I love how everyone's criticism of him is "He's one hit away from career ending injury"

Yeah, just like every player in every contact sport and every person who walks across the street. Absurd.

The kid's missed 17 games in the last 4 years and has scored 110 goals in that time.

But yeah, we should definitely trade him because he's probably gonna be a vegetable or something.

Reinhart and next year's first for Hanafin and two 2nd's. Is this over or under pay?

You mean when he had his breakout year ? And signed that huge contract

And milked it afterwards..

How about Phil Kessel last year ?

Or Jeff Skinner ?

Connor McDavid?

3 players that were already good before Roberts.

You are throwing this Sam isn't big enough to play in the league crap around. Acting like he doesn't care about his body or what kind of shape he is in.

Reinhart, to me, looks like exactly the kind of guy I want.

Even if he's only ever a 50ish point guy, he'd be just fine in Raleigh.

- BINGO!



He's just fine in Buffalo just the new whipping boy around here.

You can have him for Hanifin though

I don't think it's unreasonable, just not the kind of deal we're looking for right now.

Canes are gonna be looking to poach players with higher salaries that teams can't afford or grab guys that teams are afraid to lose in the expansion draft.

Dude really ?Gary Roberts is the one that turned Stamkos into Stamkos we see today

It's not that he doesn't care about his body it's that he doesn't know the secrets of how to improve his body

Hanifin's production is borderline and his defensive prowess is suspect. A first, Reinhart and two seconds for a guy with 24 points a career -30? No thanks

You can have Moulson for free, too in that case.

On a very young and very bad Hurricanes team that only recently started coming together as a team.

Hanafin would be a good fit here, IMO. Defenseman take a lot longer to hit their prime than forwards, he was a top-3 pick and we need defense. What other D are we getting with what we have?

For example look at Victor Hedman ... Number one reason why I hate drafting defenseman high take years to develop

You would be getting the two 2nds.

Hanifin only turned 20 two months ago and has played with a rotating series of poopty non-NHL D partners for two years.

Same reason Rutherford always avoided taking D in the first round.

Noah's never going to be a big time point producer, but when he's full developed he'll give you a solid 35+ points and be a real bastard to play against.

Nah. Build a huge stockpile, develop them, and sell them for exorbitant prices when their replacement is ready. Then, use those assets acquired to maintain said stockpile and win championships.

"Beer experts" you mean hipster snobs.

It doesn't need to be on a list for hipsters to be the best. It's been around forever and people are turned off by the 'stigma' attached to it. Southern Tier being that high is self-masturbation of a local brewery.

I'm glad it hasn't gained Pabst Blue Ribbon god level with hipster (frank)tards, personally.

EDIT: I had Big Ditch recently. Like Flying Bison, extremely overrated.

Were you also rocking a mountaineer beard and wearing a flannel button up in 90 degree weather and showing off your fresh new tat?
