Reino is not for sale

Makes no sense for either team. Well done.

Hard pass from buffalo, if you want reinhart we need a similar player in return

A rebuilding team doesn't trade two firsts, two seconds, and two valuable assets for any three players unless at least one of them is a #1C like Jack Eichel or a #1 defenseman like Rasmus Dahlin.

????
That package doesn't get you either or even close to either. Vilardi was a terrible pick, dude can't skate. Sabres don't need cal or would even want him back. So it turns into tofoli and a first.

You never cease to amuse and amaze me.

Why would LA get rid of Petersen? He will be their starter in like 2 years... maybe even less if Quick falls of a cliff

Buffalo already has its goalie of the future in UPL...so they have no need for Peterson.

Reinos point totals the last 4 years: 42, 47, 50, 65. All done on terrible teams. He's getting a long term deal and isn't being traded unless its for some ridiculous package (this aint it).

I wouldn't trade Reinhart straight up for even a player like Laine...so this is a hard no.

LOL, 'nuff said

That 2020 1st round pick could very well end up being the 1st overall. No way should LA do this.

I’d rather Peterson than Luukonen any day

Ristolainen, Rasmus for 2020 1st round pick (LAK) + 2020 2nd round pick (LAK) + 2021 2nd round pick (LAK)
Reinhart, Sam for Toffoli, Tyler + Vilardi, Gabriel
Thompson, Tage for Petersen, Cal
Buffalo adds over $4,000,000 cap with this trade,
they are trading a RHD from surplus, Tyler could fit into Sam's spot,
Thompson many think is a bust (I am not among that many).
IMO without Reinhart and Ristolainen I think the team will still be better than last year.
I really like getting the picks, Vilardi, and Petersen for the future.
TBH, I do not see any reason why the Kings would make this trade. They are trading away a future #1 GK, 3 decent picks and future center for immediate upgrade. Are they that close to making the playoffs?
Buffalo is not significantly different without Ristolainen nor Reinhart after adding 3 RHD and Toffoli.

IDK about that. Peterson is great and all but UPL projects to have a higher ceiling.

Its a good debate and Peterson has impressed in his very limited time in the NHL, but the sample size is still small (and yes I understand the UPL has not played any NHL games yet)

UPL coming fresh off a world junior gold, OHL goaltender of the year, winning the Red Tilson Torphy (most outstanding player in the league), makes me lean toward UPL having the higher ceiling.

Since Goaltending is such a crap shoot, give me the guy with the most potential for upside every time.

Pass . Reinhart is not near his ceiling yet . UPL has far better potential than Peterson. Jury is still out on Tage . Larger framed players often develop later getting used to their frame . Like Chara

You make valid points. Both will be good but if we didn’t sign Petterson than you’d have a logjam between the 2 goalies. Seems to have worked for both teams
