Yes, I'm affraid of making the same mistake with sam
Paying for riding eichels coattails. (Like skinner)

That's exactly the point
- Boss34

Reinhart, scores most of his points 5V5.

Which is what most here female dog about not having enough of.

Correct. Skinner, Eichel, reinhart needs to be a line again. That top line would produce at an insane rate.

Reinahrt is one of the few good players on this team and fans cant wait to get rid of him, because anyone can come in and replace him, which we have seen is clearly false.
- ImThatGuy

Why replace olloffson on the top line?

He produces with eichel?

Everyone plays well with him. He's the best player currently in the nhl. (With McDavid injured)

Yep.... pretty much anyone
- hubie

Like Okposo or Sheary or Vesey or Girgesons or.......

- ImThatGuy

Olo, Jack and Sam are scoring at a higher rate than Skinner, Jack and Sam did last year. That's even with Olo missing 16 games.
Skinner has produced with 2nd/3rd line centers in the past. He needs to start producing here.

- Boss34

Because you are paying a winger 9 Mil a year to do nothing at all.

Literally a non factor in 90% of teh games played.

You think the Okposo and Bogosian contracts are a detriment to this team.

At this rate Skinner is worse than Both of them.

Like Okposo or Sheary or Vesey or Girgesons or.......
- ImThatGuy

You and everyone knows we are talking about a player outside the organization.
but all of those players would have career years if given the opportunity

Amazing what some secondary scoring does, , Erod is playing pretty good right know, still has that occasional body brain don't work in tandem, but upped his game.

Yep.... pretty much anyone

or can i just say olofsson
- hubie

At least two of the three mentioned are going to be making serious cash just like Reinhart, if you consider $7M or more to be serious cash.

I have zero clue what number Toffoli will end up signing for.

I would keep those two together, they seem to know where each other are at all times.

Reinhart, scores most of his points 5V5.

- ImThatGuy

I'm not sure about " most here" and 5 x 5 points.

To me it's about determination, effort , heart , speed , driving your own line , producing without eichel.
A big goal or exciting play would be nice too

Mainly- NOT OVERPAYING HIM for eichels play.

Similar to skinner

Olo, Jack and Sam are scoring at a higher rate than Skinner, Jack and Sam did last year. That's even with Olo missing 16 games.

- adambuffalo

Correct, which is why you need to pay Reinhart. hes a damn good hockey player. And can be a staple at Line 1 RW for years.

Take your pick of Dadonov, Hoffman, Toffoli.
- Pegullaville

Do you really think Dadonov or Hoffman are getting less than $7M per on their next deals?

Who is going to replace Sam if he is moved?

mind you that person has to come in and score 25+ goals a year, and 60+ points a year.
- ImThatGuy

okposo

I would keep those two together, they seem to know where each other are at all times.
- hubie

Olofsson is pretty good at finding that open space for that pass, he found that window again last night.

You and everyone knows we are talking about a player outside the organization.
but all of those players would have career years if given the opportunity
- hubie

They have tried all of those in the past and they failed.


SO they are good enough to play with Eichel and have career years, but bad enough that Skinner cannot produce because of them.

Double standard here.

No, but the assets we would get moving Sam and signing one of those aforementioned players makes us a better team.

See Adam's post.

Skinners deal is done, now you want to overpay sam for the exact same reasons

Playoff hockey is slower, less physical, and refs tighten up and call everything. Sam will thrive.
- Lunaion

Your slip is showing...

Take your pick of Dadonov, Hoffman, Toffoli.
- Pegullaville

They will be 32, 31 and 29 respectively next season. Sam will be 25 in November.

You're certain one of those three will sign with the Sabres? I know that question doesn't matter to you as you think an empty uniform can put up 50 points on a line with Eichel.

- Buff36

Erod is all in, every shift lately. I think we all were hoping to see this erod . I know 1 guy in particular, probably busy watching fox and friends currently?

If Coleman got a 1st and a decent prospect
What would Sam get!!!!

- adambuffalo

That is also somewhat important.

- hubie

You must go to the games 👏

This season boils down to a couple injuries and some bad goaltending.

Healthy skins and olo, 6-8 more points

If Coleman got a 1st and a decent prospect
What would Sam get!!!!
- Buff36

He would get one question mark, but absolutely not 4 exclamation points!
