Lot of money to take on, looking at about 12 to 13mill and Saad has 1yr left on his contract.

Id still consider it.

Maybe eat some celery on Chicagos end. Add in a 2nd rd pick.

Kyle Okposo did it, wait no that didnt work
Matt Molson did it, wait that didnt work
Connor Sheary did it, nope that didnt work either
Jimmy Vesey didnt really work their either.

Seems that its proving to be very difficult to find a winger to have chemistry with Jack.


It also seems everyone fails to mention Reinharts 40 assists.

I am not against trading Rhino in the right deal, but if it just creates another hole, why do it. Fix your 2nd line, you have the makings of a decent 3rd line with Kahun Cozens Mojo.

Yup fix the 2nd and 3rd lines. I agree

The 1st and 4th lines were good and shouldn’t be touched.

Adding 2C center that’s been mentioned a bunch of times the past couple years. It will absolutely helps lot players in more beneficial roster slots.

Like Johansson should be on the wing and not play center.

Well we have 1/3 of a 4th line right now. If we can fix the 2nd line, it should allow players to fall were they should be.

Trading your top line right wing for a 2c is rearranging deck chairs on the titanic.

Especially in a season where the pressure is on so that Eichel does not want out.

Getting a legit 2C without trading Reinhart allows Reinhart to slide up and down the lineup without really any production drop.

Agree with that, but then depending on who that 2C is it might just cost the 8th, we shall see, Rutherford really (frank)ed some poop up.

Tanner Pearson is on his 3rd team in 4 years and plays with Pettersson in Vancouver.

Anyone with a pulse should be able to play with a Super Star Center.

Colorado literally acquired 5 of their top 9 forwards this past season (Kadri, Burakovsky, Donskoi, Namnitsnikov, Nichuskin) and gave up Tyson Barrie, Kerfoot, 2nd and 4th round picks and used existing cap space.

Life is only as hard as you make it.

You can take your facts and kindly leave sir. This type of logical argument cannot be spewed here.

This trade takes a
60 point winger and replaces him with a 60 point center. Think you win with assets here, but if you want to be better tomorrow, you get (Monahan or 2c) and keep Reinhart.

No I'm not opposed to trading Reinhart. I just don't want to see a lateral move.

- TheSabresTaco


There are ways to replace Reinhart.

Don't get me wrong, might have to make it a little bigger of a deal. But it does fill needs, just would have to tweak some things.

Girgensons, Sheary, Vesey, Moulson, Okposo, Thompson, Foligno, Bailey, Ennis.. All did incredible with Eichel.

Yup. There are. Find me a move that brings in a center and a RW of Reinhart's quality (and fit for Eichel) that doesn't use 8.
