Yeah, and? He was like Vanek. They were both just plain good. I'm sure there were a few guys in the 80's who put up 50 on a regular basis that didn't do a lot, but adjusted for era, no, I don't think there was anyone who rarely, if ever, -I certainly can't think of one- makes a pretty play that gets as many points as he does.

He wasn’t Vanek. He was a guy you’d never expect to score goals because he looked like he wasn’t skilled enough and was slow af. He had a decent shot and was a good playmaker. But he scored a ton of tips and deflections and was a smart player

Vanek was the most skilled player on the ice most of the time

I don't think there's a legit guy that high. Trade down. I like what I've seen from Croom for the most part, he's big and athletic and can catch.

Good post

Looks like trading down makes sense.

McDermott is gonna be tempted to go defense.
Couple big DT's to replace kyle?

Right. Vanek took a beating in front of the net. Tipped in more goals than I've seen anyone else do. Scored a ton of garbage goals. He was an amazing net front guy.

Sam had a nice, uncontested screen. Fine play, but let's not bring up Vanek because of it.

My point is that Vanek was spectacular at times and his elite hands and puck handling were obvious.

Andreychuk was a guy who based on skill, should never be a HOF’er. But he was smart, and knew how to score.

Andreychuk would be the “best unspectacular player in franchise history” IMO

Because he was slow doesn't mean he didn't make some great plays. But Andreychuk is also another woefully under-appreciated player.

Tavares is really slow but he makes tons of awesome plays.

Slow dave took alot of abuse in front of the net. Cross checks and face washes.

Unspectacularly took it all. Never defended himself or anyone else.

6'3 235 lbs.

I know bandit- being tough is standing in front of the net.

It was the 80's when violence was part of the game.

Agreed, but he wasn’t as skilled as Vanek. Not even close

Slow dave just hung around the net. Tough to move. Long reach. Garbagetruck. Consistent for sure.


Vanek scored some nice skilled goals.

Slow dave wouldnt be taking penalty shots....

To be fair he was getting hammered all game and looked like he tweaked his arm/shoulder. He played the next 2 series but he was laboring pretty good

Holding Brady to 126 with 1 td and 2 INT

Get some gott dang receivers for Allen

- jcragcrumple

And perhaps get a QB for Allen too, that way he can concentrate on his running.

The "Reinhart debate" is much more interesting than five years ago when we were debating whether or not hiring two folk heroes to turn around this franchise was a good idea.

What’s the debate though? I think we all agree he’s a good player, but some posters beg others ones to suck him off on a daily basis

This team is going to have some tough decisions to make when it comes to committing long term to certain players. Reinhart will be at the top of that list.

And it’s quite an easy decision to not overpay him as of today.

He’s done nothing to date to show he’s a big time player.

He’s shown he’s a very good compliment to great players

Agreed. Still young and learning . Might have more skill to show . Others peak at 20.

Sam seems to have ...more.

Saw a tweet from Alan Pergament of the News that RJ is home and resting in his 'lazyboy'.
