The Sabres can easily avoid offer sheet mayhem by electing arbitration with Reinhart, which they have never done with him to this point. He would not be eligible to receive an offer sheet, and only be able to negotiate a long term deal with Buffalo. If he didn’t want a long term deal the Sabres can sign whatever the arbiter awards and trade him anyway. If they wanted to this is, which I don’t believe they do. But if Reinhart wants out Buffalo ensures they get the return they want.
