Sabres GM Tim Murray: "We have a forward that we have somewhat of a consensus in the group that is at the top of the forward list."

Prior to the NHL Scouting Combine in Toronto, SabresTV's Dan Dunleavy sat down with Kootenay Ice center Sam Reinhart, who is ranked third among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting

he leaves Toronto with just one interview, and that is Reinhart.

and then today Assistant GM Kevin Devine on Howard Simon show
Around the 5 minute mark, Devine basically gushes over Reinhart, calling him "Best playmaker I've seen in 10-15 years"

That's how I feel as well. Reinhart or bust.

And if FL takes him or trades the pick to someone else who does.....?

Resign Miller and Ott, draft Bennett and trade them all for Reinhart. We can probably keep resigning and trading Miller and Ott at least one more year.

I'm iffy on what I know about hockey these days, really like Reinhart though too.

There's a good chance we get Ott back. Miller- no ****ing way. He wants to be closer to his wife and doesnt want to waste his few remaining years on a rebuild.

Besides that, has a team ever traded up for the #1 pick only to trade the guy before he ever, plays a game in the organization? Has a team ever signed a FA in the off- season only to trade him before he ever plays? This stuff just doesnt happen

I never let logic rule my thoughts on Buffalo Sports teams. I was not being serious. Pains me to have to point it out. Come on now.

Sorry. I spend too much time in the BZ, where people think that Sammy Watkins alone takes us from 6-10 to legit SB contender.

Re: It's gotta be Reinhart

I agree I think it is Reinhart. The guy is a consistent playmaker. We have a lot of muckers in the system like Bennett but no stud play maker

[Ginger Vitis]

Re: It's gotta be Reinhart

At the 2013/2014 WJC Reinhart was always on the ice when Canada was playing shorthanded 5-3..Brent Sutter had the confidence to play Reinhart in that situation over older and more experienced players.. Agree with JAM if Reinhart goes No.1 then the pick should be Ekblad

I could see Calgary looking to get him if want to reunite him with his brother but I doubt they have the fire power to pull off the trade. I hope we don't miss out on getting him though as every report about him has been glowing and personally I prefer taking a consistant performer like Rinehart than the one year onder Bennett. Yet because we have number 2 there's no guarateeing we're going to get him.

no, but if florida somehow does take reinhart, then the sabres luck into ekblad. which isnt a bad thing as he has probably the highest potential in the draft.

no Bennett love?

Re: It's gotta be Reinhart

Oh, I want Bennett a hundred times over Reinhart, even without one pullup.

If Florida is smart, they make Edmonton pay big for the first overall, but if they don't and take a forward, I would trade the pick for Edmonton to take Ekblad. They need a defenseman badly.

But make no mistake, I want Bennett. Ever since I heard Murray's descriptions of the top players, I think he does too.
