Sam Reinhart's time in Buffalo is up. The Sabres announced this morning they are sending the second overall draft pick back to Kootenay of the Western Hockey League. The 18-year-old had no goals and one assist during his nine-game tryout.

Team Canada is thrilled right now.. Reinhart will either play with McDavid on Canadas 1st line or center the 2nd line at the WJC

Re: Reinhart back to Juniors.

just wasnt ready yet. another year in the WHL will hopefully have him ready next year. this was the right move.

that said, TSN was talking a few days ago how its time the NHL and CHL amend their agreement for AHL development.

Re: Reinhart back to Juniors.

Kootenay is awful this year..Reinhart may be traded to another WHL team that is a contender and needs a established WHL player like Reinhart

and while reinhart may not learn much at the WHL level this season, playing in a hyper competitive tournament with the best players of your age group in the world will help him develop.

And this years tournament is in Montreal/Toronto.. Factor in Canada hasn't won gold in I think 5 years.. The pressure on McDavid and Reinhart will be enormous

Good. Get him away from Nolan and away from a league that he is not physically ready for

Not many 18 year olds are ready. Next year he should be ready

Re: Reinhart back to Juniors.

Good move by the GM. Was hard to do. Or would have been for, say, Regier. But it was the right move.

Physically he needs about 3 years of filling in.

Or HGH.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who watched the games.

Absolutely. But he doesn't need to be at his peak to play, imo.

I agree... but he is so slight.

he needs 20 pounds of functional muscle added to his frame at a minimum.

Can he add that by next camp?

[Ginger Vitis]

Re: Reinhart back to Juniors.

If Reinhart did not add any muscle this summer id have to ask why not.. McDavid added 10 pounds of muscle to his frame.. Does Reinhart maybe feel it's not necessary because of his cerebral game.. In any case the Sabres need to be on his ass about his..Give him the tools to get going in the right direction on getting bigger
