    Bucky is at it again...Remaining in NHL would have been best for Reinhart

    We haven’t even flipped the calendar to November, and it already looks like another lost season in Buffalo. Why not get a head start on grooming their top prospect over the final 72 games?
    Reinhart has little to gain by going back. He has proved he can dominate players in his age group. He would have been better off practicing with and playing against NHL players. The experience would have accelerated his development for next season, when another high draft pick shows up.
    “You’re not going to get that anywhere else,” Reinhart said. “It’s definitely a learning experience. I’m learning how to compete every day with these guys in practice, and they’re all here helping me. It makes it enjoyable and fun coming to the rink every day.”
    Boston faced a similar situation four years ago with Tyler Seguin, selected second overall in 2010. The Bruins developed him on the fly. Seguin was between the third and fourth lines. He played 12 minutes or fewer 29 times. He was a healthy scratch eight times. He had 11 goals and 22 points.
    The following year, after adjusting to the speed of the NHL and learning the system, he had 29 goals and 67 points and was plus-34. He was traded to Dallas, where he had 37 goals and 84 points last season.
    He has nine goals and 15 points in nine games this year. Seguin is one of the best young players in the NHL.
    Boston could afford to keep him on the bench as a rookie and bring him along at the proper pace. He was surrounded by veterans on a team that ended up winning the Stanley Cup. He didn’t make a difference, so there was no pressure to succeed. The same is true for Buffalo, but for opposite reasons.
    If the Sabres are committed to rebuilding, then Reinhart should have been an immediate component in their long-term plan. If he adjusted to the NHL and made considerable improvement before next season, this year wouldn’t be viewed as a total loss no matter what happened in the standings.
    Reinhart would have been under their supervision in practice. They could have overseen his training and diet. They could have kept him on the fourth line or thrown him in the press box until he earned a promotion. Buffalo would have little to lose … other than hockey games. Around here, it passes for a win-win. He couldn’t say as much, but it’s true

    And WBBZ gives him and Jerry Sullivan 1 hour a week to spread horse manure like this?

    If you're on Twitter, give him the business(TBNBucky is his handle).
    John Hemingway(facing certain death): I want to see Buffalo win the Super Bowl.
    David Coltrane(threatening John): Nobody's going to live that long, pal.
