Proposal: 1LD to Buffalo
- Thread starter haseoke39
- Start date
I'm not even sure if there's a second pairing LD available on the market at the moment. Currently, it looks it's just Trouba and probably Shattenkirk - both RHD, and a few rental, spare part types. That's not even getting into that top pairing guys are almost never dealt, so I don't think you'll find many responses.

Buffalo discovered the land you're standing on. Been looking for a 1LD for two years.

Nylander is our only A prospect on wing. As he is in the AHL as an 18 year old just drafted it is tough to get a read and will probably be difficult for most of the season.

I'm sure Buffalo would trade for the right deal. But it would have to be the right deal. Like a Trouba or Rielly type guy coming back.

We've had him for two minutes. Probably not much differently than the rest of the hockey world.
Yuck. Would much rather have Reinhart in the fold.
I wouldn't say he's some sacred cow or anything, but his speed and skill are something we sorely lack. If we're talking about Brodin or Scandella in return, the value is close, but i'd rather just keep Nylander.
Absolutely, but those type of defenseman are going to demand a premium in return, we'd be adding significantly to Nylander in a deal for a defenseman of that ilk.

Prob tough to find 1, best bet was prob Fowler at the draft. I think people underestimate the d market and the price you must pay for good dmen.
I think buffalo is in a position where they should be able to get a good draft pick and draft some dmen.

Rielly + Komarov + 2018 1st for Reinhart + Kulikov + 2017 2nd
Both sides will probably hate it though.

Some say…
Probably the best deal to be had. There aren't exactly a lot of young dmen with top pairing potential available. Larsson cost Edmonton Hall, so Reinhart for Murray probably isn't far off
Tough to get one of those ,just stay the course Buffalo .Burning huge assets ,isnt something you guys should do ,considering how hard the injury bug has ravaged your team .Maybe look to draft one

Marc Staal for cheap. He's actually having a decent year, but that salary is bleh. Plus, we have McDonagh, Skjei and Holden so we're ok on the left-side.
I like Larsson a lot, but Edmonton overpaid in that deal. I'd prefer my GM not do the same. Although Murray has no problem overpaying for a player he covets, so I wouldn't ever say the possibility of moving Reinhart is completely off the table. I do think we could do better than Murray if we decided to move Reinhart.

Thats the thing...Edmonton needed a top 4 dman and very few were available. The market varies from deal to deal. Given how good Edmonton looks....thats a deal that seemed to work out. Sometimes you have to pay to get the players you want. Sure you can refuse to overpay, but you may never fill a hole.
