He has the right to say it, because it's 100% true
- sbroads24


Sure he's got the right but it might not be the best decision at this point. I think he just wants to be involved because he thinks he can help the team win, but it came off wrong

if they lost to the bengals by 21 points and watkins played the entire game and got 4 targets, he would have an issue


when he missed the last 11 quarters of football, then IMO his timing his pathetic and honestly comes off as childish, selfish, and stupid

most people have #99 as 1 all time and $4 as the second best player

IMO Jagr belongs in the top 5 conversation right now, and could belong as the number 3 all time if he stayed here, perhaps number 2 all time

So. .........
Lets talk Reinhart, I've been saying for months that there is no room for him in Buffalo, two many good centre's ahead of him.

Trade him now I said, the longer you wait the more his value will drop I said. Our 6 overall from that draft is being outplayed by our 24th overall, who had outplayed Reinhart to date.

Here's a proposition to either get me yelled at or at the very least stimulate some hockey talk.

McCann who's looked like a top 5 pick from the 2014 draft.
Hansen the leading scorer from the top team in the Pacific
A second

For
Reinhart
A third

he should be #3 on the all time goals and points by the end of the season.. if he plays next season as well he could get to #2 for points

Yeah I know, I should have thrown Higgins or burrows in their as well. ..
Sam will top out as a 2nd line center and he had said that is a dream of his to come home. ... can't we help a kid realize his dreams!

I don't think so. In my opinion Reinhart still has that potential to be something worthwhile and it's too early to trade him. He hasn't played 20 games in the pros yet so to trade him is premature. If he can't fit here there's a nice cozy spot for him 60 minutes down the 90 where he can play, get some speed adjustment, and be playing against people who aren't 16.

Could it bite us long run if he doesn't pan out? Of course. But for now I say stay the course and let him grow into it at his own pace. Not like we need him to be THE guy right now.

Watching last nights game, seeing Sabres fans, some of them still wearing slug jersey's just makes me think: Not one person in your life loves you enough to get you something newer for Christmas? These people can't hardly be wearing these because they actually like them or think they are 'ironic' in a hipster kind of way.

Everyone kept avoiding him because of the uncertainly around his QB.

Strangest thing I've seen this season, but apparently it's been effective since I believe it's led to at least 2 goals, is Reinhart as the guy in front of the net screening the goalie.

Other smart people have observed the same thing. And me.

200 dollars for a shirt is way too much for me to ever buy another jersey again. As long as I have one that's all I'll need.

Should I including prust to make the trade come full circle



You'd have to send back a 6th and Higgins isn't included anymore.

Reinhart isn't going anywhere. Theres plenty of room for him in BUF and I like the role hes playing now - interchangeable through the lineup getting minutes in all situations. Hes been one of our best forwards through 4 games. Scoresheet watchers will question his play, but those who know what to look for should be impressed. Physically hes not completely there, but the NHL is clearly where he belongs.

He will work his way to number 3 in points all time this season.

You guys see the stat that said that by the time Eichel was born Jagr had 451 GP, 225 Goals, 545 Points, and 2 cup rings? Crazy to think about.

Messier is number 2 in points all time.... IDK tough to say. Still crazy that #99 has more ASSISTS than messier has points- who again is number 2 in total points.
