Thread: Eichel Prediction
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DennisReynolds</b></div><div>Let me ask you a question:

Let’s Say Buffalo and Anaheim were fipped, and let’s say Buffalo was three years in to a rebuild, and three years removed from a 105 point season.

Would you trade Dylan Cozens with the number two or three pick with two more pieces to acquire Jack Eichel who is coming off a neck injury and you have no idea how he is going to come back?

Not to mention yea he has term....he has plenty of term, but he has a no trade clause coming into play next season and that will only further drive down his value once that comes into play, and he is also disgruntled and to be honest, probably not a guy you’d want to have in your locker room leading a young team at this point with how unhappy he is and clearly needs a change.

I bet you wouldn’t trade Cozens who is probably as close to Zegras or Byfield as it gets.

I bet you would be willing to give up Jack Quinn, Viktor Olafsson. the number three pick, and maybe Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen for Eichel though?</div></div>

If i was Anaheim, i wouldn’t be in the market for an Eichel
They’re still too far away imo

But I’m not the Anaheim GM

Not saying Anaheim should give up the pieces it’ll take to get Eichel- just don’t think they’ll really be in the running to get him unless they do

The team who does get Eichel,
will be the team that is willing to give up their “Cozens”
Imo

Thread: Eichel Prediction
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DennisReynolds</b></div><div>The Sabres value this years drafts a lot more than other teams and they are trying to use this to their advantage.

If you’re the Ducks at the same time.....you can’t blow up the top of your prospect pool to get Eichel. Don’t get me wrong, if they get Zegras or Drysdale I’d be thrilled, but the point of getting Eichel is so you can play him with Zegras and Drysdale. Who is Eichel plying with next season if you move one of those two? Anaheim is doing this to position their team long term and revamp their organization. That’s what I added veteran guys here like Hoffman, bringing back familiar faces in Montour and re-signing Getzlaf. That’s also the perfect locker room to bring in a guy like Eichel, who has never seen what real leadership looks like.

Anaheim also has a quite a few key guys on expiring deals such as Lindholm, Manson, and I assume if they can get Getzlaf back, he’d be on a one year.

I don’t see a team in the league that is willing to do that....even the Rangers last year when they made their offer for a healthy Eichel, it was rumored not to include Lafreniere or Kakko, and was before the neck injury.

Eichel is always going to be the best player in the deal, but has to go for quantity, and a young power forward, an established top six forward, an NHL ready goalie and a top three pick in the draft to trade an injured Eichel and get him out of the Eastern Conference, I’d do that in a heartbeat</div></div>

Disagree
If higher end pieces aren’t involved, then someone else who’s willing to part with a couple of them will win the bidding for Eichel

OR

We could always keep him
He’s signed for 5 more years, so there’s no rush

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>Wow. Might it be my place here but Jdfitz77 asks for a link as to where RazWild read the reports about teams being interested, to which was provided... only then criticizes the article and blames him for his "nonsense" for something he read. Oh and that article mentioned multiple highly credible people in the reporting world, that likely have more insight than either of you. Then you both call each other immature and one decides to report the other for basically doing exactly as asked... wow. Seems like Jdfitz77 is the immature one here. Grow up there kid.

This is an opinion site. You both can't always be right but when you ask for a link and it's provided, don't be shady just because you were wrong. This is what this site has come to, a lot I find. Grow up. Be better and learn something from it instead of commenting like a whiny little kid throwing a temper tantrum that goes crying to the school principal cause he didn't like something.</div></div>

HE said “by all accounts”
that means MULTIPLE sources
He provided ONE SOURCE
And it was MEDIOCRE AT BEST, since the article he did post was a random guys OPINION about other reports from actual experts
Might has well have been written by one of us

So i was not wrong
He’s clearly here to just troll Sabres fans &amp; I’m not gonna waste my time with that kind of “nonsense”
If he had anything legitimate to back up his opinion, then I’d have had a convo with him
But clearly he did not

And btw…..
Elliott’s Friedman just TODAY said that many believe the Kings aren’t being sincere about being “out on Eichel” and Lebrun stil has LA in the top5 likeliest destinations for Eichel

But sure… take the no name guys opinion that Razwild uses as his ONLY source of “all accounts”
Even though it’s clearly not ALL accounts
It’s ONE mediocre account


And now I’m done talking to you as well
Byeeeeee

Take it with a grain of salt, as all things in life but it's sounds like things are taking shape if nothing else....</div></div>

Lololololol
Just bc that ONE article only names a handful of teams,
it doesn’t mean that more aren’t involved
And the writer was just making assumptions based off the reports fro other ppl who are actually somewhat connected
None of that is based of what HE is hearing from team sources

You said “by all accounts”
That implies much more than JUST ONE
Don’t bother me anymore with your nonsense
We’ll see what happens
Byeeeeeeeee
