Anderson is my #1 most likely add this season for the Sabres.

Definitely has a sack, unlike rinofan

They should trade sam for the center

Trade the D for wingers and sign some cheap D depth

For everyone that supports trading Sam, I'd like to see 1 or 2 realistic trade targets that makes the Sabres better short and long term and why. And why that team would be giving us a 2C that's better than Sam

Why pay a passenger ? If he was getting those numbers without jack then sure toss him that big contract .. hes probably the only player that can get us a center imo

A) It's proven he's not a passenger. So, let's get that out of the way.
B) You're right, he's probably our best trade asset. But my question remains unanswered.

BecUse it’s been proven time and time again that he is not just a passenger.

But I wouldn’t expect you to actually research that.

This never happens but I agree with you.

A quality Center does more for this team than Sam on a big contract. The only problem is you alienate Jack even more.

Put on your big boy pants Jack !

You are the one who keeps bringing it up. You sound like a complete Jack-ass. You have a permanent ban on your first account here. And you are making it obvious why you got that ban.

Tage, Okposo for the top line then?

Edit: Or I guess Kahun. Either way, sounds like a bad time.

I am not a big Rhino fan, but him and Jack have chemistry and play good together. If the contract is right sign him, we have other pieces that can be used to improve this team.

Why is it, that many Sabres fans are "not big rhino fans"?

You would think that a really good player or secret superstar would draw the fans to appreciate said player.

Is it the lack of speed
Lack of effort sometimes
Lack of the ability to play center 2
Lack of driving his own line from the wing
Lack of physical toughness winning battles
Lack of defensive awareness / no PK time
Lack of any memorable goals or highlights
Lack of expectations of the 2nd pick
Lack of leadership- ie the letter in the jersey
Lack of pp efficiency
Lack of winning with the same loser faces


If sam is such a good player and we are all Sabres fans. what is it 36?

I need a regular guy to understand the love.
Thank you in advance

I would like to hear a response from an open minded person

you and half this board CLEARLY hate him

the other half of the board is fine with what he does



the numbers have shown he is fine w/o Jack according to fancy stats



as for the lack of him not playing #2 center, when he entered the league he had scrubs on the 3rd/4th line and there was a 1-2 punch of eichel and ror as your centers for the top 6 SO IT MADE SENSE to give a player of sam's talent a spot on the wing in your top 6


once RoR was moved, why housley and krueger did not even try him at center is mind blowing, unless Eichel told them he prefers to have Reinhart on his wing

or he is playing wing because he is the only winger willing to play down low and do the dirty work, first guy since vanek

for the record I thought vanek's a$$ should have been parked in the slot instead of down low

this is a blah attempt by a clown to be objective on this divided topic

No one would b!tch about Rhino if we had an actual 2nd line to take some pressure off those guys.

I don't hate nor love Rhino.

Here is my objective opinion of why I think people b!tch about him.

He's not Draisaitl.

- TheSabresTaco

One I came up with that i thought made sense was:

Sam + (Asplund level player, or pick)
for
6th overall + Henrique

This assumes Henrique doesn’t have much value bc of his contract & they’d wanna be rid of it
Maybe we’d have to add to what we’d offer along with Sam?

that's on Murray though, and the other other person he was considering was Bennett not Draisitl



as for being drafted 2nd overall, you can get an eichel at number 2 probably once out of every ten years

you get lot of Ryan Murrays, James Van Riemsdyk, Jordan Staal, Bobby Ryan, Kari Lehtonen, David Legwand types


each draft is different


yes right now Leon clearly should have been picked at 2, hell he should have been the first pick

Pastrnak should have been the second pick, not the 25th guy



but there is no redrafts in life

Marcus Johansson pretty much had the same even strength points per game last season as Henrique

I don't have a problem with Sam Reinhart the player. I have a problem with committing to Sam Reinhart the player at 7 years for a high cap number.
