Thread: Eichel White
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dontwhine2me</b></div><div>This trade is bigger than some are able to comprehend.
If Eichel is so incredibly talented AND wanted he would not have remained on the block for 18 months.
Teams cannot just shell out 4, 5, or even 6 pieces equivalent to 1st round picks for an injured player with attitue/maturity concerns. Also happens to carry a 10 mil per cap hit for 5 years.

Most Sabre fans expect the return for a player tier Eichel has never attained. You want to trade for the superstar you still see developing 5 years after being drafted.
It's just simply not the case.
Too big for some to comprehend.</div></div>

Lol yes, it is too big for my pea sized brain, I shouldn't even attempt to comprehend something so mind bogglingly complex

Thread: Eichel White
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Book_Hockey</b></div><div>Need someone to put the puck in the net

And who is that? Buch? The guy who's career high is 21 goals? He's not a good enough piece for an Eichel trade to be centered around. Chytil hasn't done much, although he could be a good 2C. Schneider is a good prospect but nothing outstanding. 15 overall in this draft doesn't go very far. Just an underwhelming package...it's incredible how people think Eichel's value has fallen that much.</div></div>

Buchnevich, the same guy who is 26 and can play even strength on a top line, play PP, kill penalties? He doesn't have enough value for you? Chytil? A guy that averaged over a half a point per last year with no PP ice time and extremely limited even strength time? Schneider isn't anything special? You sure about that one, scout? The guy just took home the Hunter Trophy for best d-man in the NHL and skated with Canada at the World's. You are out of your mind man, and no offense, but the comments you just made in assessing these guys show me you aren't as familiar with these guys as you try to show.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dontwhine2me</b></div><div>Yea 10 mil per.... less than 10 teams league wide can take the hit and not all of them are in the bidding.
His 5 years and 50 mil is just a smaller issue than his neck and attitude.
For instance in NY, it poses big issues resigning Zib, Fox, Miller, Kakko, Shesterkin, with Panarins 11+ mil hit. I'm sure other clubs have same issue, cap space marked for young players of their own.
Buffalo is a day late and dollar short. They should have pushed the issue last offseason. With healthy Eichel, a bidding war would have been there and their high ask could have been met.
No longer.

Overall, the scope of this trade is too much for most to comprehend, it's not EA NHL 21... or fantasy hockey swapping point producers.</div></div>

The expansion draft also comes into play also, I agree with all of this 👌

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mac11_716</b></div><div>It is asinine to think that your fifth best prospect and some throw-ins are good enough to get a player Eichel's caliber. Yes, he is injured, but you're acting as if he is the first player that has ever been injured.</div></div>

It's not asinine man, there is a reason only a few teams can take on eichel, its the cap and his 10mill with his injury and the fact he wants out! that combination of things drive down his value 5x because it's a organization crusher if u get it wrong. Eichel is a great player, no denying that, but its such a complicated situation that to assume an organization is gonna hand over a lafienre or Byfield or zegras + for that type of risk is not gonna happen. I just don't see it honestly, for buffalo's sake i hope they are made whole, but its gonna take a miracle
