add Krebs +. Being stripped of the captaincy means nothing. Sabres are not moving off there value. Vegas needs a 1C to win a cup. They got exposed in playoffs. Sabres are not getting fleeced for an elite 1C.

I think Krebs would have to be coming back.

buffalo accepts

i think its pretty clear we dont want to move Krebs. This is about what Vegas would pay for Eichel right now. I would add an Elvenes and our second but im not adding Krebs. Buffalo is the one on the clock before his NMC kicks in.

That certainly could be the case. I just don't see Eichel getting moved to VGK without Krebs in the deal. It'll be interesting to see how the next year plays out.

the sabres have kind of played themselves - a lot of teams are backing off and with all the question marks about his health and his NMC kicking in next year they have very little leverage

If you dont wanna move Krebs you dont get Eichel. Its pretty simple and its been that way since the start.
At this point I'd take Krebs, Tuch and a 1st. I think thats more than fair. (Once Eichel is healthy.)

I dont think that will be the end case man.....but we will see. No point in arguing over a complete hypothetical

No, I agree. I didn't mean too come across as a prick.

Didnt take it as one at all. I know if I was Buffalo i would want Krebs, Tuch, Dean and a first....but theres no way id give that up. Only way I see us making a move for Jack is if Krebs/Patrick dont look good at all to start the year.
