Description

Eichel talk starts around the & minute remaining mark.

Anaheim - A team that knows they can live without the player for this season

St. Louis - Under the radar team lurking, but hard to see if they want to contend for the playoffs

Calgary - Has done their due diligence

San Jose - Makes sense if they can get Kanes contract off the books and want to move towards being a younger team.

Looking for input from each team on what should be added or subtracted from each trade to make them feasible.

Each trade is just Eichel at this point happy to add from a Sabres perspective if needed. (I also forgot to add Eichel to each trade and didn't want to redo them lol)

Eichel is not coming here. But if for some f'd up reason he does I can assure you this organization will not trade Eklund. NHL is leaning toward a suspension on Kane according to Kypreos and will be allowed to resume his career after. Highly doubt termination is possible. Coe is also highly touted in the org. And if we wanted to get younger we wouldn't trade our youngest talent for an older guy with a friggin herniated disk.

I imagine SJ would trade their 1st this upcoming draft. they really want to make the playoffs but they simply would not move Eklund. Hertl would never waive for Sabres, either. So I think it's moot.

i feel like BUF would want a good NHL caliber player going back like Hertl or Monahan to trade at the TDL

The Ducks shouldn't do that. The 2022 1st is just too valuable without any protection. I don't think the Sabres would accept anyways.

ANA package looks a little light compared to the rest but I guess it depends where that 1st rd pick lands. Personally I think that's too steep of a price for the Blues when the Sabres are running out of leverage. 3 NHL ready guys - one who's already an impact guy - and a guaranteed 1st for a guy with a serious neck injury and a nasty trade request situation. Plus there's the cap situation, gonna be hard to make a team without Thomas, Neighbours, Perunovich and a 10m center instead... but the star power would be pretty awesome to add. If Tarasenko replaced Perunovich in that package it makes it more interesting... BUF would have to figure out a 3rd team to flip Vladi.
