Quoting: Shibbal18
We can definitely replace Newhook with other prospects. Johansson is just there to replace Jost. Johansson's contract is up and they arent hurting for cap
How about replacing Newhook with Kaut? So,
Reinhart + Johansson for Compher + Jost + Kaut. Buffalo would get 3 good young middle 6 forwards, 1 of which is a proven 0.5ppg versatile forward (Compher) and the other two have 2nd line / 50+ point potential.
I'm not too keen on Johansson as a stopgaps (that is, I'd rather add pieces that are part of the team long-term for team building purposes), but I suppose it would work for us timeline wise as Johansson would hit UFA in 2021 right when Newhook will join and be 3C for a season before taking over from Kadri in 2022.
Landeskog ---- Mackinnon ----- Rantanen
Burakovsky ----- Kadri ----------- Reinhart
Nichuskin ----- Johansson ------ Donskoi
Calvert --------- Bellemare ------ O'Connor/Wilson/Nieto
I guess the key question is whether Buffalo would be happy with that trade? And also, what is Reinhart's next contract going to look like?
