Thread: Eichel

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike_Gartner</b></div><div>no, i understand leverage.
in this scenario, Buffalo doesn't have any...</div></div>
That’s exactly the point. In my opinion, this is lower than eichel’s worth, but probably a little higher than what most would want to pay right now. Hence, a solid offer for the Sabres to consider

Are you confusing value with leverage and what teams may offer to take advantage of that leverage? Two different things.

Thread: Could this work

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Not disagreeing, who doesn't want a superstar? I also think the Kings and Sabres would make great trade partners, the issue is that the Kings have a lot more areas of concern and they can't put all their chips on one guy once the free agency/trading period opens, Blake has been trying for Eichel for two years, if he can't get it done, he needs to address the real areas of concern for the Kings (top-line LD and top-line winger). That's my two cents.</div></div>
The Kings/Eichel thing always confuses me. I never really buy it as a fit.

Thread: Could this work

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>I think the issue now is Eichel will likely take the surgery, and no trade will occur until he has recovered from said surgery. I think the Kings can't afford to wait through free agency for a chance at Eichel, and they will use their assets to get a top LD or sign a free agent winger.</div></div>
I think the recovery time for the surgery he wants is very quick.

Honestly, I think every team should want Eichel. If his value truly is down, I’d buy low, let him get the surgery, roll the dice that he comes back at an MVP caliber, and then flip him at the deadline

Thread: Another Eichel trade

Eichel is not getting traded within the division for that kind of an offer. It would need to be a severe overpayment.

Except the Sabres had no power over hall. They weren’t going to sit on hall. They can absolutely sit on Eichel and I doubt Eichel will refuse all trades for 5 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>Long term MN has 0 cap; no young FWDs except Eichel, Kaprizov, and JEE; and an ageing d-corps. Any prospects are still at least a year away, and outside of Rossi, are likely bottom-6 players.</div></div>
Trade the d corps, regardless. Forwards drive offense anyway, not dmen. Trade dumba for a couple forwards. I’m not saying in addition to an Eichel trade. Forget Eichel. I don’t wanna trade him to MN anyway. In general, trade Dumba. Try to add depth that way.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spanky227</b></div><div>All I’m saying is that he may not be comfortable ever playing without the surgery, and Buffalo hasn’t let him get it yet. The situation can get worse than it is. Once his nmc kicks in it just makes it that much harder. Similar situation that Buffalo was in with taylor hall where the return wasn’t great.</div></div>
But different in that hall was a UFA and Eichel has five more years left on his deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalojonny</b></div><div>LOL. It's supposed to be Rasmum Dahlin trade but my stupid Google auto correct changed it.</div></div>

This is an interesting idea. I assume you have the Sabres taking Power at 1. This would give them flexibility to trade Eichel for the best offer and not need to get a center in return for him.

I’ll be honest, this trade makes way more sense to me from a kings standpoint than an Eichel trade. I just don’t see why they’d want him right now. They’re not there.

Thread: Jack to minny

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>No they aren't. They become a 1 scoring line team, 1 shutdown line (low end 2nd line/high end 3rd line), an okay 4th line and an AHL quality line. Eichel is good for a PPG, maybe hits 100p if he can stay healthy (which he hasn't yet). As soon as he gets hurt MN's season is over. They basically become a version of the 17/18 Sabres with a better d-corps.</div></div>
We could go back and forth all day. I understand why you wouldn’t wanna do it, but trust me. You’d win that trade long term. I understand it creates holes, so maybe it’s not a fit.

I think the Sabres should throw in Cozens too. Maybe add jokiharju as well.

Too much quantity for Jack. It needs more quality. Also, no way the Sabres are accepting a 1st two years from now.

I understand your concern, but Minnesota is a better team with Eichel than they are with fiala, greenway and boldly. They obviously need to fill some voids, but that’s a steal for Jack Eichel.

Thread: Get rid of the bad culture

I’m sorry. How exactly are Eichel and Reinhart bad for this hockey team? This culture thing is crap. The Sabres are bad because they have no depth.

Good luck. Wild aren't going to trade their good young players especially 3 of them for eichel. This is a very easily no from Minnesota. No team especially wild are going to take away from their roster, & depth for eichel</div></div>

No one has to. The Sabres aren’t pursuing trades. Other teams are calling the Sabres. Also, you have no idea how good Jack Eichel is. If you did, you’d be pissed that a team traded him for that package.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spanky227</b></div><div>With him not getting the surgery yet, you don’t even know if he’s even going to play this upcoming season. Neck injuries are no joke. It’ll be a lot harder if he doesn’t play AND then you tack on that his NMC kicks in after the season ends, the return will simply be bad at that point. You’ll be able to kiss players like kakko & turcotte goodbye and it’ll be like kaliyev, a 1st & 2nd or Jones, Chytil and a 1st</div></div>
Or they just keep him. You don’t sell Jack Eichel for pennies on the dollar. If you’re not willing to pay up for an elite center, then you can’t have him. That should be Adams’ point of view. You don’t have to trade him and keeping a superstar is not a punishment for the Sabres.
