Seems pretty simple. Either JBOT signs him before the deadline or he HAS to trade him. Asset management 101. Now whether the Sabres want him or can afford him or Kane wants to stay in Buffalo, who knows?

GEICO Sloth?

:w00t:

I'm not trying to be the "conciliatory guy", but I've been watching the Sabres for 47 years. I used to live and die with them, and even when they lose today, it still hurts. But my perspective has changed and I think I've earned the right to feel as I do after 47 years.

Got a point when we shouldn't have. Entertainment value was very good. Got to keep hangin' in with them,

Tonight is $10 million Jack. This will be the expectation next year and the 7 after that.

I wish they were aweful, but they're just plain awful.

Maybe we should create the Rob Ray Award: The Sabres forward that plays the most games with the least goals. Could have called it the Leino, Moulson, etc. award but was trying to be kind.

Who gets a goal sooner: Zemgus or Larsson?

I agree. Funny that college players are required to wear full face shields then take them off when they get to the NHL for what I can only believe is some sort of shame on one's masculinity for wearing a full shield (or perceived peer pressure). Make shields mandatory and save teeth, eyes and careers.

I'll be watching tonight, like I have for the last 47 years. They're like family now.

I think that as the league has gone more to speed over the last few years, it has left Sam behind. He just can't keep up. He's Moulson fast and that doesn't cut it. As GM, I'd be less concerned that he turns into Adam Oates for someone else than I am he turns into Luke Adam for us.

Me too. He doesn't have speed and he doesn't have size. Bad combination having to rely on brains and (open for debate) hands. But, they can't let him walk for nothing this summer. Better make a move soon.

They're playing better, but not good enough. The entertainment value has increased though.

You just can't teach speed.

Pull the goalie now. We need all time we can get.

Good time for him to step up and be a leader on the ice.

Hopefully Nylander on Jack's wing. I'd like for Mittlestadt to be the center that Sam wasn't.

Agree. Jack needs someone that can keep up with him. That's why Kane works even though he's not the ideal compliment to Jack.

Sam shouldn't need Jack to make him successful. At this point, ERod > Sam. That shouldn't be after 3 years.

If Sam was a 4th round pick, there would be no kidding and we wouldn't even be talking about him. Not to beat the dead horse of this summer, but the Sabres should have traded Sam before the "Illusion of Sam Reinhart greatness" was shattered by this years' performance. What can the Sabres get for him now (3-4 round pick?)

He has looked good but maybe it's just the "Tallest Pygmy" syndrome.

Forgot Nolan Patrick was even on the Flyers until Marty mentioned his name, He's been invisible thus far.

Really need Sam to start doing something, anything.

Folks on this board have been saying that Lehner is best when he doesn't fall into shots. That was a good example there. He has half way down before the puck got to him.
