Eichel Deal to VGK

Buffalo is getting fleeced here, replace the 3rd with a 1st, and either Hague or Coghlan with another foward and then I think it’s better.

There was a rumor that said this was the ask from Vegas for Buffalo, but with a 1st, and Friedman said it wasn’t true.

Edit: just noticed the 6 million for Dubnyk, yeah, that would be such a Sabres move haha

Pens decline. They don’t really need retention on smith if it’s gonna cost a 1st rounder. I doubt Zucker would waive for Buffalo anyways.

I saw that friedman said it wasnt true. Since that rumor came out, everybody is trying to post their comparables to a trade rumor that wasnt true. And for dubnyk, adams hasnt overpaid for a goalie YET, so im hoping he knows better, although i thought boston overpaid for ullmark (minimally in term) and apparently he took the same deal from boston that buffalo offered him- so maybe dubnyk at 6 isnt all that far fetched.

Sabres are going to need to get to the floor and a one year deal on an experienced goalie they can flip at the deadline maybe their only option.

A first to upgrade at wing and free themselves of $3,000,000 in cap this season and $5,500,000 next season is relatively cheap. They are in their window now, they aren't going to care a bout a late 1st rounder they maybe a player in 5 years.
