Second Line Center Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 Wonder if this leak came from Florida prematurely. We didn't have any reason to excite our fans at midnight last night. Quote
Radar Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 I'm thinking possibly the league has issues with this trade and teams trying to work them out. I would think any extension perimeters would have been in place. But who knows. Quote

Never NEVER Give-up Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 Wait a sec . . . We get a #1, an everyday defenseman and a #2 next year for Risto and all we get back for Sam is prospect goalie Devon Levi & a seventh-round pick in 2020 who will play this year at Northeastern University?!?!?!? THAT may be the hold-up!! Unless Levi walks in as starter - we're getting nothing in return IMO. Reinhart is more valuable than an injured Eichel, plus his play is on the up-tick despite the sad sack team we were last year (even played well under the soccer coach)! I'm hoping this is why the deal isn't done + we face Florida all the time and it'll be a nightmare if we give him away for nothing of value and have to see him 8 times each year!. 1 Quote

dudacek Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 Credible sources have reported Sam has been told he’s been traded to Florida and Levi’s camp believes he’s coming to Buffalo. They’ve also reported the holdup is about conditions tied to the picks (plural) involved. We’ll find out when the conditions are sorted out. 2 Quote

aristocrat Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 I get that levi had a great tourney but are we really sure he's worth a sam reinhart player? Quote

I gotta believe that this is what's gumming up the works, as the value of Reinhart-the-longterm-player vastly outweighs the value of Reinhart-the-one-year-rental, and Buffalo wants to maximize return. Because it's been this long, I wonder if Reinhart and his agent are being included in discussions as part of a sign-and-trade. Getting Reinhart to sign a deal that is both satisfactory to Reinhart and the Panthers would inherently be a slow process, especially if the Panthers' office is busy drafting. 1 1 Quote
Buffalonill Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 I honestly think Florida screwed up here The trade wasn't done and they opened their mouth Quote

I believe this is the reason why the Seth Jones trade was finalized before the draft. An expension needed to be worked out, but still can't be signed officially until Wednesday ... UFA day. Quote

He doesn't have a contract currently. 1 Quote
Huckleberry Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 Either he is negotiating with the panthers - Or Zito and Adams thought it funny screwing with friedman 🙂 Quote
