depends on what type on contract the avs can work out with reinhart.

From the Sabres perspective, all of this looks good. Devils might need that to be a Buffalo 2nd.

Does Colorado move Girard for Reinhart even with an extension? That contract is a steal...

Some of the contracts are a bit light but you've got space.

Even if Reinhart took the same term as Girard with his old AAV (5.2M) I would still rather have Girard

Hes younger, cheaper, and wingers are more easily replaceable than D men

Casey Mittelstadt is 1C, but at least we have over rated offensive defensemen that will have 50-60 points but still be -20
