Value of: Sam Reinhart

[Nucklehead Supreme]

Havent been impressed by Rienhart. Hes not that type of player who can dominate on his own. He needs good linemates to put up points.

Really? In his first real season with the Sabres he put up 23 goals, seems impressive to me, was it because of who he was playing with?

I am really quite intrigued by a proposed Reinhart for Hanifin deal. Slavin has looked fantastic, and with Fleury and Bean in the system, they could probably afford to give up Hanifin to add an offensive piece (especially with Faulk, Pesce, Mckeown and Murphy on the right side). Losing an offensive piece like Reinhart might hurt for Buffalo, but Nylander could presumably help to fill that void down the road, and they would still have Eichel, ROR, and Okposo upfront. Being able to build a defense around Risto and Hanifin is too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Perhaps Buffalo might need to add a little, but I wouldn't think it would be too much. Very interesting idea.

Most agreement I've ever seen here. So, it will never happen.

Don't do it Carolina.

yes and no, he will up your possession numbers and lay some beauty passing for you

his scoring comes a lot from his ability to find a spot in front of the net and pot tip ins and rebounds

so in both cases he's an elite compliment to a good line, Jeff Skinner would adore being on a line with him

his passing and vision are elite, his shot and D play is good, he's a smart fore checker, doesn't have great size to compliment his possession ability, and his speed and acceleration are middle of the pack; so he'll get the puck but he needs someone to move it down the ice and someone to put it on net for him; like Eichel, Kane, ROR, and Risto can
