Alternate Eichel Trade

yeah that'd be real nice when hayes comes off LTIR

You are right to point the cap reasons for the JVR part. I imagine not taking any long term salary back in the form of older players is part of the reason this trade for JE seems light. I imagine in the flames offer Buffalo had to take SM back. I agree with them not taking any of that long term salary back. But clearly their mistake was how they have handled this whole thing. And he just don't win trades like this.

Yorks not a center so the Sabres still pass. I dont know why, months on, this still has to be said, even after the trade is nearly official: the Sabres dont need d prospects, especially LD

Obviously another trade would have to be made

Hm true that

Unloading Jones and Laughton isn't the worst

Then trade for backup Ingram
