They do that, make a smart UFA pickup, and this is a retool in short order without raiding the think prospect or draft pick cupboard. No superstars, but solid talent throughout the lineup.

True but if Buffalo does not agree with the value of the trade IMO Reinhart alone is enough. I think Reinhart will sign for similar money to what Tkachuk currently makes where Tkachuk is looking like $9 mil aav. Buffalo might not feel they need to add anything but that shouldn’t block the deal
IMO it makes a lot sense too because Reinhart has shown no interest in signing long term with Buffalo and he remains unsigned now. Contract problem for contract problem but a win for the Flames as Reinhart might not be a contract problem for them. Not sure if Tkachuk is interested in staying long term in Buffalo but he does have 2 years before ufa vs Reinhart 1.
