An additional 1st next year. Plus 2+ extra early picks. Just think really hard about that. Seriously hard about that. That's the haul you'd give up for a person who's highest point total is 65 Ehlers Connor Nylander All produce at a fairly comparable or in Connors case, better clip than Reinhardt. Would you give up 2 firsts, 1 unprotected in the top 10 the other only unprotected if it is top 3 and 2 additional early picks ore more for any of them? For reference, this is more than was given for Kessel barring the player added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could potentially set up forward group Hoglander - Petersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Reinhardt Gadjovich - Miller - Podkolzin I know it's early to pencil Gadjovich in but having a heavy line like that would do wonders at wearing down the opposition and would be able to be sheltered with primarily neutral and ozone starts. I know giving up the picks is a lot, that roster would be in tact for another 4 years and with the d moving forward looking like Hughes - free agent Schmidt - Myers Rathbone - Hamonic Juolevi The team has a few years it could go without a first round pick He's an average top 6 winger and a terrible centre. He isn't even worth a top 10 first round pick. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a gamer sure, but he's not worth the valuations people keep throwing out especially when his contract is up at the end of 2021 https://www.capfriendly.com/players/sam-reinhart Thank you Hippy.

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 You can't have an NHL team where one centre, takes every second face-off. We are burning Bo out. I had no issue if Benning traded Gaudette for a two-way centre that was good on face-offs. Losing Beagle and Sutter, and Petey put in a gap this team couldn't fill. Reinhart is below average on face-offs. The team doesn't need wingers. We need centres who can defend and score and win face offs, and ease some of the load off of Bo.

I was thinking Pearson, Juolevi (seems like we’ll never play him anyway) and a 2nd rounder next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) These sorts of things are why the Pearson signing didn't make much sense. Reinhart is better and younger... he would be more expensive, but add Virtanen and Pearson money and you have Reinhart who would be a really interesting piece on a Horvat line as he is a playmaker (which Horvat is not).. or maybe as a 3C but he probably doesn't fit the mold there and would be a better winger. We will have to see where Buffalo wants to go. They said they want players who want to be there (which is no one... but that is beside the point). That means Reinhart and Ristolainen are almost certainly going to be on the move. If we could do a trade that gets us Reinhart and Ristolainen... yikes that would be a tidy piece of work. Throwing in Schmidt, and lottery protected 2022 1st round pick, and whatever else maybe... I am just trying to imagine possible lineups with some deft manouvering and willingness to give up some futures to move out a little cash. Miller-Petterson-Boeser Hoglander-Horvat-Reinhart Pearson-Tierney-Podkolzin Motte-Beagle-MacEwan Hughes-Hamonic Edler-Ristolainen Juolevi/Rathbone-Myers Bowie You share that 3rd pairing LD between the two young guys to develop them and hopefully in a year they are ready to move on from Edler. That is basically an entire roster mostly set for a couple of years until you have to replace Beagle/Hamonic as the remaining older players.

Yes it looks good but unless we manage to offload Eriksson + Roussel's $9m cap hit, there's no way that roster fits under $81.5m. And that is a lot of future picks to trade away. The 2021 lottery 1st to BUF, multiple picks to clear LE+AR, plus picks to acquire Tierney. 100% agree that the Pearson signing was too early, both from a Seattle ED perspective and now the cap situation when good targets are available. Another factor is that Tierney and Risto only signed for one more season, so might be better to work towards this roster over next two off-seasons and get Tierney and Risto for free as 2022 UFAs.

Moving Schmidt out takes care of one of the salaries... ya we would have to move out Roussel and buy out Virtanen to get it down to about $84 million depending on what guys sign for (assuming both Edler and Hamonic are at least $2.5 million each)... and maybe even convince Seattle to take Holtby. If Eriksson would retire after getting his bonus it would solve a lot of problems... but we can't count on it, certainly not with timing that would work for us.

Imagine having the cap space to get potentially Larsson to play along side Hughes and make a top 6 acquisition I wouldn't argue against first round pick but I would argue against a top 10 pick which ours likely will be. I also don't think he would be that cheap. I see Buffalo saying the same things you are and know he is an RFA and likely want a first plus hoglander or something like that. I just think that is too rich for a team that really struggles defensively and need to land a top 4 young dman somehow. Also, I don't see anyone taking Eriksson.

Unfortunately the Canucks are going no where with the 9 million they have tied up in Lou and Eriksson At least beagle is said to done for his career, same as Ferland so there's LTIR relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
