I have Scandella and Johnson on D and he doesn't.

51 pts between the two of them. I'm up 183-145

- dadeadhead


Scandella has pretty much been the only thing keeping my opponent in there. I'm up by 53 right now.

I FINALLY play Andersen and he's been riding pine this week. I stayed away from Kuemper b/c I think he'll come back down to earth too.

I'm up 83...duh on me.

250ish-170

We both have Andersen (so no losses there) and I have Miller vs. Kuemper.

If the draft order went exactly as the standings are now, the Sabres would be picking #2, #14 (StL) and #18 (NYI).

Would you take that at this point?

I still think he could have developed just fine sticking it out here, but given the way the team has done things since last November, it's not a surprise at all.

I disagree, it was only a matter of time before one of the big hits he's been taking put him on the IR. Then we completely burn the first year of his elc for nothing. He needs to get stronger he can do that anywhere.

The first year of ELC means nothing. If he struggles like this, his next contract won't be that valuable anyway. He's got right back up after every hit he's taken. It would have been a non-issue.

Probably but I don't think this hurts him either, especially during this kind of season. I'd give him AHL time next year as well.

2 sides of this coin.

Stays-Reinhart gets avg 10 min TOI, lowers confidence, trains and plays with NHL (and I use that term loosely) players. Learns a ton about the game, but just doesn't have the strength and speed to keep up yet. Built and plays like a top 6 guy, playing on the 4th line. Why bother.

Leaves-Dominates, continues to work on diet and exercise regiment that has been given to him by NHL trainers. Builds his confidence back up, has one more go at the junior level and goes to the Amerks when/if the playoffs are done for the ICE. Yeah, he misses out on more NHL experience, but he's 18 and there will be plenty of time for that in his near future.

I believe that through what I've read and listened to and watched, that he's going to be a consummate pro and has little more to go in gaining a mental maturity for the game. He clearly needs to develop physically, which has always been in his scouting reports. I'm glad he won't get jerked around like Grigorenko. Him and Armia are looking fantastic so far this season, and I wouldn't expect anything less from Reinhart next year if he lands on the Amerks. It will take time for him to build his strength and speed and I for one am totally content with his steady development. Sure, the team here is terrible and his linemates certainly don't help his cause. Training here would likely be a bit more beneficial, but why bother burning a contract for someone who really can't contribute, a top 6 guy playing on the 4th line is garbage. If we had a strong third line I'd be all for keeping him in the '06 Derek Roy spot. Might as well bring him along slowly, no hurry here.

I think the season they're having is exactly why he should stay. It's a throwaway year. Being a small liability, even if he is one, really does nothing.

I just hope Grigorenko comes up now, otherwise, there's really nothing worth watching on this team.
