Description

So my thoughts are yes the Sabres are going into a rebuild. It’s obvious, but they should try to sign some guys in free agency. They will have to over pay but when the team stinks next season trade the guys you sign to contenders for some more picks. Get as many picks as possible. Reinhart trade might be too rich for some but idk I think it’s alright. Maybe make the pick Lottery protected instead of top 5

We wouldn't trade Max Comtois or our 2022 first-round pick for one year of Sam Reinhart.

What if he came over with a guaranteed extension?

Then I could see trading Comtois for him, but not the first unless it was top-5 protected. (You indicated in your Team Explanation that you were thinking of lowering the protection.)

Why do the Ilses need Henrique?

Barzal, Lee and Pageau..... I just don't see the fit there at all.
