Proposal: Reinhart + Risto for center

[Jacob582]

No trade proposals yet?

How about Risto, Reinhart plus picks for Malkin?

How about f*** no

 

[Jim Bob]

If the Sabres are giving up Samson and Risto, I would want a center that the fans of the other team would laugh at giving up.

There is a team that has had rumored interest in Risto that has a center that would qualify for the above.

 

[Gabrielor]

No thanks. No player I’d accept for this package would be considered “available” by their respective fanbase.

Just seems like a bait thread to get “what?!, Reinhart is wayyy better than X” posts, or the reverse.

I don't care for either of Reinhart or Risto, so no.

Malkin is too old. We'd want someone 27 or younger.

I like how you tried for additional picks on top. Malkin is too old now to get that type of return.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Move Reinhart to 2C. Move Risto to 2RW. Oloffson 2LW. Secondary scoring is now addressed internally.

 

[Satanphonehome]

The only players I would accept for that package if I was Botterill are legit 1C types in their early to mid-20s - meaning some of the best players in the league.

And, of course, those guys won’t be offered.

OPs version of Reinhart is odd.

Dainty? Samson isn’t going to punch or stick you, but he’s probably the Sabres bravest, most durable player. No one on the team gets into the tough areas and makes plays as much as he does. He takes a beating every night and rarely misses a shift.

How many people know that since Jan. 1 2018, he is among the top 50 scorers in the NHL, with similar totals to Larkin, Couture, Landeskog and Voracek?

Guy needs a good publicist.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Hahahah no hockey IQ? That's a joke right?


Reinhart is untouchable. End of story

While I agree that the no hockey IQ remark by the OP was idiotic at best, you double-downed with the Reinhart is untouchable comment.

 

[Hasekperreault23]

Since when are hockey fans this bad at reading comprehension?

I never said he had low IQ or bad playmaking, I said they weren't good enough to make up for his weaknessness. What's with so many people on hf boards using straw an arguments?

Respond to what I actually wrote instead of ascribing me things that aren't true.

Dainty? What does that even mean? I am taking it you mean not tough enough.I disagree in fact i am pleasantly surprised how effective he is in front of the net and in the corners.He will take a hard hit to make a play.Average skater i agree but it doesn't take away from his elite play making and IQ.To give up these two pieces to acquire a second line centremen makes no sense in my opinion

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

I bet if you offered that package to Pittsburgh, Malkin would be a Sabre....

Are we contenders next year?????

Nope, not even with Malkin

 

[Chainshot]

Move Reinhart to 2C. Move Risto to 2RW. Oloffson 2LW. Secondary scoring is now addressed internally.

Move Reinhart to 2C, move Olofsson to 2LW. Move Risto in trade.

 

[Big Tony]

Hmm Ryan O'Reilly would fit in nicely

 

[Aladyyn]

Read what I wrote. He doesn't have the IQ to make up for his many weaknessness.

Counterpoint: Sam Reinhart's entire NHL career

 

[Chainshot]

It wouldn't be HF without the doubling down. It isn't enough to just say one disagrees, or state that Reinhart as a contributing forward is unlikely to be dealt... it's rolling out the ol' "untouchable" label.

 

[threeVo]

if you watch Eichel and Skinners goal compilation video on youtube, one thing you will see in both is Reinhart making some unbelievable plays to create. Hes on a very short list of players I wouldnt be in any rush to trade from the Sabres roster

 

[I Like Eich]

Nobody except Eichel and Dahlin is truly "untouchable", but Reinhart would be the first asset not available after those 2. Packaging him and Risto makes no sense unless it's for Point or something

 

[Sabrehack]

Why would sabres package Reinhart to get a centre. They are already weak on the right side. I think any of vesey, sheary, smith or thompson would be more likely to be packaged with Risto. The need is a #2C, not a top line guy. I like the idea of Reinhart on the 2nd line though but as a winger as Botts has suggested a number of times.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Read what I wrote. He doesn't have the IQ to make up for his many weaknessness.

Every measurable metric he's produced since entering the league disagrees. He scores 20+ goals, puts up points, and improves the team in every way when he's on the ice (both defensively and offensively)--- even when you saddle him with bad linemates. The only guys in the league I'd trade him and Risto together for are the kind of players who flat-out don't get moved.

 

[Rangediddy]

While Calgary isn't a good fit, if you ignore all the cap and expansion draft issues going forward, I'd do:

Backlund & Brodie for Reinhart & Risto

But since you don't ignore cap issues, this wouldn't actually make sense.

lol i'm sure you would. Reinhart & Risto for 2 30 yr olds, where do I sign?

 

[UnleashRasmus]

There is no reason to trade Sam Reinhart. Ludicrous.

So basically - no upgrade?

Long term, it make no sense, I agree, but next year alone it makes sense. Backlund would be a great 2C for you and Brodie is at the very least a wash for Risto.
