Reinhart traded to Florida for G Devon Levi (7th rd pick in 2020) and a lottery protected 1st in 2022.

Reinhart can sign an extension though, immediately. He doesn't have a contract currently.

Isn't he under contract for 21-22 and then becomes a UFA?

no. He's an RFA with arbitration rights.

Either he is negotiating with the panthers - Or Zito and Adams thought it funny screwing with friedman 🙂

I’m pretty sure Adams didn’t tell Friedman anything and I doubt Zito did either.

Given how Adams acted last night, he knew there might be issues with the trade and the fact that it’s out there before it’s approved is not on him.

Sam Reinhart less valuable than Ristolainen 

Jesus the kid must have problems  and crazy contract demands 

 

No cap return is a surprise.

We got beyond hosed.

Well all the good will Adams was building is now gone. Getting a 19 year old prospect and what will be a 20 something first is pretty much trash for a 25goal scoring 60pt winger. Absolute trash and Adams should feel bad.

[IKnowPhysics]

Welp, congratulations to Devon Levi, who will now face an unfair and insurmountable amount of criticism.

Levi better be the second coming of Hasek.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

They must really think the Levi kid is the real deal.

He looks promising, but at 19 he won't play for the Sabres for another 3+ years.

[Buffalonill]

What a horrible  trade my God 

[Eleven]

Levi better be amazing.

[LGR4GM]

Absolute trash trade. You hope your first round pick ends up as a 25goal guy. 

Levi has played well in 1 tourney. That's pretty much it. 

[Buffalonill]

I thought  there was picks horse ***** 

[LGR4GM]

Hell get another pick. 

[Thorner]

Haha Friedman just said Buffalo is in the "fight for wright"

In my opinion, this is a disastrous level return. Absolutely mind boggling bad.  A 3rd string goalie and a high draft pick?  These type of asset managements is what will keep us picking top five the next two years.  I have no words.

[Randall Flagg]

Pretty unreal that this was the best offer. Thank God Jack isn't an rfa

[Rasmus_]

The 1st round pick in 2022, is a good get.  I hate the rest of the deal, but w/e.   ***** management, and incompetence galore.

Doesn’t look great.  That’s for sure.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

There has to be something more to this ... like Samson said he would not sign long term with any team right now and wants to test the market in a year.

Maybe the return is so little that there is a background deal that Sam will sign with the Sabres long term in a year.  

There as to be something like that.

[jahnyc]

What a terrible trade.  I believe Levi was a seventh round pick last year and the Panthers will be good next year, meaning the draft pick will be towards the end of the first round.  No prospect or other player that will be slotted in now into the line-up.  F- for this trade (and an A for the Risto trade).

Adams is in over his head and I don't trust him to improve the team in free agency.

[rickshaw]

A first round pick next year and Levi is absolutely fine with me to say bye to Sam. 
 

Sabres need picks and they are a lottery team again next year so another first rounder works for me. 
 

Sam wanted out and he wasn’t gonna sign in Buffalo. See ya Sam. His numbers will show decline next year.

Friedman mentioned he thinks there will be a few teams "tanking", listed Buffalo 

For whatever it's worth. I know it's just his opinion

[GASabresIUFAN]

Lol. This is so bad it’s just further proof of the incompetence of our organization.
