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.

It s not being argued that he is not a good player, he is a supporting cast good player and some, like yourself, are overcasting him to be more than he is.

fringe players do not average .64 points per NHL game


this is why I go after you


you act like reinhart is denny hamel

- homiedclown



Without eichel, do you really think he would be that good?

He has only 1 season over 50 points and just over 100 goals in 400 nhl games. With the best passer in the game feeding him the puck on the pp as well.

You are about to maybe give him 50 million over 7/8 years. You can see my concern. (The Sabres are way smarter and not going too in my opinion)

1 more year 5.5.-5.8 is his value to me

He has 0 intangibles. So the points are good and all, but what is it that makes you love him so much?

What people are missing about Sam is we drafted him to be our future first line center with basically the first overall pick as a offensive forward

Just think if we never got jack we be more (frank)ed because of him

If Reinhart is so good, why aren't there any trade rumors around the league speculating about teams trading for him? Fans making up BS trade offers? Because nobody cares about him.

If he gets 7 mil for a long time then they have a problem. They've already lost with him for his whole career and he is no Jack, they'll be stuck with him

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?

- GilPerreault11



That pretty much sums it up Gil.

I want to like him.
I was thoroughly unimpressed with his 9 game tryout, the first year had season tickets.

Hasnt done anything to change my original opinion I guess. He looked really out of place and slow.

He was just 18 or 19 during the stretch. So it is very young to expect too much. Something would have been nice. 1 assist in 9 games?

And off ice dueshe baggerie.

Underachieving, overpaying, softness, lack of excitement and lack of speed are definitely top concern for all the players. That's Sam, the points are good.

Olloffson is going to score more than sam next season.

Care to wager the standard? 179 picks later guy, beats the nhl players son.

Ek9, skinner and now olloffson showed you that eichel is the reason for players statistics being inflated.

I care about producing away from the best player.

That's how he should be paid. Same for 2 first round picks ek9 and skinner.

How did he fail at C so we traded for ROR,he had played 9 games in the NHL. I hated the ROR trade, but that had nothing to do with Rhino and all about protecting Eichel.
He is actually plays a decent 200ft game, unless I am watching the wrong player.
Hey if he's a piece used to bring in a better player go for it. But you don't give away decent hockey players because they might ride the coattails of a star player. Every player that plays with Eichel is riding his coattails

You also dont give "decent " hockey players 7 or 8 million a year, like home slice wants to do.

They overpaid the last coattails rider 9 big beans.

Learn from that mistake.

Everyone says skinner needs to be with eichel bla bla

We need players to be good, not with eichel.

We are losing because we make stupid trades and drafted horribly. TM (frank)ed this team, Botts screwed up. People saying Rhino is a big part of are losing, then so is Jack. As long as his contract is not out of wack, unless there's someone else on this roster at RW that can give you 60pts a year, he should be brought back.
