I am wondering if the Flames would have interest in Sam Reinhart. RS top 6 forward who might slot in nicely with SM and JG.
Every indication is that Buffalo is going to have to hit the reset button on their rebuild and start over. It's going to get worse before it gets better there. Can the Flames pry Rienhart out without having to give up much off of the current roster? Could a mix of pics, prospects (not named Zary or Pelettier), and Kylington be enough? Perhaps I am squinting a bit here, but I wonder if the Flames are showcasing Kylington at the moment. Would a 1st, Kylington, and prospect be enough/too much?
It seems to me, and I don't think I am alone, but the biggest need is a RS top 6 forward for the team. With the quarantine rules being what they are, I doubt the Flames will want to give up active roster players. By building a package around futures, which should be of interest the Sabres, the Flames might be able to add Reinhard without having to sacrifice from the current roster.
For further context, I firmly believe based on recent public comments made by Sutter that he came back to win a cup, and with he and Treliving having two years left after this one, that the Flames could start to leverage picks and prospects here in short order.
