                              Chicago, columbus, and the kings are reasonable. The others seem slanted one way or the other.

                              Lmao. These are all incredibly slanted for Buffalo. Almost all of these teams give you a big fat NO

                              If you think you're getting Zegras AND 2 firsts or Kakko AND Laffy or Hughes plus plus you're setting yourself for big time disappointment

                              LA makes the most sense for both sides but I’m sure LA will suggest everything but Byfield

                              he publicly wants out guy kakko and laffy are off the table unless kings offer byfield, doesn't really make sense for most of these teams

                              he publicly wants out guy kakko and laffy are off the table unless kings offer byfield, doesn't really make sense for most of these teams


                              When PLD requested a trade, the Blue Jackets got Laine in return. You can't say Kaako or Laf are off the table for Eichel

                              Only 5 legit top-6 centres: Hintz, Pettersson, Hertl, Dubois, Dach

                              I think Buffalo should look more broadly. Anyone in the league, outside of McDavid, MacKinnon, Matthews and a few others should be on the table.

                              When was I comparing it? I'm comparing PLD's situation in Columbus to Eichel's in Buffalo. Even though PLD publicly said he wants out, he still got a huge return. EIchel just said he wants out, so why wouldn't he get a big return bud?

                              you misunderstand, the jets traded laine (who wasnt satisfied with winnipeg and whos agent requested a trade the previous offseason) for dubois who was in an eichel situation. One disgruntled superstar for another who were drafted one after another is not a similar situation

                              Laine didn't publically request a trade and it seemed like Winnipeg wanted to keep him.

                              Eichel is a whole different situation. The Sabres want to keep Eichel but Eichel wants to go. They don't have to trade Eichel because he's under contract for the next 5 years. If they do trade Eichel, it won't be for a weak offer.

                              Value is all over the place. Plus most of these teams can do a trade for Eichel. For example, from Winnipeg I would offer:

                              Winnipeg Jets

                              Jack Eichel

                              Buffalo Sabres

                              Pierre-Luc Dubois, Ville Heinola, 2022 first, and one of Andrew Copp, Adam Lowry, or Mason Appleton.

                              after what Buffalo got for Hall I doubt any of these happen

                              literally would not be surprised if Eichel gets slightly more than what O'Rielly got when Blues robbed buffalo

                              If you think you're getting Zegras AND 2 firsts or Kakko AND Laffy or Hughes plus plus you're setting yourself for big time disappointment


                              Not just that, I listened to an interview in which I learned that Eichel wants neck surgery and Buffalo wants him to rehab it.

                              The team has the ultimate say in what happens. Think of what happens to Eichel's value here, no direction has been decided on his injury this late into the season.

                              That means he won't even be ready for the coming season. What team in their right mind is going to give up "fair" value for Eichel?

                              you keep getting confused bud, eichel is in a more similar situation to dubois, not laine, although not exactly the same still. it was essentially public knowledge that laines agent had requested a trade the previous offseason. Thats 2 disgruntled stars being swapped even if eichels situation is more like dubois than laine, but neither of them have any resemblance to lafreniere or kakko because of 1) the fact that neither kakko or laffy have expressed any unahppiness 2) age and contract situation, obviously. you're trying to draw a parallel between a trade with 2 disgruntled top 3 picks in the same draft to a hypothetical trade where the assets are not the same age and have very different, pretty much opposite, relationships with their orgs. its a bad comparison

                              Wait so you cant trade him to a team like Florida because we're in your division, but you can trade him to New York? What is the reasoning behind that lol

                              Wild say no.

                              But this is the most fitting trade on here, Buf trades for Kaprizov then Kaprizov goes back to the KHL. BUF ends up with nothing for Eichel.

                              Obviously, Kaako and Laf are happy in NY but that doesn't mean they wouldn't include Kaako or Laf in an Eichel trade

                              it depends on the market, but the point is the laine dubois trade is not a good comparison or template for an eichel nyr deal

                              Fair, but the Sabres wouldn't want to trade Eichel unless they get a player with a ton of potential back
