To Buffalo:
Mikeal Backlund
Connor Zary
2021 2nd round pick
or
Mikeal Backlund or Connor Zary (Buffalo's choice)
2021 1st round pick (#12)
To Calgary:
Sam Reinhart
All kinds of options for Calgary
Johnny Gaudreau - Elias Lindholm - Matthew Tkachuk
Sean Monahan - Sam Reinhart - Andrew Mangiapane
Johnny Gaudreau - Elias Lindholm - Matthew Tkachuk
Andrew Mangiapane - Sean Monahan - Sam Reinhart
Reinhart can play center or wing, Tkachuk and Mangiapane can play either wing and I've always thought Monahan would be really good at LW.

Good trade. Reinhart + Zary I think makes sense for Buffalo.
24 Jun 2021 11:11:48
Buffalo jumps on that 100%. Zary and 1st for Reinhart would absolutely get that deal done.

Terrible for Buffalo Backlund holds negative value to them. Rienhart is one of the most consistent players in the game and is easily worth more then Zary and a 2nd. Zary and 12th overall would be a solid offer. I bet Vancouver offers Buffalo the 9th overall for Rienhart. Rienhart is a Vancouver native and Benning is said to be looking to aggressively make moves this off-season. That’s his own words from his season ending interview. Something around Rienhart+ for Tkachuk also would make sense in a vacuum due to Tkachuk asking for a trade “rumouredâ€.

@Nylander highly doubt Tkachuk would rather play in Buffalo then Calgary.
12 + Zary is better than 9, so Buffalo would jump on it.
Backlund holds little value so doesn’t make sense for Buffalo to take him.

I didn’t see Zary + 12th for Rienhart. That’s a solid deal. Maybe Vancouver offers the 9th and a prospect to put bid but I think it’s a solid offer.
25 Jun 2021 04:58:51
@nylander all good, I seen that offer and I think it’s solid aswell.

Yeah it's probably even a bit of an overpay but Calgary needs a right shot RW badly and one who can also play center opens up so many options for the top lines.
Tre needs to step up and make a deal for once instead of just blowing hot air about how close he was all the time.
