And after this wretched season is all over, I can take a long shower and wash all this loser-rooting slime off my body and get back to being a proper fan.

What chances are we giving Reinhart to make the roster next year?

I think "very good" chance seems about right. Although he doesn't turn 20 until November 6th, if that effects his AHL status. I'll be rooting for him to be up with the big club.

As a CHL player, you become eligible for AHL when you turn 20 (a la Grigerenko) or you've played 4 seasons, whichever comes first. This will have been Reinhart's 4th season in the CHL so he's eligible for the AHL next season.

Thanks for the clarification. Silly arcane rules. I still see an NHL spot for him next year regardless...I hope.

I brought this up a loooong time ago and someone commented that they assume mcEichel AND Reinhart will be playing for us. I mentioned a fear of us looking like "Edmonton East." its some thing the front office has to be careful of. mc Eichel, Reinhart, and Girgensons is a mighty young team of centers.

this is exciting

Must have been something in the water....

And Grigirenko, and Larsson probably too.
Maybe they do start Reinhart in the AHL?
I also think it's a real chance he makes the team, but starts as a winger.
Allows us to ease him into things, and we don't have someone at RW with 1st line talent, so it kinda makes sense in that regard as well.
What are our other top line RW options?
I guess u could move Ennis there.
Then the 2nd line is Moulson-Reinhart- ???
Third line would then be ??? -Girgensons- ???
Who fills those spots?
Foligno, Gionta, Hodgson, Grigorenko, Larsson... New player?

I can endorse a second line off moulson, reinhart and ennis

I think reinhart will make both players excel

I like that too...
But who plays top line RW then?
Hodgson get another shot? Maybe Foligno?
I certainly hope not Gionta
Tough to see Larsson or Grigorenko getting a shot right away.

I think the top line RW will be brought in this off season

I can live with a folignom girgens, gionta 3rd line

Idk about that
I think a lot of ppl are assuming Murray will bring in another top forward, but I'm not sure why?
Those deals are hard to make...
Those guys are rarely available. And there's a particular age range Murray is looking for. Also, some of those who might become available (marleau, sharp, etc) will have NTCs

Besides that, I really think Murray's #1 objective in the offseason will be to trade for a young goalie

Jones from LA.

Lehner from Ott.

Bishop from TB.

Those are probably the obvious ones, I would think.

Who else?

Bishop might be too old (28). I do think he'll call about Vasilevskiy though.
Murray mentioned he's talked to some teams about young goalies & would revisit in the offseason. My guesses...

Allen (StL), Gibson or Andersen (Ana), Subban (Bos) & Fucale (Mtl) all come to mind.
Sleepers might be Pickard (AVs) & Mrzac (wings)
I also think we'll go after O'Connor, who's gonna be a free agent as soon as the season for Boston U is over.

As far as how old he'd go, my guess would be 26, which would include Bernier. He's a guy I've wanted us to trade for forever. He's doing pretty decent on a horrible Leafs team that's given up. I think he'd be a good backbone while our young defense develops into one of the league's best.
