Sabres should happy with that

Dallas declines IMO

oh no, not the "yes meme" guy

That's awful for Dallas

Dallas is in a semi win mode, Doubt if they want to trade Khuodin, Radalov and Hintz and more just to have Eichel sitting on LTIR

This is the Eichel conundrum. I personally wouldn't trade for someone with a herniated disc (that costs 10m). But someone will pay too much for him at some point.

Eichel is an elite player. No doubt about that.

But this is way too much.

People around here that do not follow Dallas closely underestimate largely Hintz.

On top of that, our center line is quite OK for now and for the future with Hintz, Seguin, Benn, Bourque, Dellandrea, Johnston, Faksa.

And we’re talking about the same guy who’s last big trades were in 2013-2015. After Spezza and Seguin, Nill has been awfully quiet.

Anyways regarding the trade I’m fine with Bourque being the main part, but the line draws at Hintz. Players like Schneider and Krebs have been deemed untouchable and Hintz is miles better than both, Bourque is a little worse, but not by a lot. He’d be the furthest we’d go (except maybe Gurianov), guys like Johnston, JRob and Hintz should be players to consider keeping for the long term.

What’s funny about what you said is all those players you listed are centres.

Do the meme damnit. I only did the post for the meme.

Alright then.

How badly do you want to leave Buffalo?

Eichel:

I think Eichel is beyond that now. He already has a plane ticket booked for 31 different cities. But this is perfect.
