55 of 84 available points thats only 6.5 games above .500. Eichel wouldnt leave this offseason


Why wouldn't he? What's the plan to miraculously get better by next year?

Last years roster was significantly worse. Thanks to Botterill.

55p would be a 27-14-1 record in 42 games.

Yep, something like that....at worst they need to be a 5-2-3 team in 10 games down the stretch....

reminder, they are 5-7-2, with the majority of their wins against NJ and NYR.

It was and you're right. How is next year's roster going to be better?

Don't get me wrong, there is a path forward with Eichel. It's just not a very clear path at this point in time.

Dont know what next years roster looks like yet, only can speculate. Hall may be back, Quinn may be up

They suck this year with Hall. That doesn't move the needle. Quinn won't either...

Can't expect Eichel to have that sort of patience....and that is assuming Hall wants to be around for more of losing.

I know this is asking for a lot on BUF's side, but Eichel is a proven near-Hart player. Vilardi and Byfield haven't done anything yet...there's no guarantee that the two of them ever combine for Eichel's numbers.

I like LAK's young centers...

Vilardi + Turcotte + 2 1sts?

What would be your BUF-LAK Eichel trade proposal?


Byfield, Iaffalo, and a 1st

OR

Turcotte, Vilardi, and a 1st

Turcotte, Vilardi and a 1st would get me on the phone. It would need to be this year's 1st. I think there need's to be more than that though...one more prospect...
