Don't care what the case may be, but Tobias Rieder and Arizona are apparently "very far" in contract talks.

Why should we care? He was an Edmonton Prospect that was let go due to poopty management 5-6 years ago.

But why should we still care?
RW, 23 years old, German (LD-Rieder Hyper link), backchecks, and a beast in the transitional approach to the game.

How much is he asking?
3-4mill depending on term of course (3mill for 5-6 years or 4mill for 4 years is the most probable case).

I loved Rieder a prospect. If fact, I'm sure most of us did. It was such a shame to see him go.

A hyperlink of LD-Rieder would be amazing, in fact, we might start calling it the Blitzkrieg.

If Chia can make the move (Yak might be involved in this case), I just hopes he does before someone else does, and I sure that all of us would agree that it would be a damn good move.

Edit: Don't give me any BS about "how hyperlinks containing players from similar countries don't affect their play." Go look at Sweden's defense for crying out loud or the Sedin twins and Eriksson. Yeah, that's what I thought.

I hated that trade from day 1 and I still hate the fact that we drafted Draisaitl over Bennett.

Damn right I agree with that.

However, I really think LD > Bennett. I prefer LD's style of play better.

Really?

I can see some similarities, but I'm pretty sure Draisaitl doesn't have Penner's laziness from what I seen out of him.

Rieder didn't want to sign in Edmonton for concerns of not getting ample playing time (behind Eberle and Yak). As such, management traded him to get something for him. Unless he's changed his stance, I don't see how he's got any less competition now. I don't think he'd be in any more of a fortuitous position now than he was then.

I wouldn't say horrid skating, but you do have a point with inconsistency issues. However, is is still very young and honestly, I think he is goin to get better and better after each year. Don't forget that he is still adjusting to the NHL style of game. This was his first actual NHL season.

He's far faster than Penner ever dreamed of and he's still 20 so expecting perfect consistency is unrealistic (regardless of pedigree).

Precisely why I could see Yak go to Arizona in some package.

Yak is under a contract and at a considerate cap hit that would entice Arizona to make a package deal surrounding him (Reinhart anyone?)

Honestly, you have to admit, this is a possible move that Chia could make. Rieder fits the type of player Chia likes (not height wise though).

Lucic-McDavid-Pulj
Pouliot-RNH-Ebs
Maroon-LD-Rieder (Blitzkrieg tank line)
Hendricks-Letetsu/Cagg-Kassian

Honestly, that is just harmonious and it is quite possible.

Edit: I assume that the amount of ice time between the 2nd and 3rd line will be quite similar (15-18 TOI range) so ice-time will NOT be an issue for Rieder (He is also a great PK specialist).

Just needs to improve his first step. And for the inconsistency issue, he's 20.

I doubt it. His issue before was he wanted to play top-6 minutes which he still wouldn't be getting here. I believe that's the problem with the negotiations with Arizona as it stands.

Yeah, now it'll be behind Eberle and Puljujarvi...
