I wanted Sam to stay.馃様
He IS the most underrated two way forward in this league!

I'm sick of seeing this franchise develop players just to watch them leave when they are true difference makers.

As for Jack, Jack is under contract for 5 years yet right?
The franchise has the power, not him.
If you don't get the proper value for a player like Jack?
You keep him.
Tough for him!!
He signed the contract.
Honor it or retire.

I'm sick of these players crying like babies, throwing a temper tantrum and then getting their way.
The Sabres have the power.
I certainly hope that they intend on using it properly.
This franchise's fanbase has suffered long enough.
Screw Jack's feelings!!

This 50+ year fan is going to miss Sam.
Way underrated player.

Sorry....I'll see myself out now.馃様

The Sam Reinhart trade is official: Florida sends a 2022 first-round pick and prospect Devon Levi to Buffalo.


YUCK

- Stripes77


That was the best offer? I think the teams out west just weren't into a 1-year rental

But maybe the Sabres Twitter universe didn't have a clue about that either, what do you think Broads?

How do people know what really goes on behind the scenes they don't its all speculation.

Rhinehart could have threatened to leave the nhl for a year for all we know.

Adams absolutely MUST win the Eichel trade...
Disappointed there wasn't a top prospect included with the first

Hopefully Florida struggles next year and they get a good draft pick because that's very underwhelming IMO

More than what the Rangers got for Buchnevich but still disappointing

- Stripes77
Florida should be better next year than last, Bennett looked great there, and now they have added reinhart

I feel like it was missing something else for sure. At least a 2023 2nd.

Not even Vatrano

Sabres did significantly better on the return for Reinhart than the Rangers did for an equally impactful forward in Buchnevich.

Ultimately both should have gone for way more than Jones and Ristolainen. I still don't get it.

I鈥檇 guess possibly FLA questioned about an extension and Sam told them no thanks.

It鈥檚 the type of deal you get for a rental at the deadline.

It's because we don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

Do people really think adams is gonna trade him in the division if he had better offers?

Sam has made it clear he's going to free agency. That's why Seth Jones got way more because he immediately signed with CHI.

The market for D was greater than a certain type of forward rentals. I don't know we'll have to wait until the insiders some out with why if they do.

Levi was fantastic in the World Juniors. I still don't have faith the Sabres scouting department can get the draft right anyway. Might as well go with someone with at least a small track record.

My God a 7th round pick and a late 2022 1st?
I was under the impression you guys were getting a lot more than that.

Seems fair to me for one guy we all hated and another one who seems to hate buffalo cause his lover said so.
