Lines probably need to be shuffled,
but it's not as bad as Bol7z makes it seem...
Reinhart will cost more, but u overpaid Baptiste...
so just take away 1.5m from Baptiste & add it to Sam's cap hit
Reinhart would probably take a 5x5 deal,
maybe a little less $$$ depending on this season
Baptiste won't get anywhere near 2.5m unless he plays in the top6 all year & scores over 20 goals
I guess that's possible, but pretty unlikely
As far as the trade goes...
I think you're giving up too much
First, why 2 picks?
A 2nd & prospect should be enough
Demers isn't an all star or anything, and kind of had a down season last year
Second, we wanna be faster...
so swap out Bailey for Fasching
Fasching + 2nd for Demers
I think that's in the ballpark of working IF they actually do wanna trade him
New lines:
Nylander-Eichel-Baptiste
idk if the kids are ready to hang with Jack yet, but if they are... speed, skill, scoring... could be awesome!
Bailey-O'Reilly-Okposo
Bailey provides speed & grit to our top defensive line
Mittelstadt-Reinhart-Pominville
should be a really nice 2way line that scores & could be a tough matchup vs other teams 3rd line
Girgensons-Larsson-Rodrigues
actually love this line vs other 4th lines out there
