guess the player?! murray receives surprising trade call

[JATMtheJATM]

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.

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.
