Re: guess the player?! murray receives surprising trade call

We've been over this, but the Sabres aren't the first team to do this.

If you're going to do something, Might as well be the best...

But continue to live in fantasy land

Fantasies is what keeps Buffalo sports going, With out it, what would you have??

Re: guess the player?! murray receives surprising trade call

Now that the deadline has come and gone, I'm betting the player inquired about was Reinhart.

Arizona traded for Duclair. Apparently they want to put Duclair back together with Domi... his linemate from the WJCs. His other linemate?

Samson Reinhart.

Re: guess the player?! murray receives surprising trade call

I think that's what helped the Rangers land Yandle,

Glen struck a day early, And the Domi, Duclair history was something Maloney really liked, I think if Glen would have waited a day, They would have been outbid.

With all the teams looking for that position, 7 first round picks in 2015 were traded, So you know teams were not gun shy.

Glens been trying for 3 years to get him...I hope Duclair works out for them, In Arizona he will get more playing time, And a better shot to show what he can do.

Like most kids, His weakness is his defense, He's a hell of a skater with some crazy speed, Little on the small side, Pure sniper!!

The way I see it, Rangers got Duclair in the 50% off bin at the dollar store, So if you can use him to get a top notch NHL offensive dman you do it.

Hayes made Duclair expendable, And the team is higher on that Pavel Buchnevich kid.

A fast skating forward with a good set of hands, Buchnevich is a very interesting prospect with an impressive ceiling. Not so big at 6'0", 170 pounds, the Cherepovets, Russia native makes things happen with his speed and skills. Buchnevich is indeed a player who has the ability to entartain the public with his skating and stickhandling abilities. On the other hand, he has still a lot to do before considering himself ready to cross the Atlantic. First, he needs to add some meat to his frame, then he has to improve his defensive game and play a more cohesive game. Buchnevich is a good playmaker and has very good vision of the ice.

I think they are a bit higher on him because he played with grown men in the KHL this year as a 19 year old kid..

He should be here in a few weeks.

Re: guess the player?! murray receives surprising trade call

Here's an interesting thought... someone above the 3 tank teams wins the McDavid lotto, pushing Arizona to the 4th overall selection.

Arizona calls Buffalo and offers the 4th overall pick and another pick or prospect in exchange for Reinhart... thereby uniting the WJC line that was so successful.

depending on what the "and" is in addition to the 4th overall... I'd consider it.

I'm not so sure. Reinhart has been getting glowing reviews recently. I believe the hockey news just named him the best non NHL prospect.

Getting Strome and another high pick or prospect is worth considering.

He was named the best prospect that is in a team's system. Based on everything I've heard, there are 3-5 guys in this year's draft valued more than anybody in last year's draft.

Re: guess the player?! murray receives surprising trade call

What's the cost to move up from 4 to 2?

I have Samson pegged as the future number 2 guy. If moving him got us Strome.... I like Strome. Big guy with skill.

This year it would be prohibitive. Draft picks alone (even for a number of years) would not do it.

My guess it would take a swap of the 4 and 2 pick, next three year's 1st round picks and a young 1st line or 1st pair NHL player.

You are basically trading away Eichel.

Last year's 2 pick. Not buffalo trading the number 2 This year.

I doubt anyone trades this year's 4th overall for who the Sabres drafted 2nd overall last year straight up.

If a particular GM covets him, which is pure speculation, but it might be the other way around. Reinhart is quite coveted.
