Have the Sabres given up on Reinhart as a centre, I wonder? In any event, ROR doesn't really match their window. They have some really good building blocks but not enough yet. ROR is 27 and expensive at $7.5M. Eichel is making $10M starting next year, and Reinhart is an RFA to be negotiated. Let's say their window is 4 years from now. Does it make sense to trade ROR now for some prospects?

Of they need someone to "protect" Eichel and Mittelstadt, does a trade involving Backlund make sense? Less money, good defensively and can contribute offensively, good team guy. Maybe add Brodie and try and get something else out of Buffalo to even out the deal.
