Am I the only one who thinks Eichel-Vegas makes sense

Description
Vegas always seems to find a way to work around the cap, and the only thing they are missing is an undeniable 1C. I could see it happening. Sabres get a 1st, a 2nd, a top prospects, and two very good players locked into long term contracts, which they'll need since nobody wants to sign there. This easily falls in line with the Sabre's ask of roughly "four 1st round picks worth of value".

No, you are not the only one. I'd send Smith and Holden back to Buffalo too for cap reasons. And make the 2022 a 1st as well.

I’ve had the same thought. Problem here is that Karlsson has a 10 team no trade list, and I can all but guarantee buffalo is on it.

Teams should not be trading back top players to buffalo
They should be trading picks or prospects...
Krebs Glass and a 1st, dont trade karlsson or tuch

They don't have the space, they need to send a contract with a decently high AAV back

Canes should agree to a Karlsson trade to help Vegas out with Eichel.

It definitely makes sense but I think Glass as a natural centre would be the centre piece in a deal. Vegas is high on Krebs, I doubt they include him in the deal. I also don't think they would include Tuch because he played with Eichel in his draft year for the USNDP and went from a third line, mid round prospect to a top line, first round pick. Vegas would likely wanna try that again.

I'd centre the deal around Glass, Hague, and a 2022 -st to start. Then go from there

that's kinda the whole point... any Eichel trade requires 4 1sts or equivalents at ELC $ or picks. No RFA's no cap hit more than ELC. If you have to send $$ back, you can't afford him.
