Proposal: Edmonton - Buffalo

[YourARumour]

To Edm - Sam Reinhart (3.65m) RFA

To Buffalo - 2020 1st or Phillip Broberg, Markus Granlund (1.3m) UFA, 2021 3rd, Patrick Russel (700k) UFA

-I know Buffalo does not want to remove a key forward from their line up but this return will help them boost their rebuild or they can flip the key assist in the deal to address other needs.

-Edmonton gets a winger to play with McDavid that should complete that top line with either Neal / Kassian on the other side

- Cap works for this year for both sides

If it’s the 1st and not Broberg I’d do it a heartbeat.

Buffalo doesn’t touch it. They need more good players not to subtract the ones they have.

 

[Alikhan Alizada]

It would prob have to be both Broberg and 1st(top 15 protected) for reinhart and small dump maybe

 

[Czechboy]

It's a fair trade and adresses a big need... but I currently consider Broberg untouchable right now.

 

[Toby Flenderson]

Eichel and Reinhart for Draisaitl and RNH

No it isn't. It's absolutely brutal for Buffalo.

Value is awful for Buffalo and it doesn't even address a need. Edmonton and Buffalo make poor trade partners

 

[Homesick]

I dont think the Holland would give up last years 8th OA, a 1st and 2021 3rd for a player that's going to want around 7m this summer.

Horrendous and I'm not even a big Reinhart fan.

You are asking 1 of the 3 teams in the league that most needs top 6 Fs to give up 1 of the 4 they have and you are offering roster jetsam or a mid-late 1st or a D prospect (for a team that doesn't need D prospect).

 

[sincerity0]

What does the deal do for Buffalo exactly? I’m seeing a good RFA go for a good prospect and a couple throw ins.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

No more proposals for Eichel or Reinhart.

The Sabres need to add forward talent, not trade away their best two forwards at age 24.

 

[VainGretzky]

That would be his price at least

Thinking we could do better if we were offering up our 1st + Broberg

Hard no

Based on the skinner contract he might get near 10 million long term.

Eichel and Reinhart for Draisaitl and RNH

I don’t know if I’d do that for just Draisaitl tbh.

And Buffalo needs forwards as bad as Edmonton does, especially since Jeff Skinner has apparently forgotten how to hockey.

Really??

Eichel>Draisaitl
Reinhart>RNH
Imo

 

[Djp]

Reinhart for a late 1st and spare part.....

There are maybe 3 guys in the NHL that are better than Draisaitl, and Eichel, while very good, isn’t one of them.

Draisaitl at 8.5 > Eichel at 10

RNH gets no respect but he’s a heck of a player in his own right.

There’s absolutely zero reason for Edmonton to deal Draisaitl to anyone for anything.

Reinhart is an RFA Skinner was a UFA. So that certainly takes away a lot of leverage. I'd imagine he'll be looking for something similar to the Nylander deal 6/45.

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Meh Buffalo either needs great futures or immediate help. This is a bunch of in between.

Overrating Drais a bit, but I like the enthusiasm. There are a lot of reasons to trade him for "anything" as well. I think they'll sneak in, but it will be fun to watch if Edm has the top two scorers in the league and misses the playoffs. They aren't far from Buffalo in terms of needed a massive shakeup.

About the last thing the Oilers need is a “massive shakeup”, whether they miss the playoffs or not.
