Confirmed Signing with Link: [FLA] Sam Reinhart re-signs with the Panthers (3 years, $6.5M AAV)

[FinlandPanther]

I'll eat my shoe insole if he breaks 40... I like Bennett, but he's not putting up numbers like that suddenly. It's morel ikely he gets pushed down the lineup.

You need some sauce for that shoe? Huberdeau got Wennberg to 17 goals.

Get your plate ready…

You take half seasons and a contract year seriously? Everyone said the same thing when Kadri put up some great numbers too in the lockout season.

So maybe he’ll be a 60-70 pt guy but that’s not what he has been. He’s mostly been a 50-55, 20 G guy. This year, he was literally are only legit forward d/t trades and injury besides rookies so was force fed 1c minutes thus the uptick in goals. The other 60+ point year he was riding shotgun with eichel and skinner scoring 40 goals on his line. Not that he’s not good, and that he might be 60+ points for you - but he’s not going to get 1st center minutes on your team likely. He’s more 50-60 points then a 60-70 pt guy

He’ll be lined up with Barkov or Huberdeau, can step in at center if needed with others such as Bennett, Duclair or Verhaeghe…don’t think production will be an issue seeing as how his best years were with Eichel and Skinner or as the top C.
Nothing wrong with that AAV at all.

this is what he has essentially been the last 3 years.

This has almost never been true and definitely not for the last 3 seasons.

And... 6.5M is pretty fair for a consistent 20g 50pts 2nd line guy, what's the issue?

That's pretty much his floor too, and likely just entering his prime at 25. Again, seems like a oretty fair contract

I wanna provide the shoe.

Well, they are slides.

The cushion on these Ivy Park Beyonce slides my wife just bought got foams thicker than her booty. And she is latina.

Dude go look at his stats - it us exactly true. Sandwiched between the skinner 40g year and this shortened year where he was the #1 c. He had 50 in 69 games- so let’s give him an extra 6 or 7 for those games. Maybe he hits 60 …but he is not a regular 70 pt player. No one is saying he’s not good but he has not statistically been a 60-70 player which is an echelon above a 50-60 pt player.

There’s no issue - I was just saying he’s factually not a 70 pt player- thus why he’s probably getting 6.5 per year. If he was scoring 70 regularly he’d be 8+ - just replying that’s it’s fair as you say and not some steal bc he is not a regular 38g/70pt player as was being stated.

Also folks realize he has been playing wing for eichel for his whole career besides the past season right? I’d say Eichel is at least equivalent to Barkov so I’m not sure how much of a jump in production he will get playing either away from line 1 or even as a wing with Barkov.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Great deal for both sides. Hope he crushes it in Florida.

You said he’s 50-55pts, 20g. That has not been true for most of his career and not the last 3 years.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Cap probably goes up in 3 years. I get it from his perspective. He’s going to put numbers up with Barkov.

Most likely but then again how much more would he do? 1M AAV more in 3 years? Is that worth the - say - the 26M guaranteed he left out had he signed a 7 years deal instead of 3?

 

[Jamie Walker]

huge Reinhart fan. I wish him the best. really sad to see him go.

 

[Kaner9]

Reinhart is real good. Money is not low but its fair.

Hey..

I'm a lucky man. Those slides were hard to get.

 

[BertCorbeau]

The AAV makes a bit more sense had Florida bought some UFA years .. But they bridged him to UFA and paid a premium to do so.

Get your salt and pepper ready

 

[drktmplr12]

reinhart is going to look so bad lined up with barkov or huberdeau no way he gets 50 points

Is that 40 points or 40 goals?

 

[Dread Clawz]

Just 17/18?
The team culture, finally having a clear vision, better communicating etc. etc. is massive. I'd also add that Zito shed all the right fat and brought in a lot of cheaper guys/upgrades.
In just a year, he completely transformed our defence - only Weegar and Ekblad were here when he become our GM on September 2. The cheap Weegar contract? Awesome. Picking up Forsling on waivers? Massive win. Moving "one of the 10 worst NHL contracts" in Matheson and getting back Hornqvist with much less term who also helped the team on- and off-ice? Still unbelievable. Five of our top9 forwards are also his additions (basically everyone in the top9 except Barkov, Huby, Tippett and Vatrano). Despite previously having so many bad contracts, the only one left is Bob now.
At some point I expect some blunders will happen, but right now, things look great.

The 14-15 and 15-16 team was hard working and resilient, the foundation was laid by Gallant. This lasted until about the end of the 16-17 season. After that, it had been at least a half season since Gallant had been fired and the team didnt look much like the one that played hard and was committed to defense.

 

[Shellshockedfrom2011]

Good contract for a very solid player. Florida is gonna look good next year

what? We bought 2 UFA years

 

[Dr Beinfest]

Some of y’all are talking like Reinhart is coming here to Florida and the thought of him putting up 40 here versus last year isn’t possible... remind me, who did he play with last year?
