Report: Sabres Extend ROR

[JATMtheJATM]

ok so longterm then... if Eichel is first line center and the future of this franchise and we are committed to ROR for the next 7 years... where does Reinhart fit in longterm...

and don't tell me that you plan to move ROR to wing.

That's not happening at $7.5 million/year. That would be a monumentally stupid allocation of resources for what would then amount to a two way winger.

I disagree completely. That's added insurance to me.

But if Reinhart was moved for the right piece like a young d-man, so be it. But it would have to be a young stud

That's what I was thinking..The answer is, He don't, He will be showcased.

The drafting of Jack and signing of ROR made him expendable.

If the Sabres drafted 3rd this year, This would be a non issue.

[Downinfloflo]

scoring 2 goals a game sometimes was really what made them so dominant. and they probably would have really hung in there with the blackhawks. and they did so well against that goalie with the torn groin.

Rangers are done. they have no prospects, they have big contracts and worst off, they have their delusional fanbase thinking that next year is the year they get through and win it all.

henrik can't stomach a full season and long playoffs.

Figures....

You really don't know anything about the Roster...

The Rangers pay Rick Nash $7.5m a year and Henrik $8, Buffalo pays ROR a 17 goal scorer $7.5 and Moulson $6....So what's that about contracts?

Steapn is 25..

Kreider is 24..

Hayes is 23..

Fast is 23..

Etem is 23.. (Not on Roster last season)

Miller is 22..

Zuccarello is 27..

Brassard is 27..

Nash is 31...He is the highest paid forward on the team at $7.5 (Same as ROR), He makes $2m dollars more than the next highest paid player.

The Captain McD is 26..

Staal is 28..

Yandle is 28..

Klein is 30..

Girardi is 31..

Hank is 33..

Raanta is 26..

Halverson is 19..

Shesterkin is 19..

Hellberg is 24..


Rangers 3rd line is made up of players drafted in the 1st round of the 2010 draft.

They have their #1 pick from 2012 just join the system.

Pavel is Russia, Be over next season, Ryan Gropp was a nice pick up in the 2nd round of this past draft.

Yes the Rangers are up against the Cap, But they also have plenty of firepower if they ever decided to move players like Buffalo did.

When you make the playoffs like the Rangers, And you advance like they have the last 5 years, Players want to get paid.

If any of the guys on Buffalo turn out to be anything like most of you here think they will, You're gona pay out your ass in 3-4 years.

Jacks next contract alone is going to pass ROR, not to mention Kane, Samson, Risto and so on..

But anyway, Just wanted to point out you don't know **** about the Rangers.

[Dr. Who]

Well, why don't you go hang out on a Rangers' forum where people give a damn?

You thanked his post, If you're going to talk about something, Educate yourself a little on the subject.

Hagelin was the only Rag I liked.
Now that he's gone, I'll pay even less attention.

How many times have you been wrong on Jack Eichel and his intentions lol

Same amount time you been right.

im trying to bring jam jam there in steps, but I completely agree that Reinhart is going to be showcased this year in an effort to maximize his trade value.

Its not what I would do though. whats in the best interest of Samson and the organization is to spend the year in the AHL. He's an elite mental talent and an elite passer. Let him work all of next year on his skating and physical development the hard way... in the AHL. Do that and you may have quite the hockey player on your hands.

but that's not their goal IMO.

so yes... showcasing him seems to be where they're headed with him.

I disagree that's the plan. I think they are going to play him for the reasons you listed. He's an elite talent and mind.

Ok... as the 3rd line center?

He'll you could even leave him in the AHL and let him grow for 2 more years he's only 19 (best case in my opinion), No need to hurry him along now.

Sabres front office already knew at the 2014 draft ROR was a #1 target for them at the 2015 draft as far as trades, And they knew what players they would offer up.

Sammy was the insurance in case you guy's did not land Eichel...

Still not a bad spot to be in from the teams standpoint.

It's a great spot and i agree there should be no rush with him.

one of things I noticed Murray said during one of the draft interviews... he is a BPA philosophy guy and went as far as to say that even if you don't need him the higher quality of player that you draft can translate into better return for when you do trade for a piece you need.

My immediate thought when he said that was Reinhart.

[JATMtheJATM]

Ok... as the 3rd line center?

Kids 19. What, you expect him to jump into the NHL and score 60 points? Eichel probably won't even hit that this season.

The point is, He's better off on the 1st line in the AHL, Versus playing on the 3rd line in the NHL.

Exactly... playing him with Foligno and Gionta on the third line isn't going to a damn thing for him.

I don't disagree with throwing reinhart in the AHL. But I certainly don't believe reinhart is being showcased for a trade.

then why play him this year on the big club if you have your top two centers and you agree that another year in the AHL would be beneficial?

and I'm honestly just asking dude.

They think he can play, I guess.

He played wing in rochester last year. Maybe that's where they will put him till he gets comfortable?
