Thread: 3 way eichel attempt
That’s a terribly package for eichel. His value (sorry any sabres fans) is at an all time low. He’s coming off an injury riddles season and clearly disgruntled with the organization. The sabres have little leverage, not that eichel holds all the cards, but his recent injury history hurts his value. There will be no 4 1sts or anything. With the 10m cap hit in the flat cap world and injury history you’re looking at a 1st a blue chip prospect and a solid nhl caliber player. That being said, you’ll probably need to take back a bad contract and get another 2nd thrown in.

With the Chicago trade above in mind that would look like strome, dumba, rossi 1st and maybe rask for cap balancing. But not gonna get much more than that truthfully. I know it hurts to think about but the teams at a position of weakness and eichel’s value has never been lower between that cap and injuries so..... yea the above is a gross overpayment.

Thread: Asking for Trade Value
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lamar1226</b></div><div>What about a player like Buchnevich? Much younger and better point producer. Also an RFA</div></div>

I certainly would be interested in buchnevich, my concern at that point would be the cap. He’s earned a raise for sure, but foligno is locked in for 3 years. Buchnevich would be added to a top 6 that looks like kk, rossi, fiala, boldy, Zuccarello, which is pretty solid. He would likely bump zuccarello or giveboldy more time. The issue on top of the cap is foligno being a beast of a shutdown player who can also score pretty well for his supposed skill. He’s exactly what any cup contender wants in a 3rd line player, big strong, skilled smart and hard as hell to play against. That’s why the wild would be loathsome to move him. I think you’d have a much better deal looking for a greenway/buchnevich type trade. You’d still get a hulking strong player who’s younger and on a better contract but would be a good swap for the rangers and wild. Wild get a bit more skill and scoring, the rangers get a huge physical presence that can play up and down. Just my humble opinion.
