Hope Reinhart absolutely tears it up in Roch now so people can end the talk about him not being ready for the NHL.

I agree.

Any word on when his first game will be in Rochester? I'd love to attend.

He's playing tonight.

 

[Moskau]

Oh my god did he get rid of the shoulder tick?

 

[DazedandConfused]

He's playing tonight.

Next weekend according to Sam.

who are his line mates?

 

[TehDoak]

He's cut down on the incessant shrugging

 

[Jim Bob]

who are his line mates?

Chadd: 'He'll play on the wing because we have about 11 centers. Today he skated with Larsson and Varone. Smartest guy on the ice and makes those around him better.'

i just really hope our playoff timetable doesn't hinge on young Samsons ability to grow a beard for them

But seriously, that was a nice finish. I'm excited to hear how he does in Rochester.

Love the kid, but man is he a boring interview

I like the idea of him being on the wing. Imo TM was hinting towards this and possibly Grigorenko not having opportunities like that when he talked about some guys moving forward and some not under Nolan. Sam was clearly drafted in hopes of being a top center but, at this point, they would want to give them every opportunity to succeed as opposed to bang or bust.

In watching Kootenay games I've noticed that he tends to take the puck really wide down the left wing and look for options in the center of the ice or attacking the far post. Or take the puck to the net as in the short video linked above in this thread. It made me think similar thoughts that it would be an idea to break him in on that wing.
