from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,
Eichel hogs the headlines in Buffalo, and rightly so.
But Sam Reinhart’s trade value may never be higher, and this summer seems ripe for a trade.
Kevyn Adams should take advantage of Reinhart’s abnormally high 19.2 shooting percentage.
The 25-year-old Reinhart ($5.2 million cap hit), who is coming off his most productive campaign (25 goals and 40 points in 54 games), could take the Sabres to arbitration, get a one-year raise and walk as a UFA in 2022.
In need of top-six forwards, the Devils, Canucks, Blue Jackets, Kings and Red Wings are among the teams who could benefit from Reinhart’s offence.
Reinhart’s faceoff work and two-way game are improving, but he’s still a guy who starts 60 per cent of his shifts in the O-zone.
