I do believe every team after eichel is requiring 5m retention and that’s the big hold up.

You know I actually made an ACGM of that exact scenario. The premise was to get the total of about 4 1st equivalents through salary retention. 5 mil for 5 years is a lot of dead cap, but the Sabres would be fine in this case.

Here is the link to my crazy idea from a while back. https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2521863
Obviously it is outdated.

avs trade is fine, fair value

personally I dont think Olofsson is the guy avs should target for a middle 6 add but the price is there that they cant pass it up. Would be more interested in the Smith being flipped to Carolina move more

Did the fact that Eakin scored 7 points in 46 games while Henrique recorded THREE TIMES AS MANY points in one fewer game enter into your evaluation for even a nanosecond?

We wouldn't trade Henrique for that stiff if he came with a second.

Agreed but any team with the prospects and contending potential will already be very close to the cap so none of them can take on 10m in cap. A team like Anaheim doesn’t want to sell their very promising future for eichel. So it would be a team has a very small cup to bust window or gives way the whole farm - according to all the best writers. No team like Vegas or Minnesota will see the next 5 years of the franchise in terms of prospects picks and cap space, which would take 10 years to recover. Unless they are guaranteed like 2 cups.

We've discussed this before and I put my reasoning in the trade notes.

You are free to disagree of course.

Col and WPG both decline.

Dahlin will get more with the recent explosion, the Joker contract I'm unsure of but idk why he would take that term

I think the Ducks accept this no problem.
I think maybe Reilly Smith flipped to the Rangers maybe gets them a little more.

Sabres could retain 5 M for the first 2 years. I dont see them retaining any amount for the entire 5 years.
