Description
Does resigning Taylor Hall long-term do anything to pacify Eichel?

Would finally making the playoffs next year do the trick?

Let me know your thoughts :)

    Trade him for the best value you can get for him before he's coronated as a 1st round bust :(

    Bill Guerin might be more generous than he was with the recent Eric Staal trade.

    Who knows :D

    First, don't trade Casey rn. Second, don't sign a 30 year old to an 8 year contract. Third, where is ullmark.

    I don’t think signing hall makes any sense for the sabres. I think he gets traded at the deadline and eichel this offseason. Between the two the sabres will probably get 3 1sts and a boat load of prospects.

    Hall has been fine for buffalo, but not where near the perennial mvp caliber he thinks he is.

    If Hall stays in BUF, sure Eichel will be happy. But if Eakin is their 2C (and that center depth in general), that smile will quickly turn into a frown...

    First- 3 years max. Second, i figure its reinhart or hall, i think it would depend on what a reinhart trade looks like. Still waiting to see if hall and eichel have some magic, they arent scoring enough or helping the team win right now.

    At this point, I only signed Hall and Mittlestadt.

    I have a feeling that if Hall doesn't get max term from Buffalo, he walks out on you.

    I didn't take enough time out of my day on capfriendly to do something about Ullmark. Sue me :/

    With your team right now, worse things have happened.

    I hate to burst your bubble but Hall can't be traded without his say-so. He has an NMC if you look a little closer :/

    Wild won't trade much for Casey middle stat. If Minnesota is done @ deadline, wild GM is selling. he's also not doing much with adding due to expansion. it's why he wanted Johansson as he's a 1 year contract which expires after season's end

    Oh I know, but he wants to win and play for a contender. Still think he just went to buffalo because they paid him the most. The nmc means buffalo can’t just ship him out wherever they want. It means he decides exactly where he wants to or is willing to go. Then buffalo just gets what they get.

    Mitts won't get much of a return from anyone. He's waiver fodder next season and expansion draft fodder before that.
