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?
- jdfitz77

Yeah, no way should we acquire henrique. We go from having 1 okpsoo, to having 2.

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.
- Powerslave

Pretty much.

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.
- buffalofan19

Yes sir

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
- homiedclown

Fair enough, I would like to hear exactly what makes guys like you love him and defend his every deficiency.

Neutral people are welcome to respond

Strange that CLEARLY half the board hates him

Must be something, maybe I left it off my list. I kinda just threw the list together quickly?

But i heard Pasternak & Draisaitl sign EVERY SINGLE autograph that’s asked of them, so.........
- jdfitz77

Dumb fitz


Never asked the b!tch for an autograph. Nor will I.


He dissed a friend on mines daughter, said : "I cant take a picture with you, my girlfriend wouldnt like it"

He is a huge drunk punk. I have inside information about being almost arrested after numerous warnings


And :

He's really soft and overrated by playing with eichel.
Very un exciting guy in person, which I pay $ to be entertained.

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
- homiedclown

It might be perhaps that he's not the "dynamic, speedy, mad skilled" player that everyone thinks you're supposed to get at two.

He's sneaky and subtly good. And there's nothing wrong w that.

Nobody posts more on here than you homie.

Deflecting again?

What is it that has you infatuated with sam to the point where you get upset constantly?

No one gets more upset in regards to any player more than you and sam. Is it your hockeybuzz reputation, based on a fringe player?

Seriously

Solid post.

Based on being a paying season ticket holder who's watched sam play 120 or more games live....

Boring, slow, unagressive.

Things that fans enjoy seeing

Pretty sure a bunch of Flyer fans are not b!tching daily because Hextall drafted Sanheim instead of Pastrnak

I run an on line business, and can keep many windows open


noticed you did not deny my post though

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
- Boss34

Well Boss, he disappears at times, just like Skinner. But he also is good for Jack, they play good hockey together. If we had a better 2nd and 3rd line nobody would probably say as much about him. But we don't right know so that 1st line is always in what ever conversation comes up be it good or bad, as long as the contract isn't out of wack, he should be resigned, this team needs good hockey players and he is.

fringe players do not average .64 points per NHL game

He isn't a face puncher, but I have seen him step in when Jack gets mauled, one of the few to do it.

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.
- TheSabresTaco

The 'proof' always make me laugh. Sam has played so little away from Jack or RoR. If you think this is proven, it's largely on the back of a good stretch with RoR. Even that is a very small sample size.

Sorry good player plays with other good players. The myth is as follows: Reinhart is only productive with Jack.

This is inherently and literally false.

I know it's just an opinion, but imagine if people were wired as a whole to simply keep an open mind. Vote for an intelligent man that has YOUR interests in mind, not his.

Things on the floor would begin with "hey, that could work, maybe we tweak this" instead of "YOU'RE (frank)ING SOCIALIST SCUM" and "YOU'RE A RACIST (frank)"

I voted Obama in 08 and Romney in 12. I didn't have it in me to vote for Trump, and I didn't even know he was half as poopty as I do now. Hillary is a legitimate criminal, so, like our friend Beady here, I embraced the Gary Johnson route.

Then, I got the "you wasted a vote" berating. Sorry, thought that was my American right. But you'll always get that from the losing side. Sorry I'm on a tangent.

I'd have to look very closely at Biden's policies before considering a vote for him. It sounds like he's willing to carry over some of the good that this admin has put into place. But the fiscal republican in me will push me back into the Jorgenson vote. Ah, the struggle.
- TheSabresTaco

Biden is a husk of a man. If elected, he would only be the mouthpiece of those who own him, the deep state, the MIC, and Soros.

I guess that's one way to rephrase things.

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

I think most people female dog about Rhino because he has another gear that he uses very sparingly. That's why he frustrates people. Consistent, but underwhelming.

he is what has sam done without jack ? with skinner he have some back story when he was with the hurricanes

- homiedclown

The funny part is ..... SO MANY people I am sure at the time of the draft LOVEDDDD that we drafted Sam.


Its easy to female dog about a draft 5 years later.

Hockey is probly the hardest game to draft for because you have so many unknown variables because they are kids at 18 years old.

Besides your crosbys, mcdavids, Eichels. Its a crap shoot on who you draft after the top 2 or top 3 picks some drafts.

Look at this years draft .... after Lafiere (sry about the spelling) Its a MASSIVE unknown. the kings could easily get it wrong.

Why do some not have the love for Reinhart that Homie and his homies do?

Let me count the ways.

He failed as a center which forced the Sabres to trade for ROR and then trade ROR
He is non-existent for a lot of games and periods of games
For a "cerebral" player you would think he could play the position he grew up playing, and not being forced to ride the hip of a true franchise player. Being "cerebral" you would think he would be a 200 ft, 2-way player but he is not.
.64/pt per game with Jack, most of us know he would be at least .50 or lower without playing without Jack for a whole season.
We just saw a 7th round pick outplay him on their line much of the time.
This may be peripheral but you never see him involved in the community like Jack, the OTHER 2nd overall pick. It's like he doesn't have to have any balls but lick Jacks and let Jack be the face of the franchise.
Besides certain Sabres fans, there are very few hockey fans around the league who hold him in very high regard.
There is a lack of speed, the lack of separation, toughness, leadership
The Sabres have been nothing but a loser with him and he shows little passion in his interviews such as Jack where he said "I'm sick of it" is Sam sick of losing or is he just in it for the next oversized payday?
