I would trade the #8OA for Reinhart straight up.

Does that mean you're voting for the LA Kings?

I think the Oilers would be more likely to offer 1st + 2nd than Holloway + 2nd. They really like their pick and he's 1 year closer than who'd they'd get this year.

Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa , Vegas and possibly LA would all be accepted

Not sure, in terms of "most likely". Just commenting that I'd do that if I were LA.

20th overall is a pretty steep drop from the top 10

Vancouver or Ottawa - isles, preds, and oilers decline.

Make sure to vote for one of the two

Why would Cagary give up an additional 2nd when Ottawa's 1st is just 2 spots higher?

No chance NYI trades Wahlstrom for Reinhart.

1) We have major cap issues. Having Wahlstrom on an ELC is crucial.
2) There's plenty of reason to think Wahlstrom can be better than Reinhart. I think NYI is willing to take that chance.
3) I don't think the Reinhart family would be happy about Sam going to NYI after what happened with Griffin.

I feel VAN could accept but Loui Eriksson would have to be included in the deal to offset the salary. we are right up against the cap and can't take anything on without something going out

I would vote for Ottawa if the throw in Connor Brown.

Or I would vote for LA if they threw in Madden.

I wouldn't trade the #8 for Reinhart. It's the Kings' single biggest trade chip and they need a 1LD more.

1. According to the draft simulator on draftprospectshockey.com, the 10th overall is basically equal in value to 12th + 44th in 2021.

17500 vs 17400.

You can see for yourself.


2. Whoever the Chicago Blackhawks pick at 11th could be a factor if Buffalo, Calgary, Chicago and Ottawa all want the same player at the draft.

It would be an even bigger factor if there was a huge dropoff in value between said player and the next best player available.



3. A case in point is when Ottawa traded 12th overall plus a 3rd for 11th overall to get Logan Brown in 2016.

Multiple teams were after Logan Brown at the time and Ottawa gambled that New Jersey would have taken Logan Brown at 11th.

Otherwise, Ottawa wouldn't have wasted a 3rd round pick for no reason other than to move up 1 spot in the draft just to pick the same player.



4. How badly does Calgary need a Top 6 right-shot RW that can score goals like Sam Reinhart?

It's what GM Treliving was searching for during the regular season until it became clear the Flames would miss the playoffs.

If Brett Ritchie is playing RW on the second line with Gaudreau and Monahan, you should know that something is not right with the Flames.

1. Who gives a **** about some draft simulator. This year there isn't a huge difference between like 5 and 15.
2. There won't be a huge drop off between 10 and 12 this year.
3. Past draft tiers don't mean **** all for this year.
4. the Flames were trying everyone in that spot, Bennett, Ritchie, SImon, Lievo... etc. If the Flames were as desperate as you are making them out to be, they'd have moved Lindholm back to RW and moved Backlund up to 2C.
