I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed with the return
- Sabresfan-365


I think so too, why I haven't wanted to trade him at all but if he's not going re-sign? I have no problem paying the guy 6 mil per either. There is going to be a great big hole on the left when/if he is dealt

Forgot the sarcasm font. Wasn't it if you turned 25 in the NHL, your career arc is all downhill from here.

Play Samsonite with ROR and all of your wildest dreams will come true. I've been saying it for years folks, and it really isn't even close. I'm not always right, but I aint ever been wrong.

Hanzal got a nice return

Dis right here^^^

If we can trade Reinhart for a 2/3 d man and then replace his production with an older guy like Vrbata we are without a doubt better on that day. Sure long term might differ but we'd be a lot better in that moment.

That said I'm not sure I'd trade Reinhart for Tanev

Versteeg? Sure
- sbroads24



U only have to do it for as long as u want though
I don't really care

Just can't believe you'd want him here

Versteeg, Vanek(not that u said him), etc
Those guys aren't what we need

And Oshie, Vrbata, and anyone else who had a good season last year will get offers from better teams
Only reason for them to come here would be if we overpaid them
And that's a horrible idea

Agreed.

Depends on the trade.

You can probably draft a guy at 8 that will come close to Reinhart's production down the road.

Better than Reinhart plus the defenseman we could get for 8th overall?

Nope
And Vrbata isn't signing here

More like
Versteeg & Tanev <<<<<<<<<< Reinhart & Tanev

Oh I don't care. I have just been too lazy to change this one.

I have this one literally to trick grebe into thinking I was Maxsignal and never changed it

Aren't we building for the next 10years though

Trading Reinhart for a defenseman should be our LAST resort
Unless it's for a guy like Ekholm, etc
A true (young) top pair guy
Not Tanev, Brodin (& I like him), Vatanen, etc

Nyquist or Tartar would look nice as our second line RW IMO

For me it's more about age. If we trade Reinhart I want it to be for a guy under 26

edit: I love Ekholm but I don't even know if Reinhart +8th gets him

lehner needs to be moved before anything happens though

- homiedclown



Honestly is Peterson is gone and we can move Lehner, acquiring Fluery would be my dream scenario.

I'm leaning towards hanging on to Kane until the TDL. A year with Eichel should get him 30 goals, and make a huge difference for a borderline/playoff team.

That worked out really well for Vanek and others they got nothing

Kane is 25 & has the ability to score 25-30 goals
Yeah, he doesn't get assists
We all know
U purposely cherry pick & talk about Kane's points instead of goals

Versteeg is over 30 & has zero upside

Versteeg averages about 11 goals per season over the last 5 years
Kane is capable of 2.5xs that

Again...
Versteeg SUCKS

- jdfitz77


But he's not Black so therefore an upgrade over Kane.
