. And I make mistakes at my job, so I'm not trying to bury them or anything. Just seems like any random fan would have noticed that. I can't believe you can get a job as the front end media presence for a team without knowing that team.

Maybe. NHL is in trouble.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Does this take him straight to UFA after this deal?

Still RFA.

 

[zbubble]

I don’t think so, isn’t it 7 seasons or 27 years old? This next season will be his 6th and he’s currently only 24 years old.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

He's a decent player.
I dont think I'm crazy in saying that I expected him to become a 2 headed monster down the middle with Eichel. A semi bust in that regard; but otherwise a solid player...

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Maybe. NHL is in trouble.

Horrible time for free agents/players looking for big deals.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I don’t think so, isn’t it 7 seasons or 27 years old? This next season will be his 6th and he’s currently only 24 years old.

Oh ok thanks.. I couldnt find the info and saw an above poster said it did

 

[sandybridge]

Great low risk deal, I dont think we could have done much better, under the circumstances.

 

[A1LeafNation]

But then again Willy Nylander has only topped out at 61 points and got 6.9

Who knows with contracts nowadays lol

Yeah on pace for 70 points... And contact is 6 years.

This contract makes Nylanders deal seem like a steal.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Well that’s decent. Us Sabres fans were thinking he was gonna shoot for 7.5
