You literally just laughed at a post suggesting he’s better than Matthews.


- sbroads24

ask any non sabres fan that does not live in boston


I can take the homer out of the game when it comes to buffalo sports

Again, how is this post above^^ different from half of the Reinhart posts you consider “hating”?

That’s my question to you

- sbroads24


Bc they’re taken in conjunction with all the OBVIOUS posts that have DEFINITELY been “hating”

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

- jdfitz77



I'm sure the Sabres look at sam again at center.

They would be foolish to not give it a second look.

Thing is, we're winning. Why change anything?

The thing with matthews is that if he doesn’t score a goal, you have to check the roster sheet to even know he played. However, it’s not often when matthews isn’t scoring goals. Eichel dominates games whether he gets on the scoresheet or not. Only Gaudreau and McDavid has had more time with the puck on their stick in the offensive zone then Eichel this year. Eichel is top 3 in the league in shots on goal. When Eichel only had 5 goals in the 25 games he had 27 assists to make up for it. Eichel has 26 points in his last 16 games with Sam Reinhart and Jeff skinner. How much more damage do you think Eichel could do with a supporting cast of Marner, Tavares, Nylander, Kapanen ? Eichel is the only player in the top 20 in scoring that doesn’t have another one of his teammates in the top 20. You like Matthews, I’ll take Eichel 7 times out of 10.

You literally just “ ” a post that said Eichel is better than Matthews.

As if it’s laughable to suggest that.

How. Is. That. Different. From. What. People. Say. About. Sam?

Now answer my question

- sbroads24


Eichel is still talked about as a good player regardless

Samson is not

That is all I got to say about that.

Probably right...
but what about making that trade
AND
signing Duchene

Duchene, Krejci, Mitts down the middle
Pasternak, (keep) Skinner, Sam, Sheary,
and looked for Nylander, Olofsson & Sheary to come up & be at least decent wingers in the top9

This would obviously mean we are moving out current Cap like: Berglund, Okposo, Scandella

The Cap would be tricky for sure,
but it’s gonna get a big bump when Seattle joins just like it did with Vegas

- jdfitz77


We spent 8 years from '07-'15, and 3 more while Eichel ramped up to have an elite 1C, and I'm swapping that for a 28 year old center and a 32 year old center?

That was the point of my post. He's the only player that I want in an Eichel trade. Everything else is pointless. Of course, even Chiarelli wouldn't be dumb enough to trade McDavid
- jcragcrumple


Taylor or Tyler?

Who gives a poop, Chiarelli gon' trade em anyway for... erm... um... Adam..... Larsson..

yes he should, Like you said, GM's have a responsibility to listen to all offers. When LA called Edmonton about Gretzky, I imagine that call went like, hey is Wayne available? Hello?, Hello....... (Dial tone.....................................) But that call set the table for the trade.....
- hehateme



Actually Gretzky picked LA.

again you refused to answer my question

how is saying matthews is better then eichel, and he is


how is that hate?

- homiedclown


This is a painful exercise... broads is asking you the same thing.

You say every critique of Sam is hate

"Keep the hate coming"

But your critiques of Jack are just critiques.

Hypocrisy.

To laugh hysterically of the thought that Eichel is better then matthews just proves you don’t watch any Leaf games at all. I watch more Leaf games then Sabre games due to where I live. Matthews might be marginally better at best.

Yeah at this rate, Matthews is just a better shooter. This point, Eichel's better OA. Not sorry.

This is what I have been saying, Sabres are in desperate need of a Play making number 2 center.. i would gladly give up 1 or 2 of the number 1 picks we have and prospects if we could get a legit #2 center... Mitts will be good but he is Rooking and on the smaller side. Could you imagine if we had a #2 center of say...Sean Couturier, good money and term....

Eichel 6'2" 200 lbs
Reinhart 6'1" 192 lbs
