Reality is Kane is going to get $6m on the open market. Is that where the league is at now, $6m on 3rd line wingers?
That said, I thought Reinhart looked good yesterday and liked the idea of him in Flames silks.
I’m still against trading Bennett for the time being. I think he’s one of the only players on the Flames who’s motor is always going. It’s everything else that he needs to adjust.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a deal of
Backlund and Brodie for Kane and Reinhart. 2 for 2, a real hockey trade.
Let Bennett and Jankowski fight it out for 2nd line C and perhaps Reinhart has something to say about the position as well.
But a forward group of
Gaudreau-Monny-Kane/Ferland
Tkachuk-Jankowski/Bennett-reinhart/Kane
Ferland/Kane-Bennett-Frolik
Mangiapane-Hrivik-Brouwer
