10M for 3 years? I'd gladly pay him that if we had room. That's really cheap for what he brings...
Just don't sign the guy if we wants 4+. Playing in Europe automatically means a financial loss compared to playing in the NHL, so Rieder will probably budge sooner or later.
Like the NHL did with St. Louis and Sobotka? The NHL might intervene in the case of a Crosby, Ovechkin or McDavid. Rieder, while a good young player, is dime a dozen.
Reider is definitely not a dime a dozen type player. He is one of the Coyotes fastest skaters if not the fastest. Reider is also one of the best all around players on the team. If you only look at stats then I could see where one might think he is though. He's only 23 and played his first full season this year, almost doubling his point total from last year with little pp minutes. The Coyotes have been a bad puck possession team and they also play in Tippetts defensive system, so it's not easy For our players to get points here.
I don't see Reider developing into a legit 1st line winger, although it's possible. He will most likely top out at a very solid 2way foward that could score 25 goals. His floor is probably a very reliable 3rd line winger that can play in any situation.
Time to reunite the Schenns.
BSchenn + Manning for Rieder + Murphy.
NHL will push ARI and possibly NHLPA to keep this kid in this league and not set an example for other upcoming players like him.. Losing talent to a rival league wouldnt be in NHL's best interest. They might force ARI to trade him to another club.
Meh, Just offer him what a mediocre RFA with no track record is worth.
If he doesn't take it, move on
Lots of guys can put up those points with that amount of ice time.
Sounds like he's going to be expensive to sign then. Since he's already a top pairing dman.
It's not always about points.
The days of paying for intangibles are done.

The averages for that group:
Comp. Avg-23yrs-193gp-0.39ppg-2.5yrs-$2.33avg
That's remarkably close to Rieder. I'd say a fair deal for him, looking at those 11 similar players would be 3yrs, 7mil, 2.33avg.
