Yeah, LA says no. Rebuilding teams don't want rentals

You aren't getting Podkolzin

Take out Podkolzin and Canucks accept

would need to take out Reinhart then too

Rumour Mill has Jones going to LA or PHI.
I also believe that LA is trying not to be a "Rebuilding team" next year. That's what GM and players made it sound like anyways with exit interviews.

Too much for Jones and Reinhart

probable not, but Vancouver isn't going to get Reinhart either with just a 1st. especially if we are taking on a bad contract too

reinhart was on pace for 40 goals(if full season) on the worst team in hockey and had no help 60% of year. its and underpay for him.
Jones is a big name RHD so ppl always overpay but i get what you mean.

You can have Lind and replace Eriksson with Roussel but that's the max I'd give up

PHI I can see, but LA just doesn't make sense to me. Even if they are trying to compete next year I feel like doing this without knowing if you can compete is rushed

Take out Eriksson, a fair Trade From Van's point of view is this years 1st Lind and Roussel for Reinhart, any other package makes no sense for a guy walking in 13 months

As a general rule, we're not interested in rentals unless they're very cheap, both to acquire and to pay. Jones is neither. Moreover, we're quite happy with our right side (Doughty, Roy, Walker); it's our left side for which we are seeking a guy under 26 with term. Joes isn't either of those, either. And I know that this is going to sound harsh, but, gee whiz, why did you waste the effort to type Lawrence Pilut into this post?

Then take out the van 1st and it's fair.

LA does not do that deal either.

Reinhart is good but he isn't getting a top 10 pick in this environment. Maybe a late teens early 20s plus a B prospect or 3rd and C prospect

Well, that'd work for the Jackets, at least.

Without Podkolzin that deal is literally awful for buffalo, no way

Don't worry with Podkolzin that deal is literally awful for VAN no up to us to help you guys rebuild right

I understand your feelings. as a buffalo fan i have thought the same thing for years with their trades.

i see you have a #2 overall pick with a 40 goal pace in full season, looks to be going into prime too. best i can do is late first rounder and chip in a 3rd so you feel better.

Maybe the 3 round pick #79 of that 2014 draft is more to your liking. I'm sure you can get him 1 for 1.
Or Philly can give you their 2 OA player picked in 2017 draft who is 3 years younger.
Or the Canucks can give you 2 RDs Rafferty (82 point pace) and Bowey (41 point pace).
Reinhart is good but he has yet to score more than 25 goals and only had more than 50 points once in his career. Pace per year or where a player was drafted has little bearing in a players perceived worth to other nhl clubs. Body of work does. And this perceived goal pace for this year is more an outlier than the norm. So yes what I said is more his value as he fits the need more to a playoff team or one that has a high chance to make the playoffs, than to a none playoff team. Reinhart isn't getting a guaranteed top 10 pick, least of a top 10 pick plus a player recently drafted 10 oa who is in the top 20 best players not currently in the NHL. The Canucks aren't desperate to dump Loui for that

I will guarantee right now that Sam goes for at least 1 1st rounder and a A list prospect. If you looked at the stats all you would see points per game has gone up every year along with being a lock for 25 goals.
I also can think of a player coming out of Colorado who fits similar bill but got a kings ransom for being traded. Final note on this the market is much bigger for Sam then for Jack so expectancy should be an overpay.
