Glug Datt Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 sorry, no idea what 'tags' are or where they go... Apparently Sam hasn't signed yet, and Buffalo is likely set for 1 & 2 C with Eichel & Skinner. So it looks like if SR is to play in the middle, he might be 3rd in line..? sabres seem to have heaps of centers, enough to get by so.. 2 questions... 1. Could SR be a bonafide 1st center for the canucks, assuming EP stays on the wing.. 2. BUF doesn't seem to have a back up goalie.. what would it take for them to trade SR? Markstrom, Hutton and a 2019 second? That would leave room for demko or dipietro to jump up into the nhl... educate me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 This is the new version of Raymond, Ballard, and a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Problem I see with this is that Skinner doesn't play center, he plays wing. Even if Reinhart doesn't play center, they can still move him RW. Would be nice to have Reinhart but I don't really see any reason for Buffalo to move him, especially not for our scraps.

I suspect the top 2 centers for Buffalo are going to be Eichel and Mittlestadt. Sam will be the Sabres top RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Has Skinner ever played center in his life? Lol. Last time he took more than 100 faceoffs in a season was 7 seasons ago. Markstrom Hutton and a 2nd doesn't get you a game worn Sam Reinhart jersey, let alone the man himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 papa paul, said, he'ld love it, if all his boys played for the canucks. you can't have too many centers. he doesn't have great speed but like bonino in pittsburg, put him with 2 speedy guys and he could shine. he was a high first rounder so, i'ld imagine that they would want a first and a good prospect. i can't see us giving either up.

Alflives Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Sabres might make Sam a checking center. That might be a good role for him, and would keep him in the league. We have Bo, Pettersson, Gaudette, and Sutter. No room for Sam here either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Sobotka and Berglund MIGHT be acceptable centre depth after the O'Reilly trade but I find it unlikely that they'd be ok shipping out a decent young kid still under a moderate contract. Eichel Reinhardt Ristolainen Nylander Pu Mittlestadt DAHLIN That is a very very solid young group of guys to be giving up one of their better pieces for...scraps? Would you take Will Borgen, Jonas Johansson and a 2nd for Gaudette or Sutter? The answer is no you wouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinhart is a good top 6 RW for the Sabres. He doesn't need to play centre in order to stay in the league as you put it. Putting him at centre on the Sabres would make zero sense.

Putting him at centre on the Sabres would make zero sense. Does Sam skate well enough though to be a top six winger on a winning team? He’s not a physical guy either. However, his hockey smarts are elite. He could become an excellent checking center. To win Cups teams need those guys. Eichel and Middlestadt aren’t playing wing, and aren’t going to be 200 foot centres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there’s a worry that he’s not going to stick in the league as a top 6 player. Checking C to keep him in the league.

If he puts up those numbers, from a checking role, he’d be one of top checking centres in the league, and make the Sabres a MUCH improved team.

It’s like putting a trailer hitch on a Ferrari so you can get the trailer to campground faster. Regardless. My issue is with you saying “it’ll keep him in the league”. Like he’s a borderline NHL player. He’s not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he’s a borderline NHL player. He’s not. As the youth climb into the Sabre’s top six, I do wonder about Sam’s future there. He is definitely not a Ferrari. His skating is his biggest issue. If anything, he’s more a Fiat. He will need to find a bottom six role, or he could be gonzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
