I dont LEichel This

Created by: TCMonkey
Team: 2020-21 Ottawa Senators
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 10, 2021
Published: Mar. 10, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
FIRSTLY, I don't believe OTT should be trading for Eichel but with all the talk that's going around I figured I'd propose something. SECONDLY, I don't believe all the negative talk around Eichel, and even if he came in with an attitude I think Tkachuk is the kind of guy that gets people to loosen up and embrace a team mentality. THIRDLY, I also believe this is a legit good offer. NO TEAM is giving you back another (younger/cheaper) Eichel, so you can stop dreaming now.
LASTLY, this Ottawa line up will be tremendous in 2 years with the addition of Sanderson and Kleven. Considering 14 million comes off the cap at the end of this season (Stepan, Anisimov, Reilly, Coburn) and they could pick up a solid 2nd pairing LHD for 2 years until the kids are ready - I'd say they're in the playoffs next year.
Seattle Exp Draft: leave Murray, Dadonov, Zaitsev, Watson, Gustavsson... exposed. Ottawa can easily replace any of those pieces if need be, and likely at a better price.

I love how everyone thinks Jack has an attitude problem because he gets mad after loses.

He’s not playing well right now and that’s why his value is low. Buffalo are fools to trade him especially now.

Replace Eichel with Stuetzle here, and think "Would I move my future 1C for this?"

No, you wouldn't, so why would Buffalo move a guy who is already a bonified 1C for it? Batherson has been really solid, and has looked good this year, but there's nothing that screams "High end" here. A late 1st and high 2nd in what's probably going to be one of the most boom/bust drafts in recent history isn't it.

the reason i wouldnt do it as a Sens fan is because Batherson is a million times better than his value right now. Hes solid top 6 now but will be a top line player by next year. The fact that you dont think this is value proves my point

He didn't demand anything. He signed with another team as a UFA. He was traded to CLB by CHI and mayeb he didn't like being in CLB.

Panarin left as a UFA
Dubois demanded out

No he didn't, he was a UFA. Columbus has never, and probably will never throw out money like the contracts that he and Bob got.

Panarin informed the team he wanted a trade, they said no and he said he would not resign, they said ok and the rest is history.

I’m not saying they didn’t release him for good reason, just that he wasn’t willing to negotiate.

Sanderson, they are planning for 2 more years, Bernard-Docker not 100% sure if he's gonna pan out but I have high hope for him but both are still at least 3-4 years away from being experienced DMen

Well I never heard that before but it's starting to sound like there's a serious office(coach/management) issue in CLB.

nope. JBD is going to step in like Fabbro, Miller and Fox.
Sanderson could be a 1 and done and very close to NHL ready. Reminds me of Ekblad.
