Miller last season: 72 points, 59.2% F/O% Reinhart this season: 40 Points, 45.7% F/O% Reinhart last season: 50 Points, 35.7% F/O% I'm sorry guys, he's not a great centre. And doesn't help what the team needs (A reliable two way centre, that can take face-offs, and provide complimentary scoring.). If Buffalo was stupid and took a second rounder and say Virtanen (Who has no value) and Lockwood, then take it and run. But that is doubtful. Reinhart would be a good fit on Bo's RW with Hoglander on his LW imo. The only way I can really see Reinhart making sense is if the cost to acquire him now is relatively low and the plan is to use EP, Miller, and Horvat all centering a line. That creates other problems though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestNuck Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Having been linked to Rastalainen (sp?) and rumoured to be trying to trade up in the draft for Reinhert, I could see Benning trying to pick up the pair in a deal with Schmidt, and Jack or Ollie as the primary part of a package deal. Buffalo would have to take some cap back though... Can Highmore play Center? Or do I remember that wrong? could see Benning looking for a line up like Miller - Petey - Boeser Hogz - Horvat - Reinhart Pearson - Lind - Podz Motte - Highmore - McEwan Hughes - Risto Edler - Myers Rathbone/Juolevi - Hamonic Demko DiPeitro something of that sort. Obviously cap depending on who Buffalo takes back and who Seattle takes. Edler would need to resign at a much lower hit. Not saying that line up exactly but something similar maybe?

BCNate Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I have to think that Benning will be all over a potential Reinhard deal. He is in his last year of RFA, so I am sure Buffalo has a high level of interest in moving him. It seems unlikely he will be looking to re sign long term there given recent trends. Not sure what it would take to get it done. I'd probably start with a package of a couple B level assets like Juolevi, DiPietro, Lind, 2nd round pick, Woo, Gadjovich and see where leads (I'm not suggesting allof these guys, likley 3 tops). Assuming you have EP, Miller, Boeser, Horvat, Hoglander, Pearson, Reinhart, Podkolzin, all of a sudden you have 4 guys who can play C in your top 9, and can roll 3 pretty legit lines out there. If we can get a deal done without giving up a premium asset, we need to find a way to make it happen. I'd be all over Ristolainen and Jokiharju as well.

I would say that Reinhardt has a better history And if Seattle goes for it for Eriksson dump absolutely you take that, but why would they? Looking at how well Vegas did it would be very bad move for them to take on 6 mil in extra cap, and it would be a really bad move for one of their first moves to be undercutting the value of cap dumps. I could debate you further but we disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could debate you further but we disagree There is no way that we should give up a 1st to get rid of a year of LE. We can open up enough cap space with far less costly moves ie. buyout Virtanen. We need to just take our medicine on the LE deal and then be done. I'd do a conditional 22 pick for Reinhart, much like the Miller deal. No way I'd give this years 1st though.

JeremyCuddles Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 It's all coming together. Benning was rumored to be interested in Reinhart at the draft when rumors of trading up were swirling. Depending on where we sit in the draft I'd even be willing to move that pick for Reino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will have enough $ to improve our team next year. Right now you have $16 mill available and likely 6.5 in LTIR and need 2 forwards, 3 defensemen and 2 spares. I'd assume that EP and Hughes take 13 of that, and that Podkolzin, Hamonic, Lind, OJ take another 5.5. Leaves you with 4 or so million to play with, before you factor in a potential JV termination/buyout, or possibly Seattle taking Holtby. Tight, but not dire..

Isn't sam a Ufa in one season though? It's a lot to give up for a one year rental. No IMO it's best to stay the course with drafting high, and developing from that drafted group. I like sam, but don't think he's going to help us get to a cup before he's gone. If we could move Miller or schmidt for sam then I'm in for that, providing we can for sure sign sam long term at a similar cap cost to either one of those two. miller especially is on a great contract.
