I think the idea that “teams can add someone like him for cheaper” stems from the fact he doesn’t play in the league. He would for many other teams. Maybe not at the deadline but certainly the summer would make moving Reilly very easy. A team like the habs or even the Canucks make sense as a fit for Reilly. It’s hard for me to imagine a scenario where assets are given up.

Enjoy the game!

From a cost standpoint sure, Braun should cost no more than a 5th. Beyond that…you get what you pay for.

Because Zboril is still young? And sure the retention slot maybe doesn’t need to happen. But a young d man (what they want) and a 5th is fine value for schenn. Certainly not many deals would beat this one.

"still young" he is almost 26..
