He would be perfect for the Sabres but I'm not sure what a Selke award winner goes for these days .Hmm Ryan O'Reilly would fit in nicely
Malkin is obviously worth the asking price, but with him being 32 it just doesn’t make sense for Buffalo to give up two of their more valuable assets that are both under 25.No trade proposals yet?
How about Risto, Reinhart plus picks for Malkin?
That is so freakishly bad it's already funny. Then again, I didn't expect much else from this thread.While Calgary isn't a good fit, if you ignore all the cap and expansion draft issues going forward, I'd do:
Backlund & Brodie for Reinhart & Risto
But since you don't ignore cap issues, this wouldn't actually make sense.
There is no reason to trade Sam Reinhart. Ludicrous.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes
The reason would depend entirely on the return, would it not?
Reinhart + Risto for Horvat
I don't care for either of Reinhart or Risto, so no.
Reinhart has always been too timid, slow and dainty for my liking,and he doesn't have the hockey IQ, shot or playmaking to make up for it.
He is basically the old slow Gretzky without the playmaking ability or IQ.
He might do decent as a #2 C if his wingers are high-end. Those wingers don't exist in Buffalo.
Two great centers down the middle is key is today's NHL. Look at Pittsburgh, Washington, Tampa Bay etc.
Buffalo's second best center last season was Johan "fourth line" Larsson.
I want a real change in Buffalo and would LOVE to give up Risto + Reino for something great.
Not sure what is realistic, but someone like Point, Aho or Zibanejad would not be a too crazy wish for that return.
Since when are hockey fans this bad at reading comprehension?
I never said he had low IQ or bad playmaking, I said they weren't good enough to make up for his weaknessness. What's with so many people on hf boards using straw an arguments?
Respond to what I actually wrote instead of ascribing me things that aren't true.
Sure right after you add in Hughes. Seriously, first off, the topper on Ristolainen isn't that far off for a discussion on Horvat. You're out of your mind on both.
I am not sure if I'm following the argument here correctly:
Sam Reinhart can't overcome his weaknesses at the NHL level?
Is that the argument? If so, to what end? He scored 65 points in the NHL last year. If you want to argue that he maybe had a career season, go ahead - but...he can't overcome his weaknesses? It seems he already has.
Said someone giving up our second best forward.
Wow have you watched any games the last two years? Iam serious.I get you don't like him but to make stuff up to fit your agenda is laughable.Whatever line they have put him on he has produced.Thats the main reason why most Sabre fans want him on another line to balance it out but continue your diatribeHis weknessnes are physical and mental. For instance, It's pretty hard to change footspeed, intensity and the willingness to engage physically.
And he was carried by Eichel and Skinner.
If he were to centre his own line without any of those two, e would come up short, which is the reason I wan't him gone.

Reinhart + Risto for Horvat
I came here to post this... I think Van needs to make a small add of some kind but this basis works for me.
Most Sabres fans won't admit it but Horvat > Reinhart, he is proven at centre & signed to a better contract.
Hes got one of the best hockey IQs on the team and is rarely out of position, he also is the only guy on the team that plays in front of the net and scores often from that area via tips or garbage rebounds. Dainty and dumb are not two words I'd use for him. Hes not as fast as I'd like for a player his age, and his shot isnt that great, but he makes up for it by being in position more often than not.
So we're just going to throw away Mittelstadt and Cozens? Sounds like a smart idea. :sigh:Reinhart has always been too timid, slow and dainty for my liking,and he doesn't have the hockey IQ, shot or playmaking to make up for it.
