Additional Details:
Krejci only got one year left. So not a big risk for Buffalo. And Krejci is a really good player. He would be a good center for them until their younger players are ready.

Good looking trade for both teams,

Moore deal isnt gonna get you more than a 6th though
Debrusk plays 2nd line though

So other than the Moore deal and the lines excellent job!

(I believe Debrusk could get more money on a long term deal, but idk)

LASTLY: IFFFF people argue, just say you would switch out Beecher for Studnicka and that should 100% do it

No because Pasta doesnt want to leave the bruins, and the bruins are a cup contender.

If the bruins were a bottom 5 team that needed to trade him away and needed to rebuild, absolutely.

Interesting trade. We will have to see what Buffalo fans think. I think they would like it more if there was an extension in place in that trade.... do you by chance have the link to this article?

Of course it is to you... try studnicka, Debrusk, one of Carlo/macovy and a 1st... yes this is an overpay but he is a superstar #1 center. In other words, he’s not getting traded much less to BOS

No it shouldnt. The only pieces that are on the sabres long term here is going to be Beecher (or Studnicka) and whoever they take with that pick that is probably last in the 1st round after they get Eichel. They aren't going to win anytime soon so Krejci has little value to them, and Grz is an okay piece but not good, and Zboril probably stays in the AHL.

This is like saying that you would take Ristolainen, Pilut, Tage Thompson, Marcus Johansson and their 2nd rounder for Pastrnak...

Its a good trade for both teams. Buffalo needs to move him kinda (or as the article says he really wants out)

And Griz (who is a developing top 4 dman RFA) and Zboril (who will get a real chance with this sabres team)
This is the problem. Yall dont understand what the bruins are even giving up lol

Zboril is 23 and hasnt proved anything other than he's a depth defenseman, which they dont need. Grz is an okay piece, but he doesnt define this trade. In a trade for Eichel, you have to give up someone who is atleast going to come close to being a star player. You can't just throw a bunch of middle tier players together and call it value

Hahaha @catmanv isnt a bruins fan lol
And it doesnt matter that I am, I supported it with an explaination of what the sabres get and why it values them as well.

Future top 6 (maybe elite) Center in Beecher / Studnicka
Top 4 Dman in Griz who can do even better when he isnt behind Krug and Chara
Top 4 Prospect in Zboril who will actually get the chance to play in Buffalo
1st rounder
and oh yeah one of the best second line Centers in the league (who would play 1st line on a quarter of the teams in the NHL)

I was talking to you SILKY. And this guy jumps down my throat cause he didn’t read it properly. The “to you”, once again, was referring you as a bruins fan. Which you are. And it what sentence did I call CATMAN a bruins fan?

Lol you said he would like it because he’s a bruins fan, so he let you know I wasn’t a bruins fan and I liked it. So like I said, that was a false statement.
I’m sorry I misread that! But it’s still not right lol

Studnicka/Beecher


okay let me phrase it this way. Studnicka and Beecher are good prospects, but they arent GREAT prospects. They arent star player prospects. You dont give up a franchise player for who ultimately is going to be a stopgap center until Cozens is ready, 2 bottom 4 defensemen, a prospect who more than likely pans out as a good middle 6 player, and a late first. You just dont. Also, Eichel hasnt said he wants to leave. He said he wants to win. This shouldnt be a surprise, because every player wants to win.
