Thread: Realistic Eichel to WPG

And then when PLD forces his way out of his 2nd organization the Sabres will be left with....what?

Not to mention, you think Eichel will want to play in Winnipeg? That city sucks

Thread: Now with Freddy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oilfan1717</b></div><div>Freddy hasn’t been steady in the later half of this year. Even so, he’s not signing that contract - I suspect he’ll get 3.5-4.5M on a 3-4 year deal. The Devils would have to be on the high end of that scale, as I can’t imagine Anderson is all that enthusiastic about taking his talents to New Jersey.</div></div>

"taking his talents to new jersey"

This is the typical statement made by someone who has no idea what living in NJ or the NYC area is like

Thread: An Eichel trade that maybe makes sense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>Yeah, not sure if Buffalo could even it out with prospects of their own. I'm just saying, Eichel is a top 5 center in this league in my opinion, you're not gonna get him for Strome and junk like all the other trades on here. The trade is kind of lopsided also due to cap implications; Zibanejad and Fox (out of the players I didn't trade) need contracts next year. Strome and Buch are the most tradeable pieces we wouldn't miss an incredible amount to free up cap space, if you get my meaning

Georgiev goes because Igor cemented the #1, and he could (probably) help out Buffalo's weird goaltending circus over there, given that Ullmark likely won't be back</div></div>

You're probably right on all accounts. I wouldnt worry about the winger depth, as you have two top 10 picks in there along with Kreider and Bread. People were clamoring for Krav to be in a top 6 role, and now that he is via this trade, people complain

Thread: An Eichel trade that maybe makes sense

This trade is overkill, and I think you know it, but played it conservatively so no one came at you with "Buffalo laughs and hangs up the phone".

I have said since day 1 that a Kakko/Lundkvist/2021 1st package should be enough to pry him away from Buffalo. If your goal is to trade Buch and Strome, I think you could trade both for 1st+ B prospects in separate deals. Georgiev is kind of whatever...goalies don't carry a ton of value in trades these days.

Thread: Jack Eichel but in 2022-23

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>I don’t disagree. I’m sure that’s where he wants to be for his whole career. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have to pay him. If they’re offering 7 and his value is 11, he’s not signing for 8 years. And if he gets to UFA quickly because the rangers fart around and blow the cap space they need to sign him long term, and they’re offering 7, while others in the league are offering 11, he’s taking the 11. No one has taken that big of a discount in league history.</div></div>

You're a Bruins fan. Marchand Bergeron and Pasta make less than 20 mil combined, and you're over here talking about how nobody takes discounts lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Why? When he forced his way to the rangers every team would have been offering him the exact same contract.</div></div>

I can't explain it other than NYC is where he wants to be. He's a Long Island native, his father has season tickets to the Rangers, he grew up being a Ranger fan. Just one of those things- home town kid wants to play for the home town team and wants to win.

Thread: Jack Eichel but in 2022-23

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhroblak</b></div><div>Fox is going to take a team-friendly deal <strong>if</strong> the Rangers are in cap hell with Eichel. I can understand Zibanejad getting $8M though. As a matter of fact I'll revise that</div></div>

Considering Fox forced (for lack of a better term) his way out of two organizations to play for the Rangers, I think it's safe to assume he takes a discount. It's infuriating, I know, but it wouldn't surprise me one but if he signed an 8x8 deal.

Thread: Jack Eichel but in 2022-23

Good value, some may call it an overpay, but I think it's right on par with what his value is right now. Might (and probably will) get away with less than this.

Thread: OH MY GOD HES BACK

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>Is that really all you think he is?</div></div>

Statistically and analytically he's had one really good season. Last year he was meh. Now when you bring in other factors (Player's Player award winner), sure, he could be worth a little more. But the 3 million price tag is what he's worth based off of his on ice performance so far through 111 games (keep in mind, playing with Fox for just about all of them if memory serves me correctly). Hard to give a guy more than that based off of a small sample size.

Thread: Ive been broken Goodbye Jack and Sam

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>That's an incredibly quick turnaround for you.

It's going to be alright though. The Sabres still have leverage until his NMC kicks in. You'll still get a solid return, but probably not the insane package that a lot of you have been asking for.

I know we've been pretty much focused on NYR/LA/CGY/Minny being the potential landing spots, but there's going to be a solid market for him.</div></div>

100% - people will lose their minds now and say the Sabres have no leverage. It's actually the opposite, as Eichel is coming off of a lousy season by his standards and has one full season and two offseasons till his NMC kicks in. Pretty simple stuff here, get healthy, play well, get traded next off season. Win win all around

Don't see what others see in Chytil, but overall I don't think it's a bad proposal. Pretty realistic IMO.

Extremely dangerous to give all that money to a one dimensional guy who disappears for long periods of time. He does one thing well, and that's shoot the puck. His defense stinks, his attitude stinks, and his effort stinks. Might be the most overhyped player in the league

Clarke is awesome, don't get me wrong. But Power is a big, strong physical d man- hopefully Bahl becomes that guy for us, but it never hurts to have two mobile guys that big on the back end. Plus I feel like he has the highest floor in the draft
