That would be awful for Buffalo. One of Boldy of Rossi has to be included.

Fiala isn't a top tier prospect. He's a 25 year old looking for a big contract. You don't get Eichel without one of Rossi or Boldy.

You do when you're getting a top tier first liner who can replace 75-80% of Eichel's production.

Fiala doesn't play on the first line, isn't top tier, or play center. He's not good defensively either. That's not the centerpiece in an Eichel trade.

Fiala is, at this moment, significantly better than what you HOPE Boldy can become. He doesn't play on the "first line" because our coach wants to spread the offense around, and Fiala has been putting up numbers similar to or better than names like Tkachuk, Boeser, Gaudreau, Laine, Reinhart, Ehlers and Nylander the last two years while playing with guys like Koivu, Hartman, and Johansson. You know nothing of what you speak about.

I don't think you understand the Sabres situation. We are a rebuilding team for the time being. The target is guys under 21. A 25 year old looking to cash out doesn't fit in that time frame. Even if Fiala was part of a deal we would probably flip him to another team for picks.

Fiala is a good 2nd liner. You are way overrating him naming him with guys like Tkachuk, Gaudreau, and Ehlers. I'd rather have Reinhart over him too.

You're proving my point with every post. I'm not putting him with those names, HIS PRODUCTION is. He is producing on par or better than those names. You know nothing about Fiala.

Buffalo has been rebuilding for over a decade. Just wait the price for Jack continues to drop the closer we get to the draft. Only two teams are in on him anymore. The wild and the rangers and both have called buffalo's bluff about asking price. Guess we will wait and see. The last thing buffalo wants or needs is for jack to be on the roster after the draft.

You literally just put him with those names. You're acting like he's a top tier first liner. He's a decent scoring second line winger that struggles defensively. That's it. Stop being such a huge homer.

You are completely clueless. Nobody knows who is in on or out on Eichel. That's how negotiations work. NYR was supposedly out a few weeks ago. It's a big poker match. Stop thinking you're getting a top center for meh picks and prospects.

His production places him in that tier. Possibly above it if you consider QoT. You not being able to accept the fact that he scores as much as, or more, than those guys, isn't me being a homer, that's a you problem. He's a first line winger, no two ways around it.

Ok I guess we will wait and see how clueless I am. Good luck with your next ten years of re-building.

No it doesn't. Being a top tier first line guy is more than just points. Strome isn't a top tier center because he puts up points. It's like me marketing Sam Reinhart as a top tier first line center. You calling a 2nd line guy a top tier first liner is you being delusional.

not sure how we are in cap hell. Can you tell me how we are? You are just an angry buffalo fan who can't keep a good player because they all want out. The wild have benefited from that many times over and if jack comes here just another top player that hates being in buffalo. Krill will be our franchise player. He will sign a 4 yr deal for around 8-9.5 per yr and then sign a large extension 6 yr 12 per yr. We keep our players happy and wanting to stay here.

Bro you have like 15M in dead cap and will have to resign Kaprizov, while having to upgrade your team. The only person that seems to be angry is you. People get really upset when Sabres fans don't want their scraps for a top center. I mean we usually fleece you guys in trades. I'm up for another one with Eichel.

Yea keeping your players happy by having him play with Victor Rask lmao. Whats the Kap landing odds in 3 years? Rangers? Florida? Moscow?

"BRO" Another miss informed hockey person that thinks they know everything. How have you fleeced us? What former wild players are on your roster and what former players have worked out for you? Same with draft picks? If you said none you would be correct. Billy G has completely redone the majority of the roster and he isn't done yet and we are still a playoff team. We would have to pay the parise and suter $ regardless if they were on the team or not. So instead of paying them around 15 mil for 4 years now its only 2 years and we get some cap relief along with the roster spots. Keep being a uniformed troll have a great day.

Bro you gave us high picks for Matt Moulson & Chris Stewart. Got Staal for bum Johansson. Got a huge haul for Pominville. Would not be surprised to see you guys give up a lot for Eichel. Have you only been a hockey fan recently or something?

And you have to pay money for Suter's replacement on top of the dead cap dumb dumb. Having nearly 15M in dead cap is hell. Another solid move from Billy G the guy that covers up sexual assault.

And how did those trades work out for you. I see you made the Playoffs multiple years right??????? Your just a massive troll who knows nothing. Regardless if suter and parise were on the roster we would owe $$$. So why not get some cap relief and roster spots also help us in the expansion draft. Yep GM at the time was trying to win a cup and swung some deals to help us in the playoffs. I know that's a strange word for buffalo fans but you are also the franchise that has wasted talents like Ryan Miller and Jack Eichel. So keep being a great person and a keyboard warrior. Have a great day and an even better weekend.
