Buffalo isn’t looking for a haul of bargain bin prospects and an underperforming winger with a looming QO to deal with.

SJS would have to start with Eklund and their 1st and that would have extremely risky consequences for San Jose

Friend, unless we're thinking of very different people, that dude's goalie scores were based entirely on Hill and Melnichuk - and in the case of Melnichuk, it does not take last year into account. Oh, and he's really dishonest about his goalie rankings. In an interview he did with Sheng Peng he says that his cut-off for goalies is 100 games played, which is how Hill is still considered a prospect. But by those standards, he should be counting Jack Campbell, Thatcher Demko, Elvis Merzlikins, and Cal Petersen. Hell, Carter Hart only makes that cut off by two games - he's only played 101 games. Mackenzie Blackwood only has 105. Most of those guys are starting goaltenders, but if he were actually applying his formula the way that he says he does, well, I think that Toronto, Vancouver, Columbus, and LA would be ranked a lot higher in his goalie prospects list.

I am highly skeptical of his rankings.

Agreed, that would have extremely risky consequences for San Jose, and the very last thing we need is another $10 million dollar contract. We've already got half the cap tied up in six players, adding Eichel's cap hit would leave the Sharks with less than $30 million to pay for the rest of their roster, and several players need new contracts for next year. It would be absolute madness to pursue this course of action and I certainly hope that Doug Wilson isn't considering it.

I Have a Hunch This Eichel Trade Between SJ BUF is NOT Near

Lol

Also, Adin Hill from a third goalie to a Starter?

that’s a fair assessment, i do not consider hill a prospect, Melnichuyk chrona and the new kid Gaudreau all stile me a solid prospects and i really like Gaudreau a lot. remove hill and our prospects are still very solid and our goaltending prospects are still top 10.

hill will be very similar to jones (when we got him) in my opinion! solid middle of the league starter. still an upgrade from jones.
