News: Samson reinhart looking to move on

[MuckOG]

The Wild will step up to the plate on this one

They better

 

[jay from jersey]

6 years and not a whiff of a playoff experience. Not even close to making it exciting coming down the wire to get in. Of course these guys want out. They feel like they are throwing their prime playing years in the dirt. I think if buffalo is smart they with get both futures heavy packages for each guy. Lots of team control and money control to offset the skinner albatross. They should just build around middlestadt, Dahlin, Cozens, Quinn, Borgren, Pekar, Samuelson( who I’m very impressed with btw) find their identity and get more kicks at the can in the next 2 drafts to draft another game breaker at FWD
They aren’t an ideal place to lure free agents but if they play these 2 trades right they could have a solid young top 9 and top 4.
In this draft they should try to get a 2nd first rounder to draft Wallstedt. Build from the net out straight up the middle. Start forming a core that cares about one another and build a solid foundation

MIN 2021 1st + Dumba + Khusnutdinov

The Sabres tire fire from 2013-15 netted them 3 very high picks in consecutive years.

Rasmus Ristolainen 8th overall in 2013

Sam Reinhart 2nd overall in 2014

and Jack Eichel 2nd overall in 2015

Now in 2021, they are just as bad if not worse, all these guys are in their mid 20's and rumored to want out.

I dont know how Sabres fans can take it. Even a playoff appearance would be a treat.

While they did net 3 pretty good players in the tank era, imagine what they could get with lottery picks in the 2021-2023 seasons. Drafting Wright, Michov/Bedard, would be much better return. That would be a Crosby/ Malkin or McDavid/ Drai combo. Then again, they'd be looking at a cup in 2030 rather than these few years.

I hope what ever team he ends up on misses the playoffs for 10 years..

Sam was a good Soldier wish him nothing but the best

 

[CanadienShark]

Please come to San Jose. He'd fit the team like a glove. He'd have every opportunity to become a top 6 centre with the Sharks, since we're unsure about Hertl or Couture's future and both guys play LW well too.

Every time he has been up for a contract it has been a nightmare with this guy the next one will be even worse than Skinner's no doubt.. He has never been happy on this team look at every single interview he has done.. So he turned it up in a contract year so what..

 

[tsujimoto74]

Should be a Bruins target 100%

You giving us McAvoy? Because otherwise not interested in giving a guy who played like a 1C down the stretch to a division rival.

You may be thinking to yourself "But he can just walk to UFA next year. That's ridiculous." And it damn well may be. That's the point.

Reinhart for laine gonna happen cause buffalo

He wanted to sign long term many times the sabres didn't It's been well documented

Canucks 1st (top 7 pick) + Podkolzin + Eriksson (cap dump)

Solid

 

[CraigsList]

Canucks 1st (top 7 pick) + Podkolzin + Eriksson (cap dump)

Great offer for Reinhart.

 

[OKR]

Canucks 1st (top 7 pick) + Podkolzin + Eriksson (cap dump)

Would absolutely do this if i was Sabres.

 

[SI90]

Jesus what a mess. That being said, I’d love Reinhart on the isles.

 

[majormajor]

Great offer for Reinhart.

It strikes me as too much if you don't have a center spot for him. So I don't think Vancouver would offer that. I think Minnesota and Columbus would be the highest bidders.

I would like Calgary to give a try as well.

If Reinhart is traded the return won't be anything like McAvoy. Let's be real here. BUF has gotten far less than market value for their big pieces.

On top of that, McAvoy's value is a good deal larger than Reinhart's.

 

[Gstank]

im sure Benning will be interested in Reinhart. He was during his draft year as well

 

[EichHart]

For all those that embrace tanking, this is what you have the possibility of ending up with. Don't do it, it's not fun.

 

[MattyW]

Bad owner, bad management, bad coaching. Need a culture change and respected hockey men coming in similar to what Lou/Trotz did for NYI.

If Reinhart is traded, it's not going to be to a division rival unless the price they pay is stupid.

"If Reinhart is traded, HF Sabres fans hope it's not going to be to a division rival unless the price they pay is stupid."

That's fine that you want a stupid return. The Buffalo front office though is the one making the trade and they've shown that they will make deals of starts and not require a stupid price for it.

You just traded a guy who is scoring at a 40 goal pace to a division rival for a 2nd rd pick.

Hall had complete control over where he went. Reinhart has none.
Not at all comparable.
