The only thing realistic about that Reinhart trade is that those are the pieces you’re willing to let go of, not that buffalo wants them. People seem to forget that when you’re proposing a trade you have to consider what both teams want. You’re not getting Reinhart without this year‘s first round pick going to Buffalo. You might not like that, but you’re not supposed to.

Canucks decline trading that 9th overall pick

You’re not getting a relatively young 60 to 70 point player without it. You don’t have anything else buffalo wants, at least since Hoglander and Podkolzin are off limits, right? By the way, everyone expects Reinhart to get more than $6 million on his next contract.

Sabre have 0 need for a bust d prospect, Reinhart was 11th in the league in goals, without Eichel

Buffalo says absolutely not

Cool. Then buffalo declines trading reinhart

NICE
