Samson Reinhart isn't Ryan O'Reilly, Garf. If Samson had as much trade value as you claim he does, you wouldn't be trying so hard to get rid of him in each one of your blogs.

wow , the Sabres have an abundance of riches and every team is ONLY looking at the Sabres to trade with...

What trade value does the "Latvian locomotive" have ? Not much says everyone hence why he still is a sabre

Face palm

Yup, the league is crawling all over themselves to raid the lineup of a perennial bottom feeder with among the worst offences in the league for 4-5 years running.

If Rutherford wants Reinhart, he will have to part with Cole and D Olli Maattaa or Cole and a top six forward. I don't see that happening.

You don't see it happening because Reinhart's barely a top 6 player lol!

Half the teams in the league don't claim off waivers. That's his trade value.

I love Garth's blogs. Any time you need a laugh, his blog will never disappoint.

Team looking for veteran top 6 center, should look at trading for 22 year old hasn't shown he can play as a top 6 center.

The pens are looking for a 3rd line center, because current one has only 1 goal in 16 games. They should trade for Larsson and his 1 goal in 24 games, or maybe they prefer Girgensons and his 1 goal in 21 games, or even better, the Pens can trade a defensemen and a top 6 forward, for a guy that can't crack the top 6 on the 2nd worst team in the league.

Garth is comedic gold

But his name is SAMSON. This alone warrants a blue chip stud top pair defenseman plus a high number one pick! #garfsays

Maybe just maybe the scouts are out looking at Lehner. Every team needs a practice goalie. sad state cause you know - Jack hates to loose..

Another lost. Shutout too.

Who wants ANY Sabre outside of E.Kane? S E R I O U S L Y???? Except Kane, who had his "Bad Attitude" and all, EVERY other Sabre is TAINTED and POISONED. That is what happens when you lower your personal expectations as a player. EVERY player who comes to Buffalo looks like the workhorse that was expected to be for about a month, then...SABRE CANCER sets in. It's SAD, really really sad. I REALLY wish people would stop filling FNC, stop buying merchandise, stop living in the past with this organization and just stop supporting them until this culture of losing is expelled. It's the end of Nov. and they are at a worse pace for points than "The Tank"...and this year they were supposed to WIN. What's this core? 90, 15, 9, 47, 55, 21, 23, 28, and 4? 9 we can't afford after 07/01 and the rest is a bunch of now, misfit toys...there's just truly NOTHING to be positive for anymore with this team. Every game has THE SAME outcome. I'm just being a REALIST, not purposely trying to be a "downer".

Dude. Relax. Having no fan support isn't gonna get rid of the culture of losing. You might need to trade a core player or two before the culture changes. Don't look at Edmonton as an example, look a thing the Leafs. They had a 10 year culture of losing, made some big moves and look at them now. Fans never stopped showing up either.

Want to know the difference between the Lightning and the Sabres?

I know. World class talent at all positions. Organizational depth. Quality coaching. Quality management. Outside of its passionate fan base, the Sabres stink.

The Sabres are not "struggling" or have had too many injuries, they just don't have enough NHL caliber talent

The Lightning don't have a walking embarrassment blogging for them?

Still better than Duff.

Really? Does Duff float trade ideas like Larkin for OEL?

Because that would be more realistic than a lot of the stuff in this blog.

Duff doesn't even give an opinion. He copies and pastes other articles. 3/4 of his blogs are quotes. No effort made whatsoever. At least Garf is good for a laugh.

Jack ECHL is poop.

It's quite offensive he spent some time in the same breath as McDavid and even Matthews.

JACK ECHL is starting to look a lot like the entitled little rich kid that if he does not get his way he moans and growns, breaks sticks in anger and takes his ball and goes home. Ton of talent, needs a lot of growing up to do.

Eichel should be producing more than he is. It's not his fault that's he's surrounded by crappy players, but if he's anything like McDavid or Matthews, he should be doing much more than he is. He got his head coach and GM fired. He's still complaining. I like players who hate losing. I want that competitive fire in a player. He has that. But he's supposed to put this team on his back and carry them. He's now being paid like the franchise player he's supposed to be. I know he's only 20 years old. But he needs to do much more. He has to carry this team until the rest of the roster is improved. More winning and less whining, Jack.

I would entertain offers for ANYONE at this point. And I literally mean ANYONE

Garth, you are the BEST

Reinhart for OEL.....geez, I don't know. Where are you gonna replace those 10 points up front?? And from OEL's perspective - what an awesome deal! He finally gets out of the desert, only to be shipped off to the ONLY team in the league worse than Arizona

It's too bad Ennis isn't here anymore, because there's no way Chayka could refuse OEL for Reinhart AND Ennis. No way....
