If he's not playing center then what's the point of having him waste away ?

You upgrade your D

Right but he wasn't an 80 point player when he was moved.

He had 32 points in 48 gms when he was traded.

Duchene is coming off an awful year, but so is all the Avs.

Reinhart waiting to negotiate until next year probably puts off any Kane extension until then.

Wish they would have been able to bridge him now.

Next year if he has a good 50-55 point year he's looking at 5-6 mil

Who says it's Reinhart's choice?

Not that it's a big deal, and I'm very happy we drafted middlestadt.. but how can an 18 year old athlete not do one single pull up?

I can do 10 no problem and i don't work out, at all. Like totally inactive, mind you I'm not 200lbs but I think if I was i could do at least 1 at the same strength I am now being able to do 10 at 155lbs.

I would assume it's his. Could be the Sabres choice, but it makes sense for Reinhart to wait and bet on himself this year

Trading Reinhart for Hanifan is a lateral move, and may even prove to be a risk for Buffalo to do. I think, when both hit their primes, Reinhart wins you more games than Hanifin. It's not like he's Ekblad.

Only argument I could see is top dmen are worth more than top forwards of the same age. At this point, I'd balk at that offer.

josh norris went 19th overall, had similar stats and twice the 5v5 production.

For a guy who is as talented as he appears to be, its suspect that the jump from HS to USHL resulted in stats that are commonly put up by guys taken in the mid to late first round.

Perhaps those mid round guys were closer to their developmental ceiling than Mitts is. Perhaps Mitts needs more strength to score more. Perhaps Botts and all of scouting aren't (frank)ing fritatta by ranking Mitts as high as they did.

If they hit their full potential Hanifin gives you more wins and its not even close. Reinhart projects as a winger here, hanifin projects as top D. again this is if they hit their potential

The risk in this deal for us is that Hanifin's ATOI has yet to eclipse 18 mins a night. its entirely possible that he cant handle it. The risk for them would be that its possible you're giving up a game changer for someone who isnt.

it seems like a pretty fair deal imo

Quality of competition and strength. I can't imagine what else it could be. You saw it for yourself today (or red) the kid was compared to Eichel in the way he can play.

(No, he's not Eichel)
