Thread: Realistic Eichel Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres923</b></div><div>They have already committed to getting a teams top prospect they aren’t going to back out now and settle for B/C prospects.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Patrick is a certified bust that offer is way too low</div></div>

This quote from the above perfectly encapsulates the ridiculousness of the logic of this:

"Not to mention, the argument of “Buffalo doesn’t have to trade him” goes out the window when there’s a perception around the league that the Sabres do not want Eichel back."

No, it doesn't go out the window. The perception means nothing. Only what Buffalo actually wants to do matters and right now it looks like they're angry (and rightly so since Eichel and his agents have butchered this at least as bad as the team) and feeling no pressure at all to do anything. The entire league can perceive them to want to move him for nothing but if they don't actually want to do that then the trade doesn't happen.

Just another ludicrous trade based on flawed...I don't want to call it logic. Not even in quotes. Too insulting to the concept of logic.

No Krebs, no deal.

Thread: crazy 5 way Eichel deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Retention doesn't cost that much. For instance, VGK paid like a 5th for Leafs to retain $1,4M when they traded for Lehner.

Also it's an interesting idea, but if we consider what the teams lose compared to what they get, we have:
VGK:
- gets Eichel
- loses Krebs, Dugan, Smith, 2022 1st (VGK), 2023 1st (VGK)
- just not worth it imo

BUF:
- gets Krebs, Dugan, 2022 1st (VGK), 2022 1st (EDM), 2023 2nd (EDM)
- loses Eichel
- slight overpayment for Eichel imo

EDM:
- gets Smith, Georgiev
- loses Koskinen, 2022 1st (EDM), 2023 2nd (EDM)
- meh, but with the retentions in place possible

ARI:
- gets Koskinen, 2023 1st (VGK), 2022 3rd (NYR)
- loses Dvorak
- bad value for ARI

NYR:
- gets Dvorak
- loses Georgiev, 2022 3rd (NYR)
- complete steal for the Rangers

I'll give you props for creativity, but imo the values here just don't add up.</div></div>

A Rangers fan making a ludicrous ACGM where the Rangers steal players? No! Never seen that before! Preposterous!

The consistency of the just brutally bad takes by NYR fans is incredible.
