And people think I'm crazy to believe the Buffalo media can and does have an impact on players either not wanting to play here ......... of wish to get out ASAP.

We'll see about Jack ............... but after what Hamilton did to him you never know.

Probably cuz Reinhart was GMTM's first draft pick and he had sentimental value to him. Still, I highly doubt he is moved. There are enough teams (ANA, MIN, etc.) that have to move a good dman, at the risk of losing one to Vegas for nothing, that the price won't be a Hall-type, hopefully. 50+ points as a 20 year old is nothing to be ashamed about.

The problem with Sam is that he shouldn't be playing with Jack. He was dynamic when he shifted back to center for a brief time later in the year.

Whatever "favour" McPhee owed Murray probably left the building at the same time Murray was fired.

Speaking of Buffalo Media, did anyone bother to ask TP when he was planning on starting interviews? (you know rather than attending "practice" at the bills yesterday?

It probably left the building the minute that Murray made it public. I am sure that McPhee's boss couldn't have been happy to hear that Murray was owed a solid from a previous organization. This is part of the honesty that made everyone cringe a bit.

put him on a playoff team and let see how he plays, IMHO I would bet the answer is yes. right now they are asking him to play against every other top line, penility kill, power play. play the enforcer, play the skating d-man, and cover for whoever he is playing for... oh and play close to 30 min a game. WAY TOO MUCH to ask of a young guy. Again IMHO


wouldn't it be a great question for Ovie or Sid to see what they think of him? because I'm pretty sure they didn't enjoy playing against him.

- gordong

Honestly, people will hate this, but another young D man was a pain to play against, put up points as a young player, but had severe defensive efficiencies, and was never a #1 on a successful team. Dion Phanuef.

Risto is him IMO. Solid physical 2nd pairing player, good PP player, bad 5 on 5 player

Let go; Gionta, Deslauriers, Franson, Kulikov, Fedun, Nillson
Trade/Let go; Moulson, Ennis, Gorges
Trade; Reinhart, Carrier.
Baptiste and Bailey need to be up all year. Gionta, thanks but kids need to play.
When we can have our third line be the 4th line we will have arrived.
The second pairing on D is the big how to? Trade Reinhart?
Unload dead weight in Ennis, Gorges, Moulson, Bogo, etc.
I would not pay Shattenkirk.
I would pay anything to get Lehner to stop a shot in the shootouts.
Nylander, needs to be up he is scary talented, put him on weight gain and let him play alongside Eichel.
Need two top 4 D (not 1), and two scoring LW's.
Don't give up on Zemgus.
Get a freaking coach that lights a fire under their asses before each game.

Could we trade Moulson straight up to the Coyotes for McGinn

you replied to me, i challenge this

Odds going up means i think its less wishful thinking and falls more into the its certainly possible category.

There's no attachment anymore. This is no longer an arrogant GM's first ever first pick. This is just a young forward. Im not even taking his stats into consideration just that a GM may come in and identify Reinhart as the best trade bait for landing a young d-man with the kind of upside we need.

- Sabresfan-365


Overall, I understand the asset management perspective but it would take a good amount coming back for me to consider it based on even Reinhart's current production and his cap hit plus being years away from UFA.

Can anyone who knows something about something help me figure out why this VGA to HDMI adapter won't work? I bought it so I could connect my laptop to my tv for streams


- chilliard77


Based on writing on that adapter you have a HDMI to VGA. The adapter you have takes the video and sound from the HDMI and splits the video to the VGA and sound to aux port.

You need a VGA to HDMI with sound.

I'm assuming you're trying to connect the VGA from your laptop to the HDMI on your TV.

you would in all likelihood be looking at some sort of one for one. a team with either a d-man being misused, not given enough minutes or some combination of the two close to the same age as reinhart...or distance to ufa status.

IMO, Reinhart is going to continue to improve, but not the way they have been using him.

He needs to be playing center.

Harrington's exchange with Pegula will likely be the last one he ever gets with Terry again. What a complete tool.
