Description
For the record, as a Kings fan, I am 100% against this trade. I do not want Eichel at the cost of Vilardi and 2OA.

But I will explain to you how the Sabres would be the winners of this trade.

Not only is Gabriel Vilardi a 1C in the making, but he had a super impressive first stint with the Kings. Ever since Vilardi's call up, the Kings went 8-1-1.

Byfield, the likely pick for the Sabres at 2OA. We all know what he has the potential to be.

Iafallo, a LW who would have gotten 50 points this year had it not ended early.

If Adam's is truly pushing for this trade, you guys should be happy you are in good hands. This is a brilliant move to consider for Adam's. Again, I hope it does not happen.

Yeah, fake rumors. Because Buffalo doesn't trade Eichel.


Interesting, do you by chance know the definition of 'rumor'?

I know, but anyone can write some kind of rumor on the Internet, this does not mean that this rumor is true, you didn’t provide a source of rumor.

I am sure Blake and Adam's have talked about Eichel. That's what general managers do, they make calls. You haven't done any research on your end. You, like most people on here just want to argue for the sake of arguing. Have a good day, hopefully you will do something with it rather than argue with me on something that no one agrees with you about.

So I found some kind of rumor, but this is a fake site and the reliability is the same as that of Eklund rumors. I did not find other rumors. So yes, there is no faith in such rumors.

If Adams makes this deal fans will hate him, the team will not go into the playoffs for almost 10 years and trading Eichel for young talents will be a huge blow for fans who are already at the limit.

A rumor is a rumor. Again, do you know what a rumor means?

Just throwing this out there, any time an AGM is made with "Rumour" in the title, a link to a source has to be included or im gonna start deleting them.

A rumour can literally be from anywhere but there has to be proof you havent just thought up something and called it a rumour.

Well, rumors are different, if Friedman wrote it or McKenzie is one thing, and when Eklund writes it or such a site is completely different. Therefore, there is no reason to believe that Blake spoke with Adams about Eichel. That's why I wrote that this is a fake rumor.

That is some hyperbole about Vallardi being a 1C. I like him don’t get me wrong. But a big guy with back problems that’s missing an entire season as a teenager is a ticking time bomb. Also his skating could use some work especially if you are calling him a 1C.

He is really good mid-6 two-way center.


He’s a “middle six center” in the same sense that Montour is a “top four D” you aren’t gonna convince anyone else otherwise. Can’t talk outta both sides

Why would I come back with ROR trade? Im not that kind of guy. That was just a stupid trade by Botts who is thank god gone.

Kadri for Kerfoot and Barrie was like 3rd trade they tried. First was Carolina (Kadri had them on his NTC), then CGY for two-way or closer to defensive D TJ Brodie + forward (that got declined by Kadri) so they did that Colorado trade. Barrie was supposed to play with Muzzin and be offensive guy. That didnt play out well and they tried to adjust. They also got Kerfoot who was a 2C in Colorado and perfect 3C for Leafs and still is very good piece (Kerfoot is mid-6 two-way center who had down year and still produced and had very solid defensive impact) who has value and would be a good piece for Buffalo as 2C until Cozens is ready.


It was a joke, not a dick. Don’t take it so hard. You said Tor isn’t into taking bad players for good, and on the surface they did just that. Let’s not get into the “well it was “supposed” to turn this way. Because for example in the ROR trade it was supposed to be Berglund not unfulfilling his contract and giving some secondary scoring, StL not winning the cup, and ROR wasn’t supposed to become god for like 4 weeks during the postseason. **** happens, deal with it. Almost all of Leafs nation would undo that trade, as would Buf and ROR. The only reason I jokingly brought it up is your asinine quote of “TOR doesn’t bring in ****ty players”. Guess what, no GM does that **** on purpose.

So one 1st round pick, 40-50 point winger and a prospect with back issues that can flare up anytime?


It's not a 1st it's Byfield, who would've been 1OA in 2 of the last 3 years.

Right because what the Leafs need is another offensive guy that can't play defense...


He has pretty bad defensive metrics, and unless we move Dermott (who is 23 and has room to grow) I don't see why we need Montour.

I don't think this is a very good offer for Eichel, Iafallo may be from Buffalo but he's a UFA and there's no guarantee he'll want to sign there, if he has no interest signing with the Sabres what could they get for him in a trade at the TDL, probably a mid to late 2nd round pick at best plus he's been playing on a crappy Kings team getting good ice time cause they have few other options which has probably helped his numbers, I don't see him as some major piece in this trade proposed here for an elite 1C with 6 years of term left, also trading Eichel sets Buffalo back at least two to three years from being relevant so at Iafallos age he wouldn't really fit into their window to be any kind of contender, really he's useless to Buffalo, I'd rather have Kupari if I'm Sabres management.

Sure getting Byfield would be great for Buffalo but the other two pieces suggested here have pretty big question marks on them, sorry this hardly seems like enough for a player like Eichel.

Even your fans think that this will not be enough for Eichel, so I'm not the only one.
