6.5 Million AAV per Friedman

only 3 years?

 

[7+6=13]

That's almost exactly what I think he's worth.  Both APR and term.  He's not a guy to give huge money to or a 5 plus year deal.

3 years. Anyone question him being impossible to please on contract now?

No it's a good deal for Sam Reinhart and shows that he is committing to the Panthers.  3 years also allows him to try for a contract with Vancouver in the future should he want the chance to play in his home town with the Canucks.

I wish we would have or could have kept him with the Sabres but it is what it is at this point.

He’ll be one of the best bargains in the league once MacKinnen gets his new deal

He's a nice piece for a good team.

The Florida Panthers have given newly acquired forward Sam Reinhart a three-year contract, with multiple reports saying it carries an average annual value of $6.5 million.

This makes me sad.

Thanks, Jason.

He wasn't signing here for twice that. Good, bad or indifferent to what the Sabres have done he wanted to move on. He believes he's in a good place and signed for less than market value.. Good for Sam.

Well done by Florida, not paying Reinhart into his 30s when he's going to drop off like a stone. Let the next idiot give him that contract. I'm amazed they got him for that aav but the term is the most impressive. 3 affordable years, try to win, then wave goodbye.

Reinhart also did very well for himself.

Fair value now, UFA at 28 after the flat cap ends and after padding his stats and his reputation on what should be a good Florida team.

I realize he would never sign here for more than the year he owed as a RFA.  While he was here though he was my favorite player.  Maybe I'll go to the game when the Panthers come here to play Dallas and wear his jersey.

Right, and somebody is going to be stupid and wheel a dumptruck of money up to him that they will regret very quickly.

Never?  He would have in 2018.

[Pimlach]

What coulda’  been had an experienced and capable GM had been brought in from the start.   It didn’t have to be like this.

Good for Sammy. Fair deal for both sides.

Yep. Fair value for a really good player, but I think the team is will end up being happier about the deal.

Disagree. The bargains will be the fools like RNH who sighed a ridiculous 8 year deal that will be third line money in four years.

Not a fan of the player mentioned but maybe stats wise he’ll fit 

[LabattBlue]

Who cares.  He is no longer a Sabres and during his time here the team was terrible.  Here’s hoping Florida misses the playoffs. 

[jahnyc]

Shouldn't the Sabres have negotiated a bump up in trade return if he signed a new contract with the Panthers?

[Happy Days]

That is more than players such as Barkov, McKinnon, Marchand etc
