to BUF: Tanev and the #5

to VAN: Reinhart and the #8

 

BUF drafts another C with the #5, to replace Reinhart, plus upgrade their D.

 

VAN drafts Liljegren/Makar at #8 to replace Tanev.

 

 

This is the most fair trade yet.  I hope JB does something like this:)

(Reinhart is not playing center)

Or the Sabres keep Reinhart and the pick and take a young left-handed d-man at #8.  Their defence is as bad or worse than Vancouver's.  Taking the right handed, oft-injured, 27 year old Tanev does them no good in the long run whereas keeping the improving and healthy 21 year old Reinhart does.

 

Tanev is a good team's short term solution, not a bad rebuilding team's long term one.

Okay, how 'bout

 

to BUF: Hutton (LHD), the #5 (1st) and the #64 (3rd)

to BUF: Reinhart and the #8 (1st)

 

I'd like to get Reinhart, local boy, good young C. This would solve BUF's need for a good young LHD. I'm assuming at #5 Heiskanen will be taken, so who will BUF draft at #8? The next ranked LHD is Valimaki at around #18 or Hague at around #22. With Hutton, they're getting a good young LHD who's NHL ready, and he just turned 24. BUF could draft another C with the #5 and then an additional LHD at #64, if they want.

I get where you're coming from, but I don't think Hutton, 3 spots up in the first round, and an extra 3rd rounder in a shallow draft year would be enough of an enticement to part with Reinhart.  You can't forget that he pairs well with Eichel.  There's no guarantee that any guy available at #5 would as well.

Actually, did a little comparison of some players and the stats are fairly even. Maybe the Canucks should just stick with their #5 and draft the C they'll need down the road.

 

Last playing year in Juniors

 

Landeskog (OHL)  36-30=66 points in 53 games

Vilardi (OHL)  29-32=61 points in 49 games

 

Reinhart (WHL)  36-69=105 points in 60 games

Glass (WHL)  32-62=94 points in 69 games

Also, those guys are coming off of playing and practicing at centre whereas Reinhart has been mainly used as and practiced as a wingman for the last 2 years.  His winning draw percentage has suffered as a result.

Just curious - what's the general view of the Sabres from their fans' perspective - are they a rebuilding team or are they a team that should have been in the playoffs? Given that they fired their GM, they have been trading for non-cheap players (Reilly, Kane, Okposo, Lehner) and they have a bonafide star in Eichel, I would have thought that they are going for it...

The fans view is that the Sabres are only a partially rebuilt team.  Murray neglected the defence and he built a poor performing bottom 6.  A very solid top 6 is the only thing that the Sabres have going for them.  The playoffs are still 2-3 years away at best.  Being in a position to compete for a cup, 4-5.

Horvat and Hutton for Reinhart and #8 ::D

I have neverseen such a vast gap between fans for valueing a player like what we see from  cdc on tanev.  

Could it be that gms also arent sure how to value him. 

Personally i think we would be lucky to get the 3rd overall and niemi fir him. I would take that right away.

Ok, I'll put my own spin on this:

To Vancouver:

Reinhart

Moulson

 

To Buffalo:

Tanev

Cassels

3rd round pick


Why Buffalo does this:
First and foremost, it provides them with one of the best shutdown defensemen in the league and god knows they need help on defense.  It also alleviates them from a player who is obviously overpaid with two more years left on his contract who apparently Buffalo was toying with buying out anyway.  It also provides them with a prospect (albeit one not likely to break into the NHL), plus they also gain a pick.  Due to Buffalo’s grooming Eichel as a top-six center, they were forced to play Reinhart on the wing.  Therefore, I figure his value to Buffalo is less than it would be to us, with Reinhart not exactly making leaps and bounds last season.

 

Why Vancouver does this:

Let’s face it – we are not going to be contenders for at least a couple of years.  It looks like we will largely be running with our young players as they develop.  Even after signing the players we need to sign, we should have noticeable cap space left over.  Then the following year when the Sedins’ contracts are up, we will have tons.  So we can take on a bad contract like Moulson’s for a couple of years, no problem.  And although he is obviously in decline, he should still be able to put up 25 points a season.  Then we trade him to a contender as a rental for a small return as the end of his contract nears, which should get us back an extra we threw in to make the trade happen in the first place.  Ultimately, it becomes close to Reinhart for Tanev, straight up.

 

What we don’t have right now is a 1st line center with elite potential.  Don’t get me wrong – Bo is great in every way, but I’m not sure if he has high end 1st line center potential that is so challenging to find. (And even if he does, having a Reinhart/Horvat 1-2 punch would be amazing and Bo can focus on being Kesler-like: Shutdown, plus scoring).  Of course, there are no guarantees that Reinhart has it himself - but he looks more promising in that regard.  Even if we were to draft a solid center prospect this draft, he won’t likely be ready to play in the NHL for at least a year or two, and when he does get in the lineup it seems unrealistic to expect he would play in the top six right away. 

This deal also allows us to draft whoever we want, as opposed to being stuck picking the best center left in the draft.  For example - there are thoughts that the value of Makar is still rising.  On TSN they even went so far as to say that one of the 10 scouts they use as a ranking measure believes Makar should be drafted 1st.  Yes.... first.

If Benning deems him as having the potential to be a Karlsson-type player as some believe, then perhaps we snag him instead.  If we plan on grooming a player to be our star defenseman (along with maybe Juolevi) then it would make sense to draft him sooner than later considering the amount of time it takes to develop that position.

Would you consider a Tanev trade for Bogosian, rights to Cliff Pu and 2018 1st?

 

On many boards, I see Bogo as third pairing D and Cliff Pu put up some decent numbers this year.  The 1st pick is for taking Bogos contract off their hands.  

 

Or I am way off lol
