Uhhhhh

Guaranteed clicks.

 

[Chainshot]

Also just noticed the press release says CENTER Sam Reinhart.

Just do it.

They called Gus a center in his press release too.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Now resign Kahun.

Hall - Eichel - Olofsson
Skinner - Staal - Cozens
Kahun? - Reinhart - Thompson

Sam is not a center. We've established this over the last 6 seasons!

 

[Sabre Dance]

They called Gus a center in his press release too.

Don't take this away from me.

 

[Jacob582]

I'm glad this didn't go to arbitration. I hear that process can be brutal for players.

 

[Aladyyn]

As good as it gets. Props to Adams.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Perfect. Glad they didn't commit long term to him right away making extending Hall impossible. Let's be real here, at the end of the day 99% of people would be committing long term to Taylor Hall, not Sam Reinhart. Even with the 3 and a half year age difference.

 

[Chainshot]

Don't take this away from me.

No worries.

 

[Fezzy126]

Good.

 

[valet]

Good deal, sets us up well considering the circumstances. Still under team control and doesn't stress the cap more than it should.

 

[Montag DP]

Sounds good to me, though I'm a little disappointed he didn't make us regret that last two-year deal like so many people here said he would.

 

[Buffaloed]

Adams is killing it

 

[tsujimoto74]

1-year makes sense given the circumstances. I doubt Reinhart (or many other players) are interested in signing long-term deals at a time when spending is down and the cap is flat. For the Sabres, he's still an RFA, and we'll have good cap flexibility next summer.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Adams is killing it

Agreed.

Kevyn vs his To Do List

Great to see your Team being competently Managed.

Like many, I had my doubts about the hire & the extensive reductions in staffing, but it’s sure looking great so far.

 

[Buffaloed]

Rino gave the Sabres a big discount.
Sabres sign forward Sam Reinhart to one-year contract worth $5.2 million
Given Reinhart’s production, and contracts signed by comparable players, he should account for approximately 8% of the Sabres’ salary cap, or $6.52 million.

 

[Zman5778]

Rino gave the Sabres a big discount.

And not just that, he's still RFA after this deal.

So even if we choose Hall over Reinhart, he's still gonna have a TON of trade value on the market.

And not just that, he's still RFA after this deal.

So even if we choose Hall over Reinhart, he's still gonna have a TON of trade value on the market.

That should be RoR circa 2015 trade value. RoR had 1 season left before UFA and still returned at the time a high end top D prospect, a top 2 way C prospect, the first pick in round 2 and a boom bust in Grigs.

I would he happy with a return like this plus a Hall 6 year deal.

How PTSD am I to have read that as

"Great to see your Team being completely Mangled."

 

[Tatre]

Glad to have Sam still. I don't see his spot as competing with Hall; there's no way Hall is staying around.

[WeDislikeEich]

Glad it wasn’t a 2yr deal. I was worried about them walking him right to UFA.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Why not?

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Adams is smart. This was a good move/term/amt. etc..
Now get Linus signed........

 

[buffalowing88]

Good deal. Glad he's back. Even more glad he's a RFA next year.

Love me some Sammy.

Yep, my sentiments exactly. Nothing bad to say about this. Hope he is a part of the long term plans.

 

[Kublakhan]

He lives and is from Toronto so he might stay,I just hope we get a better "hometown" contract than Skinners..
