Mike Harrington: Buffalo Sabres forward Sam Reinhart is having a career year so far. The worst thing that the Sabres could do is to overpay the pending RFA for his ‘career year.’ Can see them agreeing to like they did for Jeff Skinner, saying they ‘had to pay.’
TSN: Darren Dreger said that Buffalo Sabres forward Taylor Hall appears to still be open to the idea of a contract extension with the Sabres. There is still the option for a trade if sides can’t reach a deal before the deadline.
