Sam Reinhart Acquired By Panthers
3 years agoThe Buffalo Sabres traded a center but it wasn't Jack Eichel. The club moved young forward Sam Reinhart to the Florida Panthers in exchange for a 2022 first-round draft pick and goaltending prospect Devon Levi. Interestingly, the return for Reinhart was lighter than the assets the club received for divisive defender Rasmus Ristolainen — who was earlier flipped to the Flyers. The new Panther scored 25 goals and recorded 40 total points in 54 games with the hapless Sabres last season. He averaged more than 19 minutes per game, recorded 16 power-play points, and fired 130 shots. With his new team, Reinhart could be a strong fantasy option in 2021-22 with a solid supporting cast.
