I mean you arent consistent with your logic</div></div>

I really doubt they protect him and yeah his contract here is on the lighter side but the focal point of this post was on Reinhart.

Just because he hasn't made any public statements doesn't mean he's not frustrated with his time in Buffalo. Yeah, this is a lot of speculation but that's how you project future transactions in the league. To say my accusations are way off is a little ridiculous man, just look at the team, the season they've had and the last ten years.

Reinhart's been dicked around in contract negotiations with Buffalo throughout his career, he had to sign a one-year deal last offseason. Skinner signed long term because Buffalo gave him a ridiculous contract that he wouldn't get anywhere else and he's from Toronto. Eichel meanwhile signed that deal out of his ELC. You have to take the context and timing of these contracts into considerations.

Buffalo is last in the league, there is no winning now. Also what makes you think he's going to want to sign long-term? The odds are heavily stacked in the opposite direction.

Well for one they risk losing him for nothing in expansion. Another reason being Colorado has a big offseason ahead with major signings like Landeskog and Makar and as a result of tight cap space he's traded.

Thread: Aggressive Offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jdfitz77</b></div><div>It really is that black & white

IF Eichel is traded, & that’s a BIG “if”
Then i could still see us wanting more than just a 1st in a weak draft
We’d essentially just be hoping for that pick to turn into Sam,
so there’s not much incentive to make that deal

Reinhart may very well be named Captain if Eichel is traded</div></div>

I don't think you're factoring in Reinhart's contract situation at all which significantly affects his value. Like I said before, he has arbitration rights and is one year out of UFA. if he wanted he could sign a one-year deal and then leave Buffalo for nothing. Maybe you recoup some value at the trade deadline but it won't be a top 15 pick. Also, I'm just ball-parking the value. Maybe a prospect like Rathbone or Lind is added but this is just the rough idea.

I don't think its that black and white as you say it is. If it helps you sleep at night just consider this a reality where Eichel is traded.

And why would Reinhart want to sign a long-term deal with the Sabres? They are the laughing stock of the NHL and haven't been a competitive team for almost a decade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jdfitz77</b></div><div>That’s gonna be a NO from Buffalo

If we keep Eichel, then we’re trying to win NOW
And certainly not trading good young players for “futures”
It just doesn’t make sense for us at all

Reinhart MIGHT become available if we trade Eichel
But Jokiharju is young enough that we’d keep him- especially since he & Dahlin have gelled together as a pair</div></div>

Reinhart is one year away from being a UFA and has arbitration rights this offseason. They may be similar in age but Eichel and Reinhart are not in the same situation and will be dealt with separately.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>Buffalo has the 2 best pieces in that trade. Big time no.</div></div>

Well, Reinhart for a top 15 pick is reasonable. Lind and some excess value from the pick for Jokiharju I would agree is a bit of a stretch.

Thread: Competitive Canucks

Really not interested in trading away draft picks and trying to repair the roster through free agency. It's these kinds of moves that got the Canuck's in the hole they're in now.

Thread: Best Case

I like that you put some thought into your decisions and gave supporting reasoning but I find it interesting that you didn't make a single move to address the Canucks' greatest weakness on the blue line. Also, i don't think Shwartz and Hoffman are comparables, especially in their UFA positions. Hoffman is a controversial player off the ice but also on the ice as he is great at one thing, with that being scoring goals, but bad at everything else. So it's much riskier to sign a player like Hoffman than Schwartz. With that being said, I think priority Number 1 for the Canucks is to find a defence partner for Hughes.

Someones giving him 9M and if its not Carolina they're gonna be missing out. Hamilton is a top 5 D man right now.

I appreciate the feedback from a caps fan. I foresee some cap troubles for the caps in the offseason, how do you expect the team to deal with them. Do you see a guy like orlov or Ellet being traded? Or perhaps a buyout?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>What about Juolevi? Where would u say his value is at?</div></div>

Right now he's a decent bottom-pairing defenceman who can move the puck but lacks great mobility. He's faired well so far but in a very limited role and in only 8 games so it's hard to say what he'll become. In my eyes, he could become the successor to Alex Edler as a solid skilled second pairing defenceman who can be deployed in all situations.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>well if he gets that bad then we trade him for something like this but as of right now he gets more reps on that 3rd pair than anyone so he should be the last one to get disgruntled.

What about Dermott + Engvall for Gaudette + Rafferty ? Maybe have to balance out with picks a bit</div></div>

From a Canucks stand-point I think they should definitely do that

You're in no rush to move him until he becomes a disgruntled asset because the Leafs have 8 NHL defencemen and his development is being stunted.
