My take on Eichel without retention next year

Created by: Anus_McLeod
Team: 2022-23 Colorado Avalanche
Initial Creation Date: Oct. 18, 2021
Published: Oct. 18, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Just want to see how the dominos would need to fall. I don't think it works for either side, as the Avs can't give up their cheap, young, NHL ready talent (i.e. Byram or Newhook) if taking on the entire 10M. That's likely a deal breaker for Buffalo.

Note that I'm assuming Jack just stays on LTIR for all of this year, so I started with next season.

I think BUF would only consider if Newhook or Byram are in the deal.

That's essentially what I say in my second sentence of the team explanation. But if Buffalo won't retain, then Colorado won't give up their sure bet guys (Barron being the possible exception). Both sides walk away. If retention is on the table, things could be different.

If Helleson was Newhook, yeah they consider it. Sabres can take on cap dumps too

I just dont think here is anyway you can do it without Newhook. He has the be the centre piece for the sabres to consider it
wish the was all they wanted though bc it looks good

byram is 100% off limits, just like how other teams Byram level young players are off limits, Krebs, Laf, Kakko etc. Buffalo doesnt have the trade leverage here

Agree. I don't think Joe budges on Newhook without retention on Jack though.

I think buffalo is going to be in for a world of hurt until they do. longer they drag this out, the more time Eichel misses and is unable to get healthy. He was injured on March 7th. If he got the surgery today, he still will have missed a full year (6 weeks till he is on the ice 3-4 months of rehab to clear). They drag this out any longer he wont healthy to play at all this season with the only hopes of playing if he is moved to play-off team

If they hold onto him until this offseason his NMC kicks in and he has a big signing bonus, teams probably dont want to shell out a 8m signing bonus for a guy who hasn't played hockey in over a year and a half.

Its crazy how badly they painted themselves into a corner
