Thread: Celebrating Because The Devils Want Risto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>The Devils own the 4th pick. Not hard to connect the dots on what he is suggesting here.
(Lysowki is "hearing the same as Elliotte". But Eliotte was quoting Lysowski.)
Also, "glaring need at RHD with Carrick a UFA" is quite funny considering Carrick was our 8th or 9th d-man and played mostly in AHL this year.



I took that as Risto and Ghost in same boat as cap dumps. I mean, if Ghost is a cap dump, then certainly Risto would also be one.</div></div>

I disagree, Ghost still has 2 more years on his deal. Risto has just the one and I think has more value, teams still think they can work with his physical tools. Definitely not anything substantial but I bet he fetches a couple picks.

Thread: What it would actually take to get Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Timmah007</b></div><div>Thank you!!!! I’ve been saying this for months. I’m not even sure mcdavid could fetch half the returns sabers fans seem to think. Sooo many times see “any eichel trade starts with…” like the sabers are in position of having any leverage he’s a good not great top line centre that is seriously broken and disgruntled if the injury doesn’t scare away most of the league his attitude will. This is one case I gotta say accepting pennies on the dollar is the best case scenario it’s a distraction and negative look on the franchise longer this drags out.</div></div>

"He's a good not great top line center" he was top 5 in hart voting just last year, averaged ppg with a broken rib this year. The team sucking is the only reason his "attitude" is bad, ROR was the same reasoning and suddenly that disappears when you start winning.

Thread: What it would actually take to get Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike_Gartner</b></div><div>this is a bad take. the ship has sailed on the "if an outrageous offer does not present itself, Buffalo will keep him" narrative. things are so bad between Buffalo and Eichel, that relationship is over.
in regards to interest in Eichel, it will be a bidding war from the bottom up not the top down.
sure, "half the league" is going to call on Eichel, but the number of teams that will submit quality offers is probably 5 teams or less.
if you are expecting this type of return for an injured, disgruntled, and all but demanded out Eichel - it will be a long summer for you.
regardless of the outcome, it can be guaranteed that Eichel will not be in Buffalo come next season and either will Byfield or Laf...

GOODBYE JACK!</div></div>

Insider Mike Gartner, obviously it's a serious situation but no one knows if the relationship is over, both sides have reasons to be cautious- Eichel for his health and the Sabres for the $ they have invested in him but he's under contract for 5 more years. They will not take an offer under his value since the ROR situation ended so poorly and if he does ultimately get healthy through rehab or surgery he will not be sitting out.
