They're on the 1-yard line and it could still take a month to get it done? Crazy. I thunk they're on the 20-yard line. Emily Kaplan's characterization is a bit ambitious, imo. We still have extremely limited information and no details beyond 2 possible teams involved.
On a separate note: I don't think either team has the prospect pool to really entice the Sabres, but they clearly want to make a deal. If I'm BUF, I sit on Eichel until he recovers from his injury. You don't sell a stock when its value is at an all-time low price. However, I picked Vegas to land Eichel months ago, before they were really in the conversation. Making a blockbuster trade is certainly the m.o. of Vegas and they desperately need a #1 C.
