That would be a deal breaker for me, and most Wild fans.

The deal fails because Huglen is untouchable and remember this is your final offer so no more Eichel deals for you.

Huglen is untouchable? I honestly thought I was sneaking him in this trade figuring no one knows who he is... He’s had myriad back problems and has missed a ton of playing time the past couple seasons...but he’s damm talented!

How are the Sabres the only team trading a prospect in the Eichel trade? Take Huglen and Dumba out and put in a 2022 first and Rossi and there’s the deal

If this is your final offer, I wonder how bad the other ones were. This is pretty bad. You can bet good money in the fact that the starter in any deal for Buffalo to consider it will be a top, young prospect (likely a centre). You have let even included a centre in the deal. A second line forward, an overrated defenceman, and a mid round 1st in a very questionable draft wouldn't even be a top 10 offer for Eichel.

Start with Rossi likely (depending how his medical turn out, if not, has to be Eriksson Ek). But in all reality, Minnesota doesn't have the assets to get Eichel and could be outbid by 90% of the teams in the running for him anyways.

You can't have untouchables that are worse than Eichel in this trade. If you want a big piece, you're gonna have to give up a big piece too.

LMAO...

He's good. But he's not on an untouchable level. If you wouldn't move him for Eichel, you're just a clown 🤡


Yeah, he is. And you don't understand a thing if you can't understand why we wouldn't.

You don't move your best center when you're trying to fill a 1C hole. You don't fill a hole only to create another one.

Wild would be acquiring someone like Eichel to become true contenders for the cup. It's the one piece we don't have yet. But true cup teams are 3-4 center's deep, 2-3 high-end wingers, good to great defensive core's, average to great goaltending.

JEE may be a lesser player than Eichel, but you don't give up him up when your goal is to contend. Same reason you don’t give up Rossi or Fiala either. Which says nothing about Eichel's injury concerns on top of that.

We have a top ten prospect pool, a plethora of picks, and at least two other prospects with top six center potential beyond just Rossi. Either one of them pakaged with Boldy is ammo enough to start the conversation.

🤡

I'm not about to give up Fiala given Eichel's injury concerns.

Dumba
Rask
Boldy
Khovanov
2021 1st (PIT or MIN)
2022 2nd (MIN)

That's my offer.

Obviously you are the clown, because you have no idea what the hell you are talking about

Wild aren't trading Joel Eriksson Ek. He's untouchable.

Buffalo or other teams fans thinking wild, or any team is going to trade their really good 2 way c is beyond a joke

I dont see Parise walking away from 10M but if he did the cap recapture penalty at the tune of about 6M/yr for the next 3 yrs would come into play.

You're absolutely ridiculous and stupid if you say Eriksson Ek is untouchable and wouldn't trade him for Eichel. Eriksson Ek will never be a top 50 player, Eichel is a top 10.

You're a clown. 🤡


Thank God you aren't a general manager in NHL. Thank God buffalo fans like yourself can't form an knowledge argument so you go to name calling

I just explained to you why you don't trade a possible Selke finalist for Eichel.

Let's try this again...

BECAUSE YOU ****ING NEED BOTH IF YOU'RE TRYING TO WIN THE CUP!!!!

And I'm the clown? Right sure, whatever you say.

LOL when did I ever say I'm a Sabres fan? I never did and I'm not. Good assumptions though kid 😉

& I don't have a subscription to the Athletic. It again, if you think Eriksson Ek is untouchable in an Eichel trade I'm sorry but you don't know hockey. Eriksson Ek will never come close to Eichel's level of impact. The Wild can love him all they want. But he wouldn't be "untouchable" for Eichel. Remember what that word means. There's no way in hell anyone is stupid enough to not upgrade from Eriksson Ek to Eichel.

A "possible" Selke winner for a "possible" Hart trophy winner.. I think I know who I take.

You don't get Eichel without giving up something good. Prospects are one thing, but you can bet you're money they're gonna want something that's more of a sure thing like a young player like Eriksson Ek. It's funny how people on here are cause of you were a Sabres fan you'd be saying you'd want or need Eriksson Ek in any Eichel deal. But your bias because he's had a good season after a few years before where people questioned if he'd ever develop. 1 season and Wild fans think he's a Selke nominee? Sorry but he's not even a top 10 defensive forward. He's good, yes. But he's not an elite defensive guy. & you can find someone to replace him easily. Guys like Eichel don't come around too often and Wild fans expect to give away virtually nothing to get him. That's the clown part LOL

Wow, you really are clueless aren't you? Well, it's either that OR you're literally just here trying to troll us.


In fact, I'm certain you are here just to troll, because if you weren't you'd have actually read what I've repeated several times.

That reply wasn't in response to anything you said...

I clearly read your post and responded to it. Guess they forgot to teach you to read in kindergarten. & you might wanna double check the definition of trolling. Just because someone disagrees with you it isn't trolling.

It's time for your nap now kid. Go to sleep. Cheers.
