Sam gets 6, Skinner gets 8, CM gets 6, Dahlin gets 9, Girgensons gets 12. Dollars.

Were no where near that point yet.

Hopefully he does because that means he improved 10 fold

I liked the pick,
but another LH guy

Likely to be a few years before he pushes for a spot here though

At least 1 more year of college
Then at least 1 year in Rochester

You have your finger on the pulse of this team

Yeah, if we are at the point where Mitts is getting 6mil... then he’s become at least a 20goals/60point player

I think most of us have seen enough talent to think he will get there though,
eventually

McCabe and Pilut comes back on Friday or Saturday. Send Guhle down, gives the club 23 players, within that 8 defensemen. What happens when Casey Nelson comes back? Does Remi Elie go back on waivers when Scott Wilson is ready? Can the Sabres realistically send down Pilut? When can we send Dahlin down so Tennyson can come back?

You don’t see how the Sam “hate” and your Jack “bashing” is similar?

-Sam is no Nylander

Hate

-Eichel is no Matthews

Literally same thing

Truth is, neither is hate or bashing

You mentioned it in a previous post, I think all the hate comes from one thing, Sam was drafted #2 and typically that is a great player.. IMO over the past 4 years watching Sam play, I feel he is a very solid player who can make all the passes, all the shots, a little on the slow side but adequate speed, but needs to be around better players. And he may have been a center in the OHL but in the NHL his skill set is better as a winger.

Sam on Jacks Line with Skinner he may put up 75pts, Sam centering a 2nd line he may put of 55 pts. Just my take...

- hehateme


I was just talking to my friend about this very thing a few days ago.. I don't think I've ever seen Sam beat a goaltender clean with his shot, except for that backhand in the SO a few games back.

BPA is the right choice in hockey, no matter what. Time will tell if he was, but, he was on June 23rd.

Here's some advice from someone who's been around here far too long....

Don't try to keep score of who did what/said what and who's right and wrong. It's pointless and childish. It also makes you look like a total douche.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, it's just getting tiresome to read this type of stuff every 3-4 posts (which I've now started skipping over).

Everyone here has an opinion. Sometimes they'll be right, sometimes they'll be wrong. If yours ends up wrong, just dust yourself off and move on. If yours is right, it's not necessary to gloat about it. Nobody else really gives a poop one way or the other.

Good day sir.

I think it’s going to be interesting next year to see what the Sabres do.

Do they hand out a giant contract to Sam?

Is Skinner here?

- sbroads24


Another reason they should take a look at him at Center again

We’ve argued about Sam since forever...
but we need to know if he can drive his own line, or just be really good with Eichel

It’s a fair question to ask
And should be a consideration when determining his next contract

71 pts in his last 78 gp
- homiedclown


Leading up to the 2014 draft when Reinhart got selected, our top 4 centers from the 2013/2014 season were:

Cody Hodson - 44 points
Zemgus Girgensons - 22 points
Steve Ott - 20 points
Brian Flynn - 13 points

Seriously

Reinhart was a consensus top 4 pick by all hockey experts. The Sabres had garbage at center with nothing in the farm system. I'd say that 90% of this board back then was delighted when we picked Reinhart. I think Gerbe wanted Ehlers, that's about all I remember.

Anyway, I am glad Reinhart is on the Sabres. He reminds me a lot of the Sedin twins. They got bashed all the time for their lack of size, speed, flashiness etc. However, they both scored over 1,000 points in their NHL careers. Both will end up in the Hall of Fame.

When the Sabres play in Vancouver on January 18, if you see a guy wearing a white #23 in the stands, its SabreWest.

Yes. Yes you were. Though he did do well his first year. After that, not so much.

Plenty of people gave you a lot of poop about it too.

How is saying a guy who can’t drive his own line is disappointing as a second overall pick, hate?

It’s the same.

I don’t hate Sam, I’m critical of him.

Same with you and Eichel.

You were critical of him at times
