- Staal is a solid middle 6 center for Carolina and there's no guarantee Mitts ever gets there.
- Given the sentiment around Risto, I doubt Toronto would trade for him and give up both Kapanen and Johnsson (Tage Thompson hasn't really done much either).
- I don't think San Jose would give up Labanc when they need goal scoring. Plus Labanc should bounce back next year.
- Not sure how Calgary would view that trade. Reinhart helps scoring, but I guess it comes down to are their D prospects ready to step up next year.

Easy no from Leafs

toronto doesn’t want risto

Easy no from Leafs.

Toronto Fans don't want Risto

These goalies

Why would Jordan Staal waive for Buffalo? Fat chance i'd see him waiving to go there.

Leafs laugh and block Adams number.

important distinction.

I would do that trade from buffalos point of view.

Can't say I care for the reinhart trade.

Still trying to wrap my head around the sharks trade

Reinhart is a 20 goal 60pt player , I know Buffalo fans think he's worth a mitt full cause he was drafted 2nd overall but he is you run of the mill 60pt Top 6 F - At Hanifins contract and he's still improving Hanifin is worth more than Reinhart considering Reinhart will be wanting a Nylander deal $7 x 6/7

This is actually pretty fair. Is Reinhart a real 1RW? That's the real question at this point. And in Buffalo he's about to be an overpaid one... I think the Reinhart deal is right about on value wise but...Buffalo deals from an area of weakness (though I like the idea of moving Skinner over across from Olofsson).

reinhart and nylander are pretty darn close in value.

yes, he obviously is.

Today comparing both players side by side - Nylander is > Reinhart - Nylander is the better offensive and defensive player, is more versatile, is literally the best player in the league at zone entries - Reinhart broke 60 pts once Nylander has consistently done it (except his hold out year)

last 3 years 82 game average:

Reinhart 24 goals, 34 assists, 58 points .71 ppg
Nylander 23 goals, 36 assists, 59 points .71 ppg

career total: reinhart 400 games, 109 goals, 146 assists, 255 points. nylander: 307 games, 86 goals, 135 assists, 221 points. seeing as sam played 9 games in his draft year and 79 games the year after, the overall ppg discrepancy is skewed by reinhart playing younger than nylander.

i conceded that nylander is better, but not by much.

Carolina says yes if Staal waives for BUF.

lol, we aren’t using Labanc to get rid of Jones and taking back another bad contract and an equally bad goalie

Easy no from SJ. Add a serious prospect or pick

Ullmark >>> Jones so no thanks to that one

Explain to me why Hanifin is worth Reinhart. I don't understand people's high value on Hanifin, averages 30 points a season which is good for a 2nd pair guy. His advanced stats like Corsi don't pop off the page, he is just above 50%

I’m interested but would you take Sorenson and a pick over labanc? We desperatly need RW and with this trade okpso would be our best RW under contract.
