That would be a pretty big overpay bu the wild. 2 top 6 wings, 1 top 4 d a top line prospect and a 1st for eichel and Thompson and a couple picks. The wild would need to drop fiala or else boldy and the 1st. With eichels cap hit in the flat cap world his value drops significantly. Add on the injuries and everything and it will probably end up as 3 good pieces for him, but certainly not 5.

Minnys 1st and Buffs 2nd are only going to be a couple spots away. Min is likely going to lose a good D in the expansion draft so i figured get a return rather than lose him for nothing. Trade in my eyes looked like Dumba, Fiala, Boldy, 1st for Eichel and then Greenway for Thompson 2nd and 5th. That breakdown makes more sense trade wise

I'm not sure which playoff teams you would jump over so I highly doubt this is a playoff team.

You aren't better than TB, BOS, TOR or FLA in your own division and you aren't beating out whoever would be 4th in the Metro and therefore it isn't a wildcard team.

Boston is very overrated like always and will be cap tight, Toronto is also overrated again they played in the Canadian division, and Buf can easily beat out the 4th in Metro which is probably going to be Philly

Do you realize how beat up Buffalo was this year? With a fully healthy team they do not come close to where they did this year. Before all the injuries they were only 4 points out of a playoff spot i believe and then it went downhill along with awful coaching

OMFG man...every year BUF starts out strong and wins a few in a row and then they tank it because they aren't good enough to sustain winning. This team is no different. BUF is NOWHERE NEAR CLOSE!

"We were 4 points out of a playoff spot 3 games into the year..." GTFOH

The highest they ever were was 5th in the standings for 3 total days.

Games 7-10 was the only time BUF was .500 in the standings. Game 9 was the only time they were above .500. After Game 9 they had 2 wins in the next 26 games.

Sabres don't HAVE to trade him Eichel to Minnesota like any other team, if they don't get a good enough offer they hang up

Totally agree. I do feel like he’ll be traded this offseason and while the wild would be a seemingly ideal destination for him, buffalo can get better offers from la or nyr. Mn being his preferred choice as it’s closer to competing than the other teams.

This is a big ole no from Minnesota. As team, you have to be able to have skills, & game closer, & bullies , / bug bodies with skill.

Wild aren't going to trade 3 really good young wingers for no reason

The proposal here is just blatantly wrong. Wild aren't going to give definition of 7 1st round pick or more for eichel


Tage Thompson Is just a body. He's not that good

He really turned the corner under Don Granato. The line he formed with Apslund and Casey Mittelstadt was one of the Buffalo’s best in the final third of the season. I would be a little surprised if they intended to trade him. I think they would like to keep that unit together.
