DarthEbriate Posted October 11, 2020 Report Posted October 11, 2020 Hall likes the puck. Skinner has already learned how to work with Eichel and Reino. I'd think this looks balanced: Skinner-Eichel-Reino / Hall-Staal-Olofsson / Cozens-Eakin-Okposo / Girgs-Lazar-Rieder 1 Quote

I think they'll run Lazar on the checking line with Girgs and KO and run it less minutes to compensate for loss of Larsson. Eakin between Thompson and Cozens. If Cozens and Thompson are really truly good to go, that line with offensive usage could be pretty decent. Behind an excellent top 6. KA should take a bow - we said he still had time, and he converted quickly. Thought it was going to be a trade, Hall is out of nowhere and awesome. Please get a goalie. 4 Quote

I'd figure if they are given more than Sabres feel is right they'll try to move one or either of them. Quote
JohnC Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) No matter how the two lines are configured we have enough genuine top two lines players to put together two excellent lines. It also takes the scoring pressure off of the Jack line and forces the opposition to defend two lines instead of entering each came with the focus on stopping only one scoring line. I still believe/hope that even with the signing of Hall that the organization gets a deal done with Reinhart. Beyond the hockey aspect of this surprising and monumental deal it gives a boost to the hockey fans who have for so long become dispirited and have steadily faded away. As I and others have said patience is a virtue. This is a case where the organization smartly let the market play out and then was able to take advantage of how it shook out. To say the least this is exciting. Edited October 12, 2020 by JohnC 6 Quote

I can't see Victor getting a major contract I mean he's played 60 NHL games, Reinhart to me deserves between $7.0-$7.5m a season. Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 I’m completely shocked and completely thrilled. A gusty move and completely worth the risk. Now do we keep Reinhart also? Does VO get traded. Quote

It actually could work out if he likes it here & wants to re-sign. As he'd be a UFA, there is no reason to protect him as the Scheisskopfen can't select UFA's. Quote
Gatorman0519 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 Olofson has not even played a full season. I cant imagine he gets more than 3.5-4 mill. 1 Quote

matter2003 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 Wow...Sabres suddenly have at least 2 potent lines now...teams can no longer just focus on Eichel's line... Now if the D and goalies could get it together we have a good chance of ending the playoff drought! Quote

WildCard Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 Does he have a no trade clause? Quote
LTS Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 So now one player has come to Buffalo because of Kevyn Adams and one has come because of Ralph Krueger. That's not so bad. 5 1 Quote

I assume VO is here, Reinhart is the only one that gives me pause, but I'm thinking/hoping they get it done. Quote
