Did you add an extra 0 on accident? At 5m retention - Canes will beat that offer. Jarvis, Suzuki, Troch or Nino, 2 firsts? Add a bit more if you like for retention.

Vegas laughs and hangs up.

They offered exactly what Buffalo asked for. 1st/Krebs/Hague/Smith…but with retention on Eichel…amount not disclosed. Buffalo declined. Vegas might add another mid level piece or pick to get the retention. But that’s about it.

I get ur a Boston fan and probably biased but Eichel at 5 million is an insane piece and teams WOULD pay up the nose for. Vegas would not turn this down in my opinion

There is no bias.

No team has any idea what they are getting in Eichel due to his health. Could be a 5m albatross.

As i said Vegas made the offer above. The retention was reported only as “significant”. They might up the offfer a bit to get the retention that Buffalo was not willing to do. Replacing Smith with Tuch is a deal breaker.

I retained half of a 10 million contract for 5 years. Unheard of.

Only speculation out there on what you are discussing

At this point, Buffalo is going to have to retain just to get three 1st round values. Especially if they want to send him out west.
There well may be riots in Buffalo when this deal finally drops.
How do you not realize you are going to lose this stand off with Jack and whatever franchise you're trying to trade with. You lose value and leverage every single day.
Nobody knocking down your door for 50 mil over 5 years, hes injured and oh yea has attitude/maturity issues too.

I don’t keep a log of where i have read things to appease doubters. Don’t want to believe it…don’t. IDC. I read what i read. Or heard it on a podcast 🤷🏻‍♂️. Was very specific minus the amount of retention which was only said to be significant.. There was no “believed:, “heard”, supposedly” type verbage. Was straight forward. Here is what Buffalo told Vegas they would accept, Vegas offered it but wanted retention on Eichel which was declined. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Only thing I like about this is 1st line Skinner. He can regain some of his 40 goal form after he gets off the 4th line.
