Player Discussion Sam Reinhart - Is he the real deal?

[Myllz]

If only you were right...

We would actually have had two top lines instead of one these past few seasons.

Hop off Sam’s dick long enough to realize he’s become a passenger player, especially this season.

How much playing time have Eichel and Reinhart had away from each other when both healthy and in the line-up this season?

Somehow Sam's fault tho

I've always like Reinhart's skills (esp. the pin-point passing) but he has stagnated over the years. Weiland was right: "Reinhart is slow … average." He isn't producing anywhere near a #2 overall draft choice. Plus ever since he got here all the team has done is lose. He's got to be down in the dumps about how things have worked out here and it must be influencing his inconsistent play. I'd be open to trading Reinhart if it wasn't for the idiot doing the trading, Botterill, who make a checkmate out of any roster move.

You need to not care about whether he was a #2 overall choice or not. That has nothing to do with his status on the team moving forward. Salary and his next contract, however, matter a ton.

It's nice seeing Sam on the ice

The interesting take from this is that many pro scouts and execs have said that the 2 things that are easiest to improve in a player are strength and skating. We have seen this in some players but I have not seen an improvement in Sam's skating-and that is all he needs to go to the next level.

Skating and motivation

Skating and motivation

Sam doesn't have a motivation issue.

And his skating is as much of an issue as ROR's skating was.

 

[JLewyB]

Something is stopping him from playing center though. Is it strength then? Does he wear out if he needed to get into the dirty areas more often? Or is it his skating? I don’t know but something is missing....

Could it possibly be the coaches never playing him as a center?

And the few time he did, he had brutal wingers and the line didn't look good.

Sam definitely has a motivation issue and ROR made up for his lack of skating with his motivation... all over the puck all the time

This is my favorite current Sabre. As much as I love Jack, Sam just embodies the team.

You must mean misplaced hope, and always leaving you wanting more.

He's good on the wall and he's put up positive defensive metrics. He's not Draisaitl, but we have who we have. He's a consistent solid plug and play forward. You can do worse. If you can get better than him do it, but he's a solid player on the PP and at even strength.

My comment was tongue in cheek, a bit of sarcasm. I don't mind Reinhart, he's a decent player that unfortunately doesn't excel in any area, but is a good complementary player.

When he was a center, he had no one to work with and his offence went dead.

I know you meant that in a positive way, but is it really a good thing to embody this team?
