Yes. However he spent most of his last year (perhaps more) in Portland playing the right side. And my understanding of the OP was that it was preferred, but not absolutely required.
Slepyshev, Marino, Platzer, Chase
not much for RH prospects in EDM
You forgot the best one (aside from Puljujarvi who obviously isn't available) in Ethan Bear. Doubt we want to move him, but he's in the right value range for Rieder.
I think too much is being made of Rieder's previous disinterest in playing for the Oil. It all seemed based on the depth chart, and the fact he was a small skill guy automatically behind Ebs and Yak. Since then he's established himself (better than Yak), and we drafted Drai (fellow countryman and good buddy).
I can't say for sure, but I think he'd consider the Oil as an option now (particularly if we moved Yak).
Reportedly the two sides are fighting over about $500000Why again is this dude not signed ? They have cap space and he had a good year
So far, Curtis Lazar is the most interesting name to come up. Would most Ottawa fans go for a Rieder for Lazar swap? Reminds me a little of the Brassard for Zibanejad swap in some ways. Ottawa gets the more proven player that is also still young. They give away the younger, more raw player.
Both players are trusted PKers on their respective clubs.
Rieder is rumored to be asking for less than 3m per season but at least 500kay more per year than Arizona is offering.
He shouldn't break the bank, but he'll certainly cost more than Lazar next season.
Lazar also has the versatility of possibly playing center at some point.
Rieder is definitely a little more proven, though. And should be no worse than a 40-45pt NHL winger with PK ability.
We would hope Lazar has that same upside or better, but he hasn't shown it year (though he is two years younger so it's not apples to apples).
Tough call. What do Sens fans think?
All Flyers right handed shots

Doubt Arizona would want anyone that I have on the table for Tobias Rieder.
If their are any player(s) take your pick(s). Plus add a draft pick.
Tobias Rieder is 23 years old. He has two NHL seasons under his belt.
1. 21pts
2. 37pts
Curtis Lazar is 21 years old. He has two NHL seasons under his belt.
1. 15pts

Honestly it would depend on what Rieder wants term/$$ wise. If like you say hes looking for under 3 mil on a hopefully multi year deal I'd probably do it. I do think Lazar will be the better player long term. But Rieder would help us now, which is what GMPD seems to be going for..
Very interesting concept..
