Thread: a retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Austons_Math_Youths</b></div><div>I think people aren't taking into account how much Eichel's value has dropped. He can't get surgery until he's traded, so he wont play for at least this season with recovery time even if he gets traded now. That severely drops his value, plus that we don't know how he'll be post surgery. Team's can't afford to take that risk, so Buffalo will have to get much less than initially expected. Friedg made a good point that conditional picks probably need to be involved</div></div>

The 5 teams that are reportedly in on Jack are all ok with him having the disk replacement which carries a recovery time of 6-8 weeks. and there is a 90% chance that in 4 months he is the exact same player.

I think you are overestimating how much his value has dropped. If the Sabres wanted to move him for spare parts the trade would have happened already.

Zary or Coronato would have to be included without a doubt.

Thread: Is Eichel still possible
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluejackets2000</b></div><div>Have ya heard?
Eichel is injured and out of commission.
Herniated disc in his neck.
He needs surgery but hasn’t even had it yet and season starts in 3 weeks.
He wants an artificial disc replacement.
The team doctors don’t want him to risk that surgery, they want him to have a c spine fusion, which is the most relied on and less experimental/risky procedure.
Either way, he will be out for a lot longer and there is no guarantee he will fully heal and be the same player he was.
No trade has happened for him, because no team is willing to give up pre-injury asst return to get in return a big fat question mark.</div></div>

Have you heard that the disk replacement he wants has a 92% success rate? Have you heard that it has a recovery time of only 6 weeks (excluding getting into game fitness)? Did you know that the rescue surgery if it fails is the one the Sabres want? There's no risk with him if he has the surgery. He might not be the same player, sure... but there's also a 92% chance he is...

Thread: A few ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Asd24</b></div><div>Would van consider putting Padkolzin in a trade for Reinhart if buffalo took back Roussel still?</div></div>

No. Top 10 1st rounders and high end prospects are exactly what Vancouver needs to fill out their roster with cost controlled players, especially if they have upside. Reinhart is a second line RW on Vancouver, so what Buffalo apparently wants prices them out. I can see Buffalo getting a mid to late 1st rounder and a decent prospect (not a blue chipper) for him. Keep in mind the team that trades for him has to pay him upwards of 5M per year with term. IF Vancouver wants him, they should wait until he hits UFA next year and get him for nothing. Benning will be flush with cash then and is over due to add another bad contract.
