Sam Reinhart - Best Player in NHL now?

[Waterbuf]

This is why NHL has 3 stars of the week.
He is playing awesome right now.

 

[dasaybz]

Still makes me want to vomit that the Sabres fumbled him so bad. What a stupid stupid franchise.

 

[Strangle]

The Sabres are the best developmental team in the NHL.

You look at all the ex-sabres players who have had success once they’ve moved on from that organization and it really puts into perspective why the leafs refuse to let Marner go

Maurice has molded Reinhart into a 2 way 200ft stud. I doubt Reinhart repeats his 57 goal season though.

What's up with Carter tho 3 assist in 7gp

Has like the lowest goals below expected to start the season in the league. Still generating shots and attempts. Will be fine, although the slow start could eat into his year end totals.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

I think Reinhart is an example of a player maxing out their full potential. We all like to talk about prospects and what their potential could be. It rarely happens. But it's really fun to watch Reinhart become the player that's he's become, and play the way he does.

 

[SEALBound]

I was a little nervous about his play once he signed that big extension but I'm really happy that he's doing well. He's a very easy player to root for.

 

[JKG33]

I don’t understand… he signed his big contract already why is he still trying?

He's not a Toronto Maple Leaf

He has cold stretches, this year it’s early.

 

[DapperCam]

Glad Botterill bridged this guy because he needed to "prove it" when he wanted a long term deal in Buffalo. Nice work there...

 

[RRhoads]

The jinx is strong in this one

Not worried about him at all. He always comes through, especially in the playoffs.

Right now, right now?

He was already that in Buffalo

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

He’s ascended to heights I didn’t think he’d reach. One of the best in the league the last couple years.

The best right now? Probably not.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Based on 8% of a season maybe, but that doesn’t make him the best player in the NHL. It’s like all these threads last week based on 4 games.

 

[MOGlLNY]

I'm not surprised at how he's performed in Florida. Reinhart has one of the best hockey IQs in the league--you could see that in his time with Buffalo (and even before he was drafted)--and he was getting better every year. This is just a natural continuation of his progression as a player.

I think most Sabres fans wanted Sam signed here. But because of a 2 bridge deals and a lack of commitment (should’ve signed him long term the second time around) he wanted to move on somewhere else and the Sabres moved him. Most of our board is happy to see him have success.

But most were ready to move on from Eichel though.

 

[Daz28]

Florida's trade for Reinhart might be one of the best trades in NHL history.

The Flyers gave up more for Rasmus Ristolainen.

Gave them Montour for peanuts, too. I'll assume Mittelstadt will be a top 10 player very soon also if the ex-Sabre trend continues. As a Sabres/Ducks fan, I've been in hockey hell for far too long. Must have done many bad things in several previous lives.

Ex-Sabres are usually a huge part of another team winning the Stanley Cup shortly after they leave, so congrats to the Avs ahead of time.

What's NHL now?

Actual NHL level GM's, who can actually evaluate and identify talent on bad teams, must just salivate for when the Sabres get to the point where they're forced to make changes season after season. Saddest part is, the guy shipped out is usually the lucky one(certainly happiest).

We are finally coming around to blaming Adams. Only took a decade to see it starts at the top with these amateur GM's Pegula hired.

Mittlestadt is next.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Not enough discussion around his shot. When the f*** did he decide to just be a top shooter in the league and how did he manage to pull it off?

 

[aragon416]

wait a minute, i didn't even realize he had 57 goals last year until 5 minutes ago
