Eichel

Created by: Leafsfaninvancity
Team: 2020-21 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 24, 2021
Published: Feb. 24, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Leafs fans don't kill me, I love Nylander, but if we can land a Eichel to play with Matthews, and being one of the few teams that can pay him, I think its a good deal. Sabres are getting an all-star in Nylander who hasn't hit his prime and is also capable of playing centre, a third line centre, and a high end defensive prospect. Also much shorter deals for cash strapped Buffalo. Leafs have financial flexbility to keep Andersen and Hyman next year

And then in 4 years we have to shill a ton of cap to resign Matthews. As cool as this would be, there is really no need or want.

For Eichel, it would take Marner at least...That being said, this trade makes your team more lopsided. Your bottom 2C are doubtful to last this short, fast-paced and little-rest season

If we’re being honest they only have to play 9 minutes a night each. Just play Matthews and Eichel 21 minutes a night apiece like Crosby - Malkin or McDavid - Drasaitl.

It’s fair value. It just won’t happen. Rangers fans are worst acting like Howden and Zibanejad gets Eichel.

Matthews, Eichel, and Tavares could split time at centre. Eichel won't always have to be on Matthews' wing.

That 3rd is a deal breaker. BUF declines.

I think cap strapped might be accurate. Cash strapped would be no. Havent looked recently, but the owner was worth 5 billion at one point. He may actually be responsible for the mess the hockey franchise is in, but i wouldnt call him cash strapped.

Bigger problem is how ridiculously short you are on value.

Do you think he's going to continue to spend all the way to the cap on a team that doesn't compete? I can't see it happening.

Well hes a fan of the team, a season ticket holder from decades ago. His wife said something like "the bills will make money no matter what we do, with the sabres we have to decide how much we are willing to lose". When the pandemic hit, they let a ton of people go and said they were looking at a cap of around 70 million. Then taylor hall returned their calls and they changed their mind. I dont think they are willing to waste money on paying gms and coaches to not work for them anymore, and i dont think that they are going to throw money away on crazy expensive buyouts either. We have reached the point where they are themselves being questioned regarding the people they continue to hire to run their hockey operation. I cant see them doing anything drastic like trimming payroll (more than half of the nhl teams also indicated the desire to stay around 70 million to stop the bleeding, so that wasnt just them). Actually, i kind of expect them to continue to spend to the cap, this is their mess and i think they will try to fix it, which seems less likely if they decide to pinch pennies.

Funny that Buffalo is adding a pick here, they decline this anyway and could get a better return then this for Eichel.

Nylander is not close to Eichels value, this isnt fair at all

1- Buffalo is NOT “cash strapped”
Our owner is a BILLIONAIRE, who also owns the Bills

2- that trade offer EASILY gets beat- it’s LAUGHABLE

3- there’s virtually ZERO chance we’d trade Eichel to u guys

4- and we aren’t trading Eichel right now anyways

You have ZERO KNOWLEDGE about the inner workings of the Sabres & what we are or aren’t willing to spend

But that’s not even what “cash strapped” means
Maybe u should look that up?
Bc our owner has PLENTY of cash

Eichel traded to play 2nd line RW in Toronto yeah so not happening. With Matthews and Tavares as your 1C and 2C respectively Eichel is the last player Toronto needs.
