The only thing locking Reinhart long term would have done was draw a bigger return from the future trade. He was going to want out either way. He’ll, even Florida didn’t lock him up long term right away, starting off on a 3 year deal.

Crap, you got me there. 🍻

Which doesn’t answer the question. 😉

Are there actually any moose in Rochester?

So you’re saying I might need to actually learn his name and stop calling him Boris Becker?

Sorry, I misread that last line.

You went from “if one guy is the team” to a “sum of all the parts” argument. But anyway, when someone says they’ll like to see him without the other good players, it’s not literal. It’s more rhetorical than anything. Obviously you’re not putting any player in a vacuum. He’s damn good, but every player gets inflated a bit with that supporting cast. Having the best forward and the best defenseman. That’s a very nice place to be.

Did you just move the goalposts on me?

Do all the later rounds go to national tv?

I can’t go there when the other guy is MacKinnon. Call me crazy, but I think he’s the best player in the league today.

And yet he’s not going first. So there’s a couple egregious misses right there I guess.

I don’t mean to take anything away from him, but I’d love to see his offensive numbers on a different team.

Does 3 people on a message board count as a riot? Your masses have no idea who any of these guys are.

I’m more curious about how “he was right once 12 years ago” is a great sales pitch.

That was never the point in anything I said. Very simply put, if he’s truly unhappy here, he does not have to come back. He has options. If he wants to continue playing NHL hockey, well the. It’s time to suck it up, buttercup.

Negotiate with other teams. Head to Europe. Nothing's ideal, but if he really doesn't want to be somewhere, he doesn't have to.

I wouldn't say he has no leverage. His contract is up and there's nothing out there that requires him to talk with Buffalo and sign a new one.

Like Ted Nolan, Dan Bylsma, Ralph Kruger, and Lindy Ruff. It's not so much about hiring inexperience as it is about them wondering around aimlessly. Of course fans are going to be upset, but often they don't really know what they're talking about either.

You should go to the mall. You’ll have a ball.

65 is the perfect age to start something new. He might as well be fresh out of college.

Tooth for GM!

I’m not entirely sure what I’m watching here, but it’s so blatantly obvious the difference between the guys who skate through the line and the ones who pull up before they get there.

I'm really sure why you'd want all those guys hiding out in the bushes with binoculars while wives shower.

Now we need to start pitching an angle where Ruff tanked the season to get Adams out of the way.
