Inside the NHL: As Sam Reinhart’s arbitration award climbs, how much is too much?

‘Reinhart has wrapped up a two-year, $7.3 million deal he signed during training camp in 2018 that carried a $3.65 million cap hit. It was reasonable to think the Sabres were looking at $6 million and up in an arbitration award. In the wake of the latest deals, you have to wonder now how close that figure might get to $7 million.’
