Kopitar for Eichel

Created by: Billy739
Team: 2021-22 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 6, 2021
Published: Sep. 6, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Worst case scenario Kopitar is traded to a team on his 7 team NTC list in a 3 way deal if he deosnt accept a trade to BUF. He has no Choice he will be leaving in this scenario

Cap wont be an issue here
What will be is value to make all feel like they won

LAK will end up paying a premium but getting the better singular player long term
BUF will have Kopitar who is 34-35 i think gives them a 50 point player who will sell jerseys until Turcotte is ready to step into a bigger role at the NHL level


LAK depth even without Turcotte and Kopitar will be

Eichel
Danault
Byfield
Vlardi
Kempe
Dolan-Anderson
Kupari
Akil Thomas
Lias Anderson

Turcotte is probably their 3rd or 4th best Center Prospect so its not like losing their top guy
But in the same respect that player will go a long way towards helping fill the void Eichel will leave

Both Teams give up Quality and short term BUF seems like big winners
But long term Jack Eichel makes todays LAK legit Stanley Cup Contenders and a lethal threat


Keep in mind i'm a MTL fan just trying to see if i could find a trade that would make sense for both teams. I figured LAK Have the pieces and are motivated to win and BUF put in some work to make Kopitar include them on his list securing a solid Goalie and bringing in a RD to play with Dahlin. IF they are playing well come TDL BUF can move out Okposo in a deal to upgrade their depth quality.

Kopitar isn’t waiving for BUF so this doesn’t really even need to be thought past the initial idea.

Kopitar could end up in a lot worse spots
More importantly i think he does it for the team and the city
Thats a huge return at a fraction of the cost most speculate Eichel will get
For an Aging Center and a solid middle 6 Center prospect

He could block it but why ?
Worst case BUF will flip him to a team on his NTC 7 team list in a 3 way deal

As stated Above he has no choice
Whether its a 3 way trade to a team on his 7 team list
Or he says yes to BUF

He's being traded in this scenario

This doesn’t make sense. LA literally doesn’t need to do this trade. They’re literally set down the middle for the next decade. This is completely unnecessary for them. Kopitar gives them a greater chance to win than Eichel by a long shot right now imo.

Devils would probably give you that 9 million 3rd pairing guy for a 5th tears of joy why give up possibly 2 2nds?

The contract goes with the player. The 7-team trade list applies to the new team as well as the Kings. So if Kopitar gets sent to Colorado, say, the Avalanche can't turn around and send him anywhere; they have to send him to one of the other 6 teams on his trade list. And I think that the chances of Buffalo being on that list are somewhat less than 7 in 31.

Entirely aside from that, I don't think that Rob Blake is going to trade Kopitar, Brown or Quick anywhere they don't want to go.

Kopitar has a choice, that is why he has the M-NMC in his contract. Why would he want to go to Buffalo?

I over thought it i guess

as the description says if he doesnt wave a 3rd team on his 7 team trade list will be contact and he'll be flipped
but that's another post in a 3 way trade that will happen once i can establish value on this trade.

If the value is established then i'll work to make a deal where Kopitar can be Schrodingers cat
Both in BUF and on 1/7 team trade list selections simultaneously

But trying to get people to talk about the value has been a challenge thus far
Good feedback about Subban deal i can live with though so thats a bonus

This post is to establish value not have this debate
I Got a 3way post planned for AFTER i establish value

I'm trying to approach this 1 stage at a time as i've tried 3 way posts on here before
You end up fighting battles on to many fronts to find out what it would actually take to do it

Step 1is this post
Step 2 is to find 1/7 teams Kopitar would go to who could take him
Step 3 is to create a post with that trade while also presenting the option to BUF

Step 3 is like the Matrix Red or Blue pill option
But not Choosing a pill(staying) isnt an option
