Reinhart traded to Florida for G Devon Levi (7th rd pick in 2020) and a lottery protected 1st in 2022.

Bob, was horrid for the Panthers for the most part.

I wouldn't worry.  Bob would have to waive his NMC.

[erickompositör72]

I am sad. He proved he could be a solid center for us, and we wasted this when we really needed it. 

[Billznut]

I’m thinking the timing seems interesting considering, end of the night. Buffalo is drafting first up tomorrow. Perhaps that pick is going to Florida along with Reinhart. So this could be a multiple piece trade. Pick 33 and Reinhart for pieces back.

Anyone still hopeful that analytics is playing a part in today's action?

Welcome. The return better be huge to trade a star in the division.

Why am I feeling this will be a panic move with a poor return?

That's currently the most valuable pick in this years draft, hard to see trading that along with a top forward like Sam.

My only jersey has Ristolainen on it. I know how you feel.

Let's see.  Perreault retired before New Year's 1987.  The only other one who pops to mind is Bill Hajt.

But why else the sudden urgency by both teams to get something done right NOW? Before 33 comes off the board. Just a suggestion that it could indeed be involved.

Sam is a great player who is only going to get better, but he did NOT want to be here anymore.  Hopefully the return from FL is huge. 

Answering the why players with leverage not wanting to be in Buffalo is critical.  Because,  If you ship out players and accede to their demands, eventually you'll be left with little but prospects and journeymen.   

 Columbus had the same scenario happen today and they keep having to unload elite players.  Little wonder some teams are entrenched in the basement of NHL standings.

You may be right, if so, it will probably be a pretty significant return.

I'd pay good money to know how many Sabres actually do.

It certainly feels that way.  Of course I have no clue but it feels like the presence of Karmanos is bringing out the confidence in KA.

It's always good to have an experienced guy helping to confirm good decisions. 

[pi2000]

Hoping Verhaeghe is part of the deal.

[Huckleberry]

Damn, hope its for lundell +knight

[slugspirit]

I hope this return is great. 

Hopeful for Lundell. Pipe dream for Knight. Likely to see Tippett. How many pieces though?

I would agree. I’d have to think IF it’s 33 + Reinhart it will be a major piece or pieces coming back our way. 

[Gatorman0519]

Can’t wait to see the return

Friedmann said the Sabres and Panthers have been working on the deal all day.  Could be Lundell and Fla’s 1st next season.
