Speculation: Sam Reinhart - Next contract discussion

[KrisLetAngry]

A lot of people are throwing around crazy numbers for him and while other teams would maybe offer them, the panthers dont need to and wont. We have the tax edge, the contract length edge, the winning team edge, and the quality of life edge. That and the contract starts when he's 29. The number will start with an 8 and he'll take it. We're not paying more and he's not leaving.

Yea Florida Edge. Maybe 8.8 for you guys with a full NMC?

If taking the discount better get that NMC.

I think itll be in the low 8's.

Reinhart mix for this season.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

I think he takes a pay decrease, book it.

more fodder for the "product of the environment" side, I think. sam obviously is really good at certain things but those things happen to jive well with his teammates and team style.

I have a feeling we'll be surprised at the contract if/when he signs with us.

 

[Gurglesons]

7.5 x 8 is my call.

 

[KW]

7.5 x 8 is my call.

I agree, something like this. It’ll be a good contract for 4-5 years, hopefully 6.

 

[Chessarmy]

My guess is 8.5 x 8

 

[drktmplr12]

6.75x8 a la forsling

Keep the band together

 

[wunderpanda]

congrats on muffin getting 50 goals. i didn't think he had it in him to shoot that much, he always seemed happier to make some physics-denying pass.

 

[5 Hole]

Congrats to Sam on potting 50. I didn't think he had it in him. This is impressive!

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Crazy he has more special team goals than even strength.

27 PP goals
5 SH goals
18 ES goals

I'm thinking this season has earned him an extra 500k per year in contract negotiations.
Still think we can get him for $7.75 to $8.25 mil per.
10pts per million paid and will likely get signing bonus incentives, the 8 year term will keep the AAV low.

The secret hasn’t been shooting so much as being shot at.

 

[PatchesOhoulihan]

Still confident he stays? Hope Zito can keep the gang together

Yeah. Hes having too much fun

 

[Cats2TheCup]

If we do the big thing this season, no way he leaves that behind to turn into Huberdeau, right? I think he’d prefer to defend the big thing and take a shot at being a part of a dynasty. So let’s do that big thing.

[Great8Cam]

I mean, hey, do you guys get chills watching this?

 

[Chessarmy]

I don't put much stock in what these guys say before UFA. How many players come right out and say "yeah, I want to get the f*** out of here as soon as my contract is up to chase more money. This organization has been great to me but I'm ready to move on now."

I'll believe Reinhart when I see a CONFIRMED WITH LINK that he's resigned.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

I hope we can re-sign him but I doubt it. He should easily get $9M+

 

[KW]

Every top player wants the Cup. Most will give up a few millions to increase the chances of getting it. Or getting it again. Most realize that the top heavy Toronto model doesn’t work for postseason success. So I expect Rhino to be one of the good guys, not one of the Marners and Matthews.

yeah. zito's cultivated that, right?

if we hadn't seen Gus' deal, you would be right to be skeptical. I think he'll take a little less. the question is really whether zito feels like sam is the right guy to drop that money on now? is there a better value out there for that money in our system?

 

[I am not exposed]

Reinhart is a very good cerebral player. But I do worry about his ridiculous unsustainable shooting percentage this season. I'm very confident Zito knows about this though and if Reinhart does re-sign with us, it will be for a fair amount.
