Proposal: Buffalo - Carolina - Columbus

[I am Canadian]

To Columbus:
Sam Reinhart

To Carolina:
Patrick Laine

To Buffalo:
Jake Gardiner
Carolina 2021st
Picks & prospects from either team

NOTE: Thought this was an interesting basis for a trade. I didn't spend much time on the picks and prospects to Buffalo to balance out taking Gardiners contract and value of Reinhart. I'm not sure what fair value/prospects need to go to Buffalo for this deal. Whatcha think?

You'd be better served editing it to avoid such responses by coming up with a much better deal for Buffalo

Wow brutal for BUF, unless those prospects include someone from the other teams' top 3 pool.

 

[is the answer jesus]

I'd want Jarvis in return. Quality prospect for a 1st line player. No interest in late 1sts and prospects that Columbus and Carolina deem expendable. Also Gardiner has a NTC. What are the odds the worst team in the league is on that list? Pretty high I'd imagine.

That's fair, I wanted to generate this type of discussion for picks and prospects. Thank you

 

[CraigsList]

Jarvis would HAVE to be included.

 

[CraigsList]

Not even sure the Canes would do that deal though. I think they want the space to re-sign Dougie before they went for Laine.

 

[MinJaBen]

This Canes fan says leave us out of this. Laine is a great talent, but who knows if he plays up to it or disappears in our system where Rod expects defensive responsibility first? Certainly not worth the risk of the salary he’s going to want. No interest also in moving Jarvis at this point either.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Why is Carolina even in this? Buffalo and CBJ may have interest in swapping those two but Carolina brings nothing to this. OP is a Caniac?

Hell f***ing no

I don’t think so. Looks like a Leafer from the signature.

Nah. Laine isn't worth the contract he will get soon. We already have way too much cap tied up in wingers. Carolina has better prospects than CBJ. I'd rather have Jarvis or something and a 1st.

Carolina is fine without a shakeup trade though so they don't need to do this.

this has to be a product of legal weed in Ontario ..

Well done identifying the root cause.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Lol Canes wouldn't trade Jarvis for Laine straight up, get him out of the conversation here.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the number of teams on his ntc list is equal to the number of teams in Canada.

Anyway, this proposal is a nonstarter for Carolina. Don’t have the space for Laine and I doubt he’d fit in well with the team culture.

I didn't know you got internet in 1986

Sabres say no easily

Congratulations on 5 years of electricity, by the way.

Based on stated location. Jokes of course, it's lovely country up north, and I can't wait to visit again.

But yeah, this deal is not even for any of the sides.

- In principle a three way trade makes a lot of sense. Columbus would trade Laine for Reinhart, which is fair value for Buffalo, but they already have their share of shooters on the wing.

- The third party wouldn't be Carolina. They don't need the risk and don't need the help on the PP.

- I'll suggest L.A. and Vancouver as potential third teams. They could definitely use Laine and have draft picks around the right value - ~9th OA. Any of Eklund, McTavish, Wallstedt, etc... could be targets for Buffalo.

- That would be a really fun trade for Bettman to announce when the pick rolls in.

So what the hell does Buffalo get out of this, this is terrible. Jake Gardiner is worthless.
