      Im giving you my honest assessment of him. He needs continued work on his skating and his weeeee hips (strength). Let him do that for a year or two in Rochester with the occasional timely call-up. It will be apparent when he needs to stay.
      I'm being honest too. Remember when grigo was up the first time? How out of place he was? Nevermind production, he just was terrible. Now watch reinhart. Is he elite? No. But is he in over his head? No. He's going out there and blends in. Because he's not out of place. 3 times this year the sabres scored this year because of his willingness to go to the front of the net and screen a goaltender. It shows he's willing to do the little things. The production will come.

      But, if the sabres feel rochester is the best place for him, cool. But right now, I don't feel that option needs to be exercised.

        You avoided my question because you know that Reinhart will never be the player Pastrnak is and will be.

        You invested all that losing and got a lump of coal.

        I would be in denial as well.
        I absolutely do not believe that. Reinhart is an elite prospect whether you like it or not. And I'm hardly the only one to think that. But it's not like your validation is needed.

            Hometown is 45 minutes away. Just jump on the expressway and go east.

              comsidering the hockey culture of Blashill and the Red wings philosophy on prospect development, I'm surprised you don't agree

                My boys are playing Silver Sticks Regional. If we win, we coming to Port Huron for the Silversticks championship in January. You should make the drive if it happens.

                  No, I generally do agree. But you also have to remember the detroit hockey is a machine designed to compete year in year out. The sabres aren't there yet, so letting the kids grow together makes sense. Most prospects absolutely need time in the AHL. Honestly, reinhart will probably spend time down in rochester at some point. But he did have a great camp, and he is showing flashes.

                        Our first game would be Fri, Jan 22nd at 3:00PM against the Midland, Ont regional winner. Like I said though... we've got to get through our own regional first.
