Description

This is purely for discussion out of curiosity. Florida and Pittsburgh are in a similar situation with their top players Guentzel and Reinhart.

I'll concede given his 200ft game, Reinhart is a little more desirable than Jake, but overall, while very different style players, they're both on a similar level in terms of their levels of production.

Let's say that Jake doesn't want to return to Pittsburgh and Sam doesn't want to return to Florida for whatever reasons, but they're open to extensions with the other's teams. This question is for both Pens and Florida fans; would you do a swap?

Depends on what Dubas decides to do at the deadline. If were planning on selling off some pieces I wouldnt do this

I think Reinhart fits Florida and Guentzel fits Pittsburgh.

I don't think a trade would benefit either player.

I dunno. When you have guys like Sid and Barkov, skill guys like Jake and Reinhart could fit right along.

No, not selling and I know I'm proposing kind of an unusual situation because FLA is in no danger of missing the playoffs so rocking the boat wouldn't make much sense, but situations like this are rare in general.

It's still a very lateral move. If they're going to move on from Guentzel it'll be for assets not a rental!
