News: Samson reinhart looking to move on

[tsujimoto74]

Hear me out.

We trade Eriksson, Roussel, Beagle, Virtanen and Holtby for Eichel, Ristolainen and Reinhart, all at max retention. Dahlin, McCabe, Middelstadt, Cozens and Ukko-Pekka are part of the deal as well. Any other players or prospects of note would be included as well.

We rebrand as the Vancouffalo Sabnucks, and we play alternating years in Vancouver and in Buffalo.

We win all the cups from here on, the playoffs will merely be a format to see who we crush.

Any player not pulling their weight, or simply not worth their cap hit, get traded to the Buffouver Canbers, who are farmed for lottery win draft picks.

You son of a bitch, I'm in

 

[Satire]

You son of a bitch, I'm in

Well if he's in, I'm in.

 

[Martyros]

Kings will trade Austin Wagner and a 4th for Eichel, RR, Reinhart, Dahlin. it's a win-win.

 

[Soundwave]

Max Domi for Sam Reinhart?

what a DISASTER this is becoming for Buffalo

 

[flying v 604]

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.

Agreed. Arguably it solves our 3c spot with Horvat sliding down but Podz is worth betting on for the need he potentially fills. Plus all depends who is available when we pick. A high-end RHD is the #1 need on this team.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Max Domi for Sam Reinhart?

Am substantially worse player who's also a UFA after next season one-for-one? How could the Sabres say no?

 

[Cogburn]

You son of a bitch, I'm in

Long live the Vancouffalo Sabnucks.

Or the Vancouffalo 70's, after the year we all joined the league.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Eichel, Ristolainen and Reinhart all wanting out of Buffalo, Man that team is a major mess.

 

[krt88nc]

Reinhart too? This is disastrous for Sabres fans.

as a Sabres fan, the ownership group did this too themselves.

worst franchise in American professional sports and urs not even close.

 

[SML2]

Maybe all these guys leaving will be a blessing in disguise. Something is rotten in buffalo and has been for a number of years. Getting rid of this core and starting fresh is going to absolutely suck for the fans, and ownership but you cant keep trying with the same core if it isn't working. Blow it up.

Unfortunately the rotten part doesn't seem to be tradeable.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Reinhart too? This is disastrous for Sabres fans.

The writing was on the wall when they signed Hall. I talked about this last off-season, that if the Sabres were to fail, there's no way these guys have any hope remaining that this is going to work in Buffalo.

They can't possibly top the Hall signing with any UFA and create excitement that way. It was this year or bust.

Already was. COVID clouded the fact that last season was make-or-break for the team to prove to Jack/Sam it could actually build around them.

The green GM and the 7 remaining staff members couldn't quite pull it off, and the owners were busy taking pictures on the Bills field, and building superyachts.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Should be a Bruins target 100%

Kevyn Adams has already embarrassed the Sabres in one trade with the Bruins.

I feel for the fans - but I'm sure they are sick of hearing it.
Thankfully for them both Eichel and Reinhart should give them very solid pieces in return.

Wonder if a team like Seattle (not far from his hometown) make a strong push for Reinhart? I envision a decent change of scenery for him and straight shot at becoming the face of that organization.

 

[LMFAO]

His exit interview was rough.

He looks like he is suffering the whole time.

 

[Beerz]

This is one Sabre I wouldn't mind moving on from.

 

[rangersfansince08]

Does he mostly play C or W?

 

[MuckOG]

Minnesota has the assets and the need. It's just a matter of finding the right deal.

 

[HaNotsri]

Does he mostly play C or W?

Before NHL C, since entering the NHL W. We fans begged for them to move him to C for six years, when they finally did he had 19 pts in 19 games and then came his exit interview...

 

[HaNotsri]

Fiala+Foligno for Reinhart and Ristolainen.

Fiala could end up a disaster with our management but if we keep Granato he's the right coach for him.

 

[TS Quint]

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

Sabres fans really playing fast and loose with the term “rival”.

 

[MuckOG]

Fiala+Foligno for Reinhart and Ristolainen.

Fiala could end up a disaster with our management but if we keep Granato he's the right coach for him.

Wouldn't the Sabres prefer a more future-oriented return? Something like:

2021 1st + 2022 2nd + Khusnutdinov + Dumba (for cap purposes)

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Fiala+Foligno for Reinhart and Ristolainen.

Not moving Fiala and absolutely don’t need Ristolainen. Would be something around Dumba.

 

[is the answer jesus]

Not moving Fiala and absolutely don’t need Ristolainen. Would be something around Dumba.

No thanks. We'll deal with Seattle after they pick Dumba if we really want him.
