I'm not a fan of Oduya. I think he works on a team full of superstars and a strong captain. I can see his silly penalties and almost no offense being a problem on a young team trying to learn how to win.

Are you sure? I don't think I've ever seen Oduya take a silly penalty. He's a pretty smart player.

Although I'm fine with adding Oduya, I do agree he's not an ideal fit. However, it's not exactly raining top-4 Dmen at the moment and he's a monumental upgrade over the on-roster alternatives.

He is a smart player and he does play some tough minutes against the top lines, but yeah, he often takes penalties that he just doesn't need to take, IMHO anyway.

I should add that he's gotten way better at it. He used to be a lot worse, but that just makes me question whether the team he is now playing on is a factor in that.

Oduya isn't going to light the night on fire offensively, but he will give you 20-25 reliable minutes a night and skates really well, so he could give you 25-30 minutes if called upon. If Bylsma wants a team that clears the zone quickly and safely, he's the guy IMO. 

 

He's  just a solid worker that you don't much notice out there but can log the minutes. 

 

Not a sexy choice. But he'd definitely fit.

I'd hit that.

Here's my latest line-up, with a top lefty D the one glaring roster hole at the moment which I assume GMTM is still busy trying to fill:

 

Kane - O'Reilly - Reinhart

Moulson - Eichel - Ennis

McGinn - Girgensons - Gionta

Foligno - Larsson - Deslauriers

 

??? - Bogosian

Gorges - Ristolainen

Colaiacovo - Pysyk

 

Lehner

 

Johnson, Weber, McCormick, Legwand

2 years ago my future lineup included:

Kane McEichel Kane
Moulson O'Reilly Ennis
Foligno Reinhart Girgensons


There's less than 1% chance of it happening but I would offer up

Reinhart, Moulson, Larsson, 1st 16', 1st 17'   for #88  (The hope was he would hit UFA this summer)

I would be astonished if Patrick Kane played for the Sabres while under his upcoming contract.  I also think this team should give Reinhart an actual chance before trading him off.

I don't understand all the reinhart trade proposals, yes we need anoterh top 4 LHD after trading Zadarov.   But we need to be patient, one will come up cheap when cap strapped teams are with their back against the wall in two months.

I agree, trading Reinhart at this stage is dumb.

The reason there is less than 1% chance is it makes zero sense. Then you put moulson and reinhart in a lineup with Kane? Didn't you just trade them? Lol

Judging by what I have witnessed and heard this week, I will probably be wrong. Sam Reinhart will be a winger in the fall for an unknown amount of time, before transitioning to center.

But he'll still be fine, right? :p

Besides Reinhart saying he is willing to play wing, what is the supporting evidence?

See?  Wasn't that difficult.
