Agreed on reinhart. Either move him or lock him up reasonably and sign hall. Maybe look to expose skinner to seattle if he doesnt bounce back

I like oloffson, he could be patrick sharp like for this team and I want to see him signed to a deal that helps this team in 2 or 3 years

He's UFA in 3, which makes a 2 year bridge likely. Norms are being broken this year, so who really knows...

Pretty damn fortunate for the Sabres that Olofsson's birthday misses the window by all of 19 days to be a UFA in 2 years.

Yeah if he gets awarded more than the AHL minimum then the team gets to spin the price is right wheel and anything under .65 cents means they can walk away and kick him in the nuts on the way out
- jcragcrumple

Seems excessive, but for clarity, is it just 1 kick period, or 1 kick per Sabre in the organization?
Inquiring minds need to know.

If they go to Arb
▪Reinhart 1 for $5.75m
▪Ullmark 2 for $2.85m
▪Olofsson 2 for $3.25

If they settle before
▪Reinhart 5 for $7.1m
▪Ullmark 3 for $3.25
▪Olofsson 4 for $3.75

I think Ullmark goes to Arb, Sam gets signed before, Olofsson gets signed before.

Another thing about Quinn that no one mentions. He was coached by the Sabres all time great Norm Milley last season

Must be coaching Bill's kicker Tyler Bass

1 year 5.2 for Reinhart.

Sounds hard to play against

You were spot on about Reinhart not getting a contract by arbitration

Probably what he was going to get in arbitration on a one year deal anyways

Know go and get Olofsson signed, 2yrs 3.25 Avv and then see if Ullmark will take that Georgiev contract 2 yrs 2.4 Avv.

Wow ion s. - paying sam an extra half million than necessary?

They could have given girgensons extra $

Ullmark is on drugs if he thinks he is better than georgiev. But that’s probably what he should sign.

“We’ve signed Center Sam Reinhart to a one year deal worth $5.2M“

Interesting.

I wonder if they actually plan on moving him back to the middle or if this is just a coincidence.

I don't think he's better, and still hoping they pull a trade off for a goalie but think that is pretty close to what he gets in Arb.

Lol, my sister sent me that too. Here's what I think happened:

NHL.com has always listed him at center. After they signed Reinhart they told the intern to post something. The intern went to NHL.com and saw "center"

3C would be interesting, maybe Hall goes over to RW

Good number for Skunk.

Hall-Eichel-Olofsson

Ruotsalinen-Reinhart-Thompson

Good number for Skunk.

Yes it is Pach's, wouldn't be surprised if you see the other 2 signed shortly know that Rhino is out of the way.

Knowing Buffalo that does seem like the most logical solution
