Eichel package they COULD offer

Description
READ:

Before everyone freaks out on me, I understand that it’s unlikely Buffalo would ever send eichel to Boston without asking for one of McAvoy or pastrnak in return. I also understand that there’s teams outside the division who could probably offer a better package. I saw a report today that buffalo’s asking price would include at least 4 first round picks/players who were picked in the first round. I feel that this is a realistic offer that Boston could put on the table – probably not get accepted, but *IF* it did here’s what it could look like

I addressed that in the description. I should’ve included this but McAvoy for eichel is a non starter for Boston. They don’t even do that trade straight up so I tried to find a way they could work around it

I think buffalo would rather give him away for free to a west coast team that trade him within the division.

No offense, this is not a good offer. Those will all be very late 1st rounders

IMO, more than fair offer from Boston. From any team a lot of cap has to be returned to Buffalo in a trade
But what is with Larsson signing. Lot better value out there for under 4.5m

Buffalo needs a center coming back. It’s not close at all. Bruins don’t have enough.

I don’t think it’s a bad offer but there’s a great chance it’s not as good as something New York or LA would offer. I think it’s the best the bruins can offer without giving up pastrnak or McAvoy (both they wouldn’t even trade 1 for 1 for eichel).

It’s probably 2 top 4 D with carlo and Vaak, potential #1 goalie in vladar, plus 3 firsts who you’ll get a good player at even if they’re late, Debrusk is probably the worst piece of the offer. I don’t think it’s bad, it’s just beatable by other teams.

would you trade pastrnak for victor olofsson, henri jokiharju, Jake Mccabe, erik portillo and 5 buffalo 2nds (the difference between a boston 1st and buffalo 2nd is like 10 spots at most)

it just isn't a good offer and buffalo already would be unwilling to trade him to boston.

Like who? I scrolled through the UFAs and I felt that the most realistic solid Dman who will hit the market that the bruins can afford. I might’ve missed someone though so let me know who you have in mind

But the Sabres would have additional cap to acquire a centre

Seems like Sabres fans think they are going to equal on ice value for Eichel, plus cap and prospects plus picks. The idea of trading Eichel is gain cap space and young assets for yet another rebuild. If not the option is keep Eichel for the next four plus year, keeping missing the play offs and then have him leave as UFA.

Am I the only Bruins fan that is trying to tell people that we NEED to rebuild? Am I just stupid? Do we not have to? The Bruins core aren't getting any younger, the only defenseman we have for the future is McAvoy, and there is absolutely no forwards for the future either, Studnicka isn't going to be that good, face it.

Larsson is just a middling Dman....so 2.5m might be his max. There might be trade options available as teams might have to expose an NHL Dman and might want to do a trade with Bruins instead.

If you are suggesting you wouldn't trade mcavoy for eichel 1 for 1 I dont think this will be a productive post and I question whether this was done in good faith or with a straight face.

They won’t need to full on rebuild for another 3-5 years. Anyway, eichel is a piece that could help them win now and would also be a good centerpiece to rebuild around when that time comes. They would still have a strong core of Eichel, Pastrnak McAvoy

He still has 5 more years left on his contract.. Obviously they aren’t going to win the trade, because there’s not a lot of players that are better than Jack. For example Vegas could offer a trade package.
Stephenson
Tuch
Krebs
1&3rd is a good offer. Two established players on good long term contracts and a promising center prospect.

They seriously would not do that. Ask anyone who watches or knows anything about the bruins. McAvoy is a legit franchise cornerstone number one right handed defenseman who’s in the running for Norris already. That’s harder to find than a 1C. Similar to why Colorado wouldn’t give Makar straight up for eichel

no, but there should be atleast one elite asset coming back, whether that be a very good young player on his ELC, preferably a center, or a top 5 draft pick.

Also, counting this year he is under contract for 6 years and his NTC doesn't factor in until after the 21-22 season.

Jack Eichel being available for trade without any movement restrictions would be a situation the NHL hasn't seen in some time. An unquestioned elite center under 25 under contract for 5 years.

The idea that the best you can do is this is not credible.

He’s already making over 4mil and believe it or not he’s actually gotten better since that contract was signed. He’ll get a lot more than 2.5 on the open market

What a silly comparison. The Leafs right now are in win mode...and that include Matthews. If you haven't noticed, the Sabres are dreadful even with Eichel. IMO the Sabres wouldn't get a better offer than the one posted. Keep Eichel for the next four plus year and continue not to make playoffs lose him for nothing. Of course the Bruins would be better not making this trade for Eichel. They should keep their prospects and their picks, give away Debrusk, keep Carlo and then spend 6m on good UFA centre
That's Sabres competition is a trade. Teams can spend just $$$$ on UFA and keep their picks.

that is fine. Eichel is in the prime of his career, under contract for 5 more years. if buffalo made him available for trade they would get a dozen better offers.

funny the team with 2 11 million dollar centers thinks building your roster for balance and depth is the way to go.

That's a fair offer. The only issue is whether Vegas can handle the 5.2m more Eichel makes than Tuch. Vegas was somewhat cap strapped this season but got LTIR relief. May not be as fortunate next season.
