Not a chance LA would ever do this.

Not a chance LA would ever do this.

Any particular reason why they wouldn't? They are adding roughly 50 goals to their lineup. Doughty has stated he wants Blake to start winning now. Risto would be a solid #2 behind Doughty and allow Doughty to play a couple minutes less. LAK now has 3 C's in Kopitar-Eichel-Reinhart.

Sure, they are giving up a lot for the future (i.e. a lot of question marks), but they are getting 3 bonafide NHL'ers.

I'm sure there is some fear because Reinhart and Risto are both on the last years of their contracts, but I think both could be re-signed long term. All 3 BUF players are in their prime.

Not in a million years. If we traded away all of our future stars, we'd look like Buffalo West.

They are adding 50 goals at roughly 18M or they use entry level contracts of all their young core and get 50 goals from their 14M in cap space without giving up a single asset.
