blackhawksdown Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 We need a LW, he is that. Offersheet him now at the 2.5miilion 2 years like he wants. What could go wrong or what are the problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sygvard Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The problem with offer sheets (and the reason they are largely extinct) is the ill will it garners with the other team and GM. They have to ask if Rieder is really worth burning that bridge and being able to trade with that team again. Frankly with the amount of "old boys club" that happens in the NHL management, I wouldn't be surprised if their were a FEW GMs that would give the cold shoulder to anyone that broke ranks and started offer sheeting.

Odd. Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 We don't need Reider. We already have similar players in Baertschi and Rodin. He'd be redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawksdown Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Fair enough, surely we have an asset to trade to Phoenix for Rieder. RHD or picks. "Arizona? Hi, its Trader Jimbo. Do you guys know how to fiĺl these offersheets out? Ah, nevermind..... so Rieder... take Sbisa for him?" I doubt Winnipeg goes with Arizona, as Chevy never does anything .

billabong Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 rieder projects as a depth scorer like baertschi but you can never have enough young depth talent. at 2yrs at 2.5m offer sheet will cost us a 2nd pick....go figure eh but that is a fair trade off.

Yup. Also, he's a year younger and has produced the same as sven in about 15-20 games less? I was thinking of this too... seems like a good idea IMO. Chances are he'll be better than anyone we'll pick in the 2nd round anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
