Uhh no. Hell no. You're both beyond nuts. The Blues are not giving you two future 1st liners and Dunn all under team control AND handing over a ton of cap space for years to come AND then adding more. In fact, they're not interested in the Eichel madness at all. Put down the pipe.

Blues can never afford it and besides just how many times can they even rob Buffalo blind

Spending 10M on one guy is not how they do things there, and they can't afford this even if it was. That's before you even walk toward value, which is not working for the Blues, either. Again, not how they do things.

Except it isn't at all. This is a consensus view, not just me flapping my gums. And again, it's three cost control guys for one 10M guy. Just not gonna happen.

Consensus view of three people you care the most: me, myself and I.

It's laughable for Buffalo. But it's true that financially STL can't pull it off no matter what.

Really? Are we going to pretend that every scouting expert and service doesn't rate them as 1st liners? Or that they haven't already started showing a path toward that status in the NHL? Mmmnokaythen.

I didn't comment on how it looked from the Buffalo side. Not my concern, so I'll defer to your opinion.

Even if the money worked I don’t see any reason blues should have to give up all three of them. Eichel is not only broken he’s crazy expensive with loads of term and doesn’t even have the playoff experience equal to one of the guys blues giving up here.

Sabres likely have Doug Armstrong's number blocked since the ROR trade.

It’s about a 1st round pick and a Blue chip prospect from being fine. Other than that, it’s good!

Yeah if there's a deal with Stl for eichel im burning our barn down. Doesnt matter who's in it all im going to here is "meh prospect, guy who'll quit and sobotka, (who apparently resigned with the blues just for this trade) and they'll let us take a picture with their cup next year" can't believe botts is in Seattle, i wonder if he's just there to confirm bad moves.

Blues aren't the right fit for Eichel. I don't they would move their 3 best 25 and under players as of right now either
