Thread: Whats The Plan Chris
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>Unless Laf and Kakko have Hart type seasons we won’t have more than 1M in bonuses to pay out so it shouldn’t be a problem. However, save that cap space for TDL deals and not dead cap signings.</div></div>

I mean why not both... like 9.4m opening night cap space mean they would have an obscene amount of TDL cap space accrued, like 20 m or something. Their actual bonus liability is much less than it was last year, the odds of them having carryover is super low, and if they do, that means they had some awesome years from the young kids AND added a bunch of pieces. If they just do nothing and open the season with almost 9m in cap space, its a massive mistake. They should be taking on some bad expiring deals from teams that need to get under the cap if they dont add Eichel.

Thread: Broken Neck trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Seeing as Adams declined Krebs, Hague, Smith, and a 1st for Eichel with some amount of retention then there is no way he will settle for less. It will be a top prospect, 1-2 roster players, at least one 1st and probably another pick or prospect</div></div>

But thats the point of this whole thing that seems to be soaring over your heads. Adams passed on offers that dont exist anymore. Vegas went out and signed people and acquired Dadonov. They cant just magic 10m in cap space between now and opening night, unless buffalo takes a ton of salary back to make it work. Which means the package you are quoting surely doesnt exist as an option anymore, and is lowered. Adams overplayed his hand, teams made other adjustments and now instead of NYR, LAK, VGK and others all bidding on Eichel, its just the NYR left. So why would Drury raise his offer? Show me one point of leverage Adams has left? Did you read the Vogl article in the Athletic? Was good stuff.

Thread: Broken Neck trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>So, the Rangers arent entitled to him and there are 30 other teams in the league, some who have put up offers similar to the Rangers. Sabre fans would rather he went to Russia for the next 5 years. No return is better than a $hit return and having that cloud hang over the franchise and players they got in exchange for him. Address the Sabres needs or waste 5 years of Eichels prime.</div></div>

Lol your response is laughable. Name me another team right now that has better assets to offer than what the Rangers have already offered and the cap space to take him on this season. I think the last reported offer was something like 2022 1st, Strome, Zac Jones and one of Chytil/Kravtsov. No one else is coming close to that and all you have is a ticking time bomb going into camp. You think the Pegula's are just gonna pay him $10m a year for 5 years knowing he never plays for them again? You think it gets easier to trade him when his NMC kicks in? You only fooling yourself if you think the Sabres have any leverage left here. Once the Kings signed Danault, your chance of a bidding war went up in smoke.
