I would play Mahura Cole and instead of Schenn. Invest in Clifton.

Forsling on one leg is better than Cole ...

Can't see Vegas trading the cost efficient Hague and two picks for in effect one year of Reinhart. Vegas probably doesn't have the cap for the trade next season, never mind the extension of Reinhardt, which of course is kinda of a impractical thought to base a trade off.

I think the Isles would do that. Low risk, high reward. It'd be interesting to see what Barzal could do with someone that can keep up with him.

At a 5x5 deal I would think Bertuzzi would have signed an extension with Detroit

Bertuzzi certainly fetches more or a longer term.

Or maybe he wanted to go to a contender

Bertuzzi wanted to say in Detroit and made that publicly known. He's best friends with Larkin and they were teammates for nearly 10 years. I wouldn't be shocked to see Bertuzzi go back to Detroit in the off-season. Its not like Detroit doesn't have the cap space to sign him and he's having a good playoff run with Boston.

Let’s keep it real he’s having more fun in the playoffs than he ever did in Detroit he ain’t going back

I dont persoanlly know Bertuzzi (and I'm guessing you don't either), so I dont know about his fun meter in either situation. All I can go on are the comments he made about wanting to be a Red Wing.

Family member knows him personally said he’s loving it in Boston

If I had a dollar for every time someone claimed to have someone who knows someone, I'd be a very rich person. Not saying you're lying, but in all the years I've been around forums and place like this, its very rare that someone actually has the connections they claim they do.

Completely understandable people do lie a lot. If I told every one on this site that one of my cousins has the fastest goal in the NHL and another cousin is an ECHL head coach they probably wouldn’t believe however both are true.
