Thread: (BUF/VGK) - Eichel, 2023 3rd for Krebs, Tuch, 2022 1st, 2023 2nd
Vegas has only 2 players that they have ever drafted in the first round that haven't been traded. Expect Brendan Brisson and Zach Dean to get traded soon.

As for the trade itself, I voted fair deal. Eichel was hurt, Buffalo did a terrible job managing him with his injury, and I expect to see him do very well in Vegas. Tuch is a good player who I'd imagine being a top 6 forward for a team like Buffalo. Krebs is a good prospect, but didn't get the minutes in Vegas for him to thrive. A top 10 protected 1st is a fair addition, then a 2nd for a 3rd downgrade is fair as well.

Overall, This isn't a terrible trade for both sides. Vegas gets a true 1st line center, while Buffalo gets a good return and rips the Band-aid off.

But, we all win for not having to see anymore Eichel trade ACGMs.
