Targets in Potential Eichel/Reinhart/Risto trades

[BananaSquad]

Doughty will not be happy if LA doesn’t make significant changes. LA is gonna go all in.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Mike Harrington demands that Zibanejad be included in any deal with NYR for Eichel. So I guess Buffalo should target him right?

More seriously I think Montreal makes a decent dark horse candidate for Eichel or Reinhart.

Mike Harrington is an exceptional clown. Zibanejad not only has a NMC (which he'll 100% use to not be traded to this disaster zone), but is a UFA in a year and wouldn't resign here unless they offered him a contract that'll quickly look worse than Skinner's

Montreal definitely doesn't have anything spectacular enough in their cupboards to make me think gifting a division rival a 1C is a good idea.

Playoff teams that fizzle that will want to upgrade... likely cap coming back in some way

Eichel
Canes - Necas ++
Wild - EE, Fiala ++
Canadians - Suzuki ++

Rienhart
Wild - Fiala
Canes - TT

Risto
Jets - Copp? or Applewood +

What I think will happen...
Eichel - Strome, K Miller, Georgiev, 1st
Reinhart - 1st and 3rd
Risto - Stays and is Captain

What I would like to see happen
Eichel - good player(s) and some prospect/pics (ie Suzuki, Romanov, Kulak, 1st, and likely salary of some kind ie Drouin)
Reinhart - get a player (ie Fiala, Tkachuk - throw in a pic if you have to
Risto - get a player Copp or Wood are ideal
Cap Space - Dougy!!! (it is not insane he has S Ontario ties)

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Here's what i would want (Edit: while expecting disappointing/low returns):

Eichel to MTL for Suzuki, Anderson, 2022 1st

Risto 50% retained to WASH for Vanecek, Hathaway

Reinhart, Thompson, 2021 2nd to MIN for Dumba

Is Kaprizov coming with Dumba?

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

The older core Kings players surely don't feel the same as their fans seem to when it comes to waiting on a rebuild versus winning.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

It's too bad Jarmo already traded PLD. PLD +1st+prospect would've been an obvious choice for both teams.

 

[Selanne00008]

So Doughty + for Eichel ? Imagine the look on Drew's face. That's not what I had in mind guys!

 

[Fjordy]

Obviously, there will be demand for Jack and an LA would be the ideal landing site.

Respectfully wild aren't trading kaprizov for eichel much less for reinhart

Marco rossi, 1st round picks, & fiala is on the table but respectfully, wild aren't trading Joel Eriksson Ek, selke award candidate or adding on much to fiala.

Fiala & rossi aren't going to be available in any reinhart trade

Don't you need 1C? Ok

Respectfully reinhart isn't really a c. He's a really good rw because he's 36 percent on faceoff

 

[Fjordy]

Well he played center and did it well this season, faceoff is the only negative.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Faceoffs are possibly the single least important thing a center does.

 

[Husko]

You could coach for the Sabres with that attitude

 

[Sabre the Win]

Faceoffs are possibly the single least important thing a center does.

Really? Winning a faceoff in the offensive or defensive zone is pretty big.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Yes but if your center is weak at the dot you mitigate it by using a wing, or running another center out to take the draw. Buffalo used to put Larsson out every OT just for the faceoff and then he'd get off the ice

 

[Uberpecker]

Fiala + for Reinhart

is something I could live with. Similar age, both in need of a new contract, Reinhart the more valuable player due to position/handedness.

 

[2 others]

Reinhart never had to do faceoffs. He is a smart guy, he would have figured it out. Remember, Crosby was also weak on faceoffs, and later he made it a strength of his.

 

[sabremike]

The Reinhart situation is so infuriating because literally anyone who wasn't completely stupid knew for the past several seasons that locking him up long term was something that HAD to be done but Botts and KA (And yes this is more on Botts) decided to keep kicking the can down the road and now we are completely screwed.

It is infuriating. If Botterill had just, for once in his career, done the not stupid thing, we could be sitting here with Reinhart locked up for 5 more years @ $6M.

It's also momentary

Other responsibilities are persistent

In the long run, faceoffs have basically no impact on puck possession. There are times it matters more than others (3-v-3, offensive/defensive zone draws late in a 1-goal game), but you also don't need to be a center to take a draw.
