Proposal: Sam Reinhart to Oilers for their likely #5 to #9 pick [upd: likely #9-#10 pick]

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Not saying it'll happen so relax fans but is the VALUE there? Reinhart had a good season with 25-25-50.

Oilers can't pick in the #5-#9 range only 1, 2 , 3 or 9, 10, 11, range.

 

[Newsworthy]

Sam doesn't hold that kind of value. This is a deep draft.
Maybe if you offered Risto instead

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Aren’t Reinhart and RNH very similar?

yup that was made clear to me already. i wasn't sure but now i know what will happen. can't wait for the lottery to happen so we'll all know where the top 15 actually pick and we can stop guessing.

Rather get a player like Dobson than Reinhart
If we have top 3 pick it has to be a lot better than that
Glad you guys passed on LD

 

[mouser]

Nearly an 80% chance the pick is #9 or #10.

I don’t think the Sabres trade Reinhart unless it’s for immediate D help (not a prospect that needs developed). He was basically a PPG player the second half of this season on a really bad team. Sabres should probably just hold onto him.

 

[tsujimoto74]

~10th overall just isn't moving the needle for a young, established NHLer who played at a point/game pace for the second half of the season. It's a step backward for no apparent reason, and looking at historic picks around that range, there's a fair chance the player you get there never becomes as good as Reinhart is now.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

I would definitely be interested in him but this pick needs to be used for defensive help.

 

[Jtown]

Not all Reinharts are created equal.

actually bud, All the reinharts were created the exact same way.

 

[Aceboogie]

Good God no. A rational GM can just pick him up in a years time for a 2nd round pick. Or sign a simialr abled UFA and give up nothing

 

[ManofSteel55]

Pass. But thanks for asking

You really think that next year he’ll be traded for a second round pick?

Either next year or in the short term future. He's just meh and Buffalo will do a retool

Who knows, Gagner lasted for a while in Edmonton, so maybe he will too in Buf.

In any event, there is simply no way I'd ever give up a top 10 pick for him. There is much better players to target. Sam's a fine player, but he's the definition of an average top 6 tweener
