Thread: Eichel

WEEEEEEEEE</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>I dont care so much about the retention if its like a million, but we would have to be able to flip girard for an A forward prospect- and i have pretty serious doubts that you can. Top 4 left d, even on a great contract, i dont think thats a piece that you can flip for the piece that makes this trade work. And of course, the sabres may have drawn a line in the sand with the retention, which, ya know, is fine, eichel is a 25 year old franchise center, its not like skinner, where you would have to retain just to get him down to a cap hit where he might hold some value. Plus the pegulas are sick of paying people to not work for them, cant imagine after how the last 6 months have gone that they wanna retain for 5 years on him.</div></div>

I have seen similar comments from Sabres fans a number of times now. #1, Girard has been just as good or better on the right over his career. #2, his contract is a steal. Any team should be thrilled to have him at that price. #3, you can trade LHD prospects.

I don't understand having even the slightest reluctance on Girard or wanting to flip him considering the above.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>That’s not short changing for Hertl. Olausson (a recent 1st) is killing it in Barrie and looks like a solid top 6 scoring winger. Helleson is destroying at BC, and imo is a future 2nd pairing guy. Throw in the first and that is VERY solid offer. Personally I wouldn’t do it, I’d go someone cheaper and then target Hertl in FA.

No need to send a 5th for that Kravtsov swap, though I wonder if the Rangers would be more interested in Bowers as a center.

And ah yes, for the bajillion he time, Compher is not a cap dump. Ffs MacDermid got the Kings a 4th. Compher is the kind of guy that would really help a fringe playoff team.</div></div>

Yeah I think it's a reasonable offer for Hertl if OO keeps it up. I also wouldn't be shocked if another team beat it though, especially if SJ retains.

On Compher, he's only considered a dump in the description here because of the need to move salary. As I stated above, he's a decent bottom six player. His is the contract I'd move in order to add a Hertl though. Simple as that. MacDermid makes peanuts. That helped his value. Teams that can take on JT's salary are limited. That's why he'd likely bring similar or perhaps even less (imo).

On Kaut vs Kravtsov, maybe but it's just a fifth so I'd personally be willing to add if it helps get it done. I would prefer the higher ceiling player in him vs the higher floor guy in Kaut (that's how I view them anyway).
