I think Reinhart is getting moved personally

Would you do

Reinhart + Olofsson for Lindholm and Mangiapane

- sbroads24


Interesting you say that about Reinhart because I feel that he is getting traded as well.

Overall, I think more help is needed for the top 6 then some as Skinner, Eichel, and Cozens are the three I believe in (Skinner due to contract).

The top 6 needs a shakeup and for me, that means I'd be looking to trade Olofsson and Reinhart.

Just an idea

I think Olofsson would carry good value based on his raw stats

Olofsson
2 2nds
minor prospect

- sbroads24


Hard to see them giving up Gibson without a 1st,
but it’s a good idea to at least call about him
I like it

What I would personally do:

Skinner-Eichel-Olofsson
______-Cozens-Reinhart
Bjork-Mitts-Thompson/R2D2
Girgensons-Asplund-R2D2/Thompson

Dahlin-Joker
_____-_____
Bryson-Borgen

Raanta
Georgiev

Maybe Sam plays the middle and Cozens plays the right side.

I think we need at bare minimum 1 more top 6 forward. Ideally we add a second top 6 forward that moves Olofsson into the bottom 6 or off the roster entirely.

Send Eakin to Rochester or buy him out.

Trade Risto for anything you can get for him

Give Seattle a mid round pick to take Colin Miller

Possibly McCabe is retained for a top 4 LHD spot but depends on health and if he even wants to come back here.

Interesting goaltending ideas
Is Georgiev UFA also?

Peronally I'd re-sign him, but I don't think he wants to stay.

He feels like a typical RFA for RFA swap where both need contracts

I feel like those guys would be players CGY wants to keep & they’d look to move Gaudreau & Monahan instead bc of age
Maybe Tkachuk if they’re sick of his antics

I'm not as big on Tkachhuk as others as I think he's a ticking time bomb but he'd be probably the best swap we could hope for

I think bringing in “facepunchers” is idiotic
But we certainly could use some grit & attitude and some players who get nasty out there

I’d love to see him beat the sh!t outta Marchand


Last week (i think),
I saw an article that suggested someone should try to steal Mangiapane from CGY
It’ll be interesting to see if they “blow it up” this summer

Meaning Copp isn't enough of a return for Reinhart?

Charts don’t show a player’s “trade value” though

Agreed that Winnipeg would need to add.

Copp was the most interesting player I saw that is also an RFA that will need a new deal like Sam will.

With the flat cap continuing,
trades might still be really hard to make

Interesting idea though about Copp
I’d rather trade Olofsson for him than Sam though

Yeah I'd want more. Where does Copp slot in the lineup?

IDK, I think he's an excellent player

Copp is a good 3rd liner on a good team
For us, he’s likely in the top6 I’d think

What about Olofsson for him?

Copp is a top 2 line RW, or C.

Looks like he's been playing top line RW for Winnipeg this season.

I don't know enough about Winnipeg's roster to know what more would be possible/desirable.

Reinhart > Lindholm
Olofsson << Mangiapane.


I guess it depends on what a possible extension for Sam would look like. I’d prefer to keep him but I do like how Lindholm is under contract for a few years and Mangiapane is a gem.

So I guess I would lean towards yes at this moment in time.

Copp has 14 goals and 20 assists so far.

Looks like it's at least in part due to a bump in power play time.

Is Georgie a UFA also?

- jdfitz77


He is not no. However I would expect the Rangers to protect Shesterkin (unless I’m missing something and he is ineligible to be claimed by Seattle).

I’d offer two 3rd rounders for Georgiev and say take it or leave it.
