I watched some of it. He was run over once, by Girgensons. He has never and will never be a big physical presence. He is known for his smarts and being ahead of the play. Not saying he is anywhere close to him but Gretzky was a small player, but never seen him get destroyed or man handled. The reason was he was smarter than anyone on the ice. If Reinhart shows in training camp his IQ transfers over to the speed of the NHL game he will be here.

Doesn't it suck having to put a disclaimer like that in? You just know someone would berate you over mentioning someone better than said player (in any example)... *sigh*

It does, but if I didn't someone would take that and jump all over it.

Gretzky had Semenko and then McSorley . Back then bodyguards did their job. Is it worth exposing him when he can get a year bigger and stronger . What is the rush? We are not a cup contender yet.

That's the whole point. I am not rushing him. The whole premise had been IF.

I would agree with this.

Someone go tell Ennis he needs to get bigger. Guy is 20 lbs lighter than Reinhart.

Kid has the moves and smarts . Just worried about the physical thing. Back when Gretzky was young , everyone knew better than manhandling Gretzky or you dealt with CementHead. Talk about Scott having no Skills . Semenko made Scott look like Stamkos!

this is where Foligno and staff has underachieved

if your not putting up 30 goals a season, use your big body to stick up for your players


If Lemieux does not make the club, I do not think Sam will this season

my 2 cents

Lemieux looked like he is ready physically . That kid is built.

If Lemieux is on the third line with Grigens and Sam on the wing, does that change anyone's opinion for this season?

He would be best served in the minors working on his offensive game IMO. As for Sam I dont really care where he lands. I'm sure he'll get his 10 games on the Sabres and then be sent back down.

Physically he may be ready. His game needs a quite a bit of work before he's ready for the NHL. He'll be back in Jr this year.

He was bouncing off Risto on Tuesday. Funny seeing him get under Ristos skin at the end of the shift.

He certainly would have physical line mates . But in the modern NHL . No one is untouchable.
