Sabres send first-round pick Sam Reinhart back to juniors

The did the best thing they could po sibly do for the development of their first-round draft pick, Sam Reinhart.They sent him out of Buffalo.The team announced on Friday morning that it has sent Reinhart, after giving him a nine-game look in Ben McLemore Jersey the NHL, back to his junior team, the Kootenay Ice of the Western Hockey League. Had they kept him in the NHL it would have used up a year Mason Jones Jersey of his entry level contract and that wasn't going to be a benefit to anybody.Really, this was the only sensible move the Sabres could make. Reinhart has a chance to be a wonderful player in the NHL, and if the Sabres ever crawl out of in an effort to load up on top draft picks, Reinhart is probably going to be one of the players responsible for it. But it's not going to happen this year. And it's not going to do Reinhart Tracy McGrady Jersey any good to play 10 minutes a night for a team that might win 25 games if everything goes right. And it's not going to do the Sabres any good to use up a year Jeff Green Jersey of his entry level contract in such a season.This allows Reinhart to continue to work on his game, develop and dominate while not going through the frustration of struggling through some growing pains on a bad team in the NHL.In nine games with the Sabres, Reinhart, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 draft, recorded one a sist and averaged just a little more than 10 minutes of ice-time per game. With Kootenay he scored 36 goals to go with 69 a sists in 60 games. Overall, his junior P. J. Tucker Jersey career to this point has seen him record 254 points, including 99 goals, in 203 games.
