Description

I debated a number of options for trading Reinhart for a 2C then opted to go for the 1B. Florida cuts money in the long term (or at least buys cost certainty) as they can sign Reinhart now (in theory) for less money ($6-7M no state tax) than Barkov will get on his new contract in 2 years. Cozens gives them a cheap potential replacement with long term cost control and no way this deal gets done without a first. Matheson also appears to be a contract they want out from under for some reason (maybe Weegar & Yandle) and gives them a better 2nd line RD than Stralman. Short term cap increase for long-term savings.

Other trades considered:
Reinhart to AZ for Schmaltz & a 1st (could also add in Hutton -> Ranta angle here)
Reinhart & McCabe to MTL for Suzuki, Alzner (dump), and 1st - they really need a RW, cap dump Alzner to maybe chase Hall
Reinhart, Mittelstadt, & McCabe to DAL for Hintz, Honka, 1st, and probably something else - Can't really see them doing this as they need a 2C as much as they need an RW.
