Report: Sabres Extend ROR

[JATMtheJATM]

now ask yourself why they would do that...

Because he's young? They have plenty of centers? Sometimes centers move to the wing?

They have plenty of centers?

yes.

and if you agree that a year in Rochester would be in Samson's best interest... then why play him on the wing on the big club when I think most would concede that his talents are better suited to play center?

the answer I'm coming up with is that they are going to do whatever they can to showcase him in an effort to move him.

i think they're making a mistake with him by jamming him onto the big club.

very few GMs are going to try and move their first pick from their first draft, one year later. especially a gm like murray who was a good scout.

and moving reinhart to wing doesn't make sense to me. i'd rather have him slide down to 3 or 4 center and be a playmaker and make the team deep than have him try to fit into a new position on one side of the ice.

that's just me.

the only way i see reinhart going is if top defenseman being offered is a no brainer top d.

Like a 20 year old stud? Yeah, same here. And we already got one of those

It's july. He's not jammed on the big club yet. If the sabres feel he's ready, well, then they would know. But they've also said if he's not ready, he would go to rochester.

just think things out man... there's a reason they are talking about his improved confidence... there's a reason hes talking about his willingness to change positions...

Yeah there is. But it's not a trade. It's because he's improving and looking the future star everyone thought he can be.

maddening.

You didn't trust me on the ROR idea.... and it went down almost exactly as I outlined. You came around on it as it looked like it was more than just a pipe dream.

I'm telling you dude... Reinahrt is a CENTER prospect and is an asset that is likely to be moved for another piece like a top pairing defensemen. Why... because we are committed to ROR and Eichel longterm.

How is that you can't see that he's the odd man out in this scenario?

You also came around on ennis and myers too. Relax. I don't see him getting traded. Him or ROR can shift to a wing, no sweat. Especially since the sabres are short on the wing. Girgs is moving to a wing too

Wings for everybody..

Wingers are a dime a dozen.
