The Sam Reinhart trade is official: Florida sends a 2022 first-round pick and prospect Devon Levi to Buffalo.


YUCK
- Stripes77

Sam like his partner Captain Jack are high skilled players with attitudes that deflate their true value. Remember the Skinner trade that looked very good until you see why they wanted him out of there.

So Risto and Sam for:

2021 1st rounder
2022 1st rounder
2023 2nd rounder
Robert Hagg
Devon Levi

I would have liked a bit more
- Stripes77

Levi is the Wild Card here. If he turns into something, we'll look back on this with a poop eating grin. Crapshoot, I know.

My God a 7th round pick and a late 2022 1st?
I was under the impression you guys were getting a lot more than that.
- optimus-reim

We got a 7th too? Sweet!

I really think sam's RFA status hurt the value. Plus the '22 1st round picks are "more" valuable with the strength of the draft.

Seems fair to me for one guy we all hated and another one who seems to hate buffalo cause his lover said so.

If Levi keeps developing then absolutely

A late round goalie that turns into something...

Goaltender is the position that has the best chance of developing from the late rounds.

Before the Trade Deadline the "insiders" said the Sam market was cold now it was was supposedly really hot and this was the best for a one-year rental.

Lots of money off the books.

It’s why you should draft one every year.

Levi looks like a great prospect. Don't care he was a late round pick. The guy crushed it in the WJC.

If someone told you that you were getting the best goalie from the past World Juniors you would be happy.

I agree.

Isn't a known around here he wants to play in Vancouver. I'm sure other teams were well aware of it. Considering teams that are interested probably discussed an extension.

Eichel market must not be good if they can't even get Montreal to bit.

Bergevin had to write that statement last night in advance of his selection so was occupied instead of wheeling and dealing

F it let him rot, he made his bed now he can deal with it.

its fine. sabres need to hold their ground on eichel.

Big run on goalies in the 3rd round... Kolosov, Gaudreau and Hamrla all off the board.

Don't believe that to be true, teams not willing to pay the price yet. Still plenty of time.

Hopefully Florida struggles next year and they get a good draft pick because that's very underwhelming IMO

More than what the Rangers got for Buchnevich but still disappointing

Sad mid 20's RFA forward market.

The market between the defense and forward market is a hilarious delta.

yikes the first we got is lottery protected

Maybe 39 is onto something
