Quoting: sabres89
If the sabres are in it, and hall has chemistry with eichel, the sabres may be looking to extend hall. If thats the case, i can see reinhart shaking loose to make room for hall. Either way, eriksson will cost more to move than is assumed here, moving reinhart to make space, only to then add eriksson- that doesnt work.

Buffalo really should rebuild? Main man wants out? That is all just spectaculation, Jack Eichel has never said that. This off-season we fixed our biggest hole of the last 2 years, and added an elite winger to boot. If we don’t make the playoffs this year, it will be the longest drought in history. This is not a year that Buffalo really should rebuild.
I am just spitballin here as I do not get to watch Jake very much.
He actually had a higher pt/60 than Sam last year, so I could easily see him among the Sabres top six.
Sam will most likely want over $6,000,000 long term next year.
Loui has a cap hit of $6,000,000 and Jake has a cap hit of $2,550,000 and both expire at the end of the year.
Let's presume Sam will accept only $6,000,000
If we send Loui to the minors his cap hit is only $4,875,000 and Jake is $2,550,000 for a sum total of $7,425,000 only $1,425,000 greater than Sam alone and the Sabres get two first round picks.
Alternatively if the Sabres were to buy our Loui, then his cap hit next year would only be $4,000,000 and $1,000,000 the following year.
So they could take the entire cap hit in one year or spread it out over two.
I think I would make this trade, I think it is a bad deal for Vancouver.
