Proposal: Sam Reinhart to van

[Asymmetric Solution]

Easy no from Buffalo. More like f*** no.

 

[Cogburn]

I haven't gotten a problem moving our (high) first for Reinhart. Podkolzin along with it is an absolute no go for Reinhart though, as we're expecting him to step right in to a top 9, even a top 6, role as soon as he's here, on an ELC.

As I've mentioned, Eriksson is not a multiyear quagmire, merely a cap offset for a single year. He's only worth a 4.875 cap hit in the minors/on the taxi squad, has a bonus to be paid before the draft(?), and expires next offseason.

If Podkolzin is a must, or no salary can go back (in the Covid cap economy), then so be it. I agree Vancouver has to add to the OP's offer, and I'm flexible in what I'd like to see included outside of the, at worst, 7th overall pick. I wish Buffalo fans well trading Reinhart to one of the other West Coast teams, and hope they get the return their looking for. I'd then like to see Vancouver take a swing at him in free agency.

Yeah we will have money at that time with a lot of crappy contracts gone when he becomes a UFA

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Vancouver is a world class city. Buffalo is not... You can't compare them. Plus I'm not aware of star players wanting out of Vancouver.

But why does buffalo do this?

A 1st in a crapshoot draft and Erikson? Why?

Because Luke Hughes is better then any prospect Buffalo had and it’s not a crapshoot draft.

 

[Cogburn]

Exactly. It's a risk, there are other suitors in play that way, but our consolation prize then is keeping our highest draft pick since the Sedins, and Podkolzin, to take that risk.

 

[Hoglander]

I'd give the 1st and Juolevi, with fluff to make the cap work. But people here are oblivious to how good Rathbone is going to be. Him and Podkolzin are not available.

Which is great too. Either way we win but probably a better team sooner with reinhart but have no problem waiting on whoever we pick this year for most likely 1 year.

Yeah rathbone is going to surprise a lot of ppl in the next few years

Who knows, maybe whoever we chose has the better career? We'd have to see who we get.

Reinhart's definitely the safer choice to improve the team though.

 

[TFHockey]

So the guy is obvs on the way out from buffalo.

Would Vancouver's 1st(top 10) and a cap dump get it done for buffalo

1st, loui Erickson(last year of deal) @6m

Sam Reinhart 5.25m

While that might a great trade from the Canucks standpoint, I don't see the Sabres jumping at it so readily. You have to keep in mind that other teams would be interested in Sam Reinhart. The would probably outbid this offer.

If the situation were reversed and Reinhart was a Canuck and wanted out of Vancouver, would you trade him for a 1st and Loui Eriksson?

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Reinhart

Hoglander + Eriksson

The easy answer, is "no thanks".

I think if the canucks were in your situation we would have to listen to it. Look at ottawa getting 2 top 5 picks you see a lot of hope and excitement there. I think knowing that reinhart wants out is the biggest thing. I like buffalo a lot but is a top 5-7 more valuable than a mid or late first and a prospect?

 

[Three On Zero]

I would assume that players that want out of Buffalo don't want any part of coming to Vancouver for similar reasons.

Article came out about how he wants to play in Western Canada and leave Buffalo

[Boondock]

I like Sam Reinhart and I agree the Canucks could use a player like him in their top 6, but realistically he is a winger and I have zero interest in trading what could very well be a top 2-3 pick in the draft for the chance to sign Reinhart to long term contract that eats into free agency. At this point the Canucks are better off trying to get Hughes and Petey re-signed and spend next year trashing management for their terrible signings and waiting for Beagle, Roussel and Eriksson's contracts to expire. I understand the Sabres want for more, but the Canucks are in no position to be offering even our #1 so it's a non-starter for me. In 3 years when the Canucks top pair is Hughes and Clarke on his elc they will be happy they kept their pick and didn't trade it +++ for a $7million dollar winger for the Horvat line.

 

[Bertuzzipunch]

I have no problem with that either lol but the chances of getting top 2 pick is pretty low

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

Yeah me too. Would let us move miller to be our fulltime 3C and reinhart can play with petey and brock.

This will not happen, Miller is a 1st liner and has proven more than Reinhart, absolutely zero chance if we somehow got him that Miller would be demoted.

Well i dunno if miller has proven more tbh

Reinhart is from Vancouver and has said he wants to play on the beautiful west coast

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

I like Reinhart I do but Miller based on last year, is a PPG player, Reinhart ain't there yet.

 

[Boondock]

The year we trade our 1st is the year we win the draft lottery - this is the Canucks.

 

[Bertuzzipunch]

Putting up 25 goals in buffalo without eichel or really anyone is very impressive. In a 82 game season he would be around the 35 goal mark or more. Love both players but like miller more cause he’s actually a canuck lol

Thanks for the Link. So if Sam Reinhart doesn't want to go to a rebuild at age 26, that's cool. What team exactly on the west coast isn't rebuilding?

Seattle can't technically be rebuilt as it doesn't exist yet

heh True! But I don't see them as cup contenders a la Vegas Golden Knights. Teams are going to be much more careful this time around.
