They're not getting that much for Eichel until they prove that he's healthy enough to play at the level that warrents a $10 million per contract. AND they'll have to take salary back, as without Eichel's contract on the books they'll be under the cap floor. They're in a really tight spot with this one, and, at least in my opinion, they probably should have moved him prior to the draft.

Better centers include: McDavid, Barkov, Point, Matthews, Kopitar, Crosby, Draisaitl (can play C), Scheifele, Malkin, Bergeron. Not even counting Mika, who I think is better all around player. All better all around centers and hockey players, so he is clearly NOT a top 5 center in the NHL. And NONE of these players need spinal surgery. LMFAO.

For it being nothing it’s sure causing a lot of issues, 10 million is actually market value but what I’m saying is that’s a hard contract to move under a flat cap system no matter the player. 21 games or 55 games it was still subpar

Also I’d like to add: putting lmfao and clown emojis make you look like someone who really has zero belief in his opinion and more like a toddler who doesn’t like people disagreeing him

That’s fine but you’re completely ignoring every other factor in play. If he was that easy to move he’d be gone right now

LOL. Kopitar way better. Crosby at any age is better. Draisaitl better and Jack can't defend either. Schielfle better all around. Malkin way better at any age. Bergeron way better all around. Let's just talk Bergeron.....he is WAY better in face-offs, one of the leagues best and Jack is 43% guy......Penalty kill Bergeron is one of the leagues best, Jack, not that good......defensively, Bergeron is one of the leagues best and Jack is terrible (and lazy)....offensively, Jack has a slight edge.....overall, hands down, Bergeron is way better all around....and cheaper. And all of these guys cost less than Jack.

I get it. He is a top 5 center when fully healthy. Now, gauging from what's happened over the past several months, I would assume that all of the other general managers would agree that they wouldn't want to trade that many assets for a player making $10 million per when they have absolutely no idea if he will A.) be able to perform at that top 5 center in the league, and B.) be able to even play again. That's a mighty big risk that, as of now, nobody has been willing to take. The Sabres also have to take back significant money in return because they'll be well below the cap floor without doing so.

I know it's hard to admit. I know. But every pundit agrees with this. The Sabres are in a tough spot. I wish they weren't, but they are. Whether you agree with it or not does not change that reality. I hope he plays again, but you just don't know. It's telling that no GM has done it yet. I was reading an article about this in the Athletic: Asked by a reader if Eichel would be placed on long-term injury reserve, Vogl points out the Sabres aren’t near the upper limit of the salary cap. Eichel would simply go on injured reserve and his $10 million annual average value would still count against their cap payroll.

Vogl projects they’re at $48.1 million (including Cody Hodgson’s buyout) without Eichel and restricted free agent defenseman Rasmus Dahlin in the lineup. That puts them $12.1 million under the cap’s lower limit.

If Eichel isn’t traded and goes on IR, his cap hit puts the Sabres within $2.1 million of the lower limit. A new contract for Dahlin would make them cap-compliant.

All this is to say that If Eichel gets traded the Sabres will have to take on some salary from whichever club they send him to. Even that might not be enough, forcing them into the trade and free-agent markets to address that need.

Finally: at no point did I ever laugh at any comments. I was constructive. Saying "lmfao" is pretty condescending, and both doesn't add to your argument or cast you in a good light. I teach middle and high school students internationally, and they all are mature enough not to act that way.
