Thread: Bring him in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Barbs</b></div><div>I honestly think Eichel for Kaprizov + is going to happen any day now. They're the same age and assuming Eichel's injury isn't a concern moving forward, they're both star players and have a few years of growth ahead of them. Kaprizov won't commit long term to the Wild which is probably twice as frustrating for the fan base when the Wild went ahead to create cap space for the next 2 seasons with the Parise &amp; Suter buy outs. Eichel is done with the Sabres and they currently have more cap space than any other team to entice Kaprizov to stay which makes them an ideal fit IMO</div></div>

That would be a lose-lose situation. The point of getting Eichel would be to get Kirill his center, not ship him away. The Wild would be in cap hell with Eichel, and the fans would riot if we traded away a superstar that the fanbase waited for 6 years to come over. And if Kaprizov doesn't want to sign long-term in Minny, I doubt he'd sign with Buffalo at all. Might as well sign in the KHL, rather than play for the most garbage organization in the league. So the Sabres would essentially get nothing for trading their 1C.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Amakoue</b></div><div>Matt dumba isn't available. After release of Ryan suter, and lost of Carson soucy, matt dumba isn't available ,,neither is he getting traded.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>He's getting traded. It's not a matter of <em>if</em> he does. It's a matter of <em>when</em>. He probably doesn't get moved this year, but definitely in the next year or two.

We can't afford to keep him past this year. That's the bottom line fact in all this.</div></div>

Dumba is definitely getting moved, it’s just a question of when. With what he’ll cost, it would be irresponsible to sign him again. Given that this was a 22-23 proposal, I’d have a hard time saying no to this level of value. IMO this is much more than we’ll ever get.
