Thread: Asking Price for Jack Eichel
Right but that's not really how this goes...

-Eichel's only being traded if he demands a trade
-If he demands a trade, he's going to have 1-3 teams he specifically wants to be traded to
-At that point, Buffalo pretty much has no leverage. Whatever "asking" price there was you can chop off about 25-50%
-Sabres will probably trade him at that point because if you don't
a) Eichel will probably sit out (and it's not like he can't afford to)
b) Eichel will bad-mouth the Pegula's publicly to the point where they'll ship him out just so he can stop.
c) Other players are going to want to go to Buffalo less than they already do (which is pretty low)

It's going to make signing UFA's and signing NCAA players very hard in the future if you put up too much of a fight.

So if your ask is
1) Top Prospect
2) Top Pair/Top Line player
3) Top 15 Draft pick
4) 1st Rounder

What you could reasonably expect is
1) Top Prospect
2) Solid Young Top 6/Top 4 Player
3) A late 1st
4) Either another late 1st/early 2nd or a solid prospect or young player.

And that's basically what Gretzky got minus the cash.

Thread: Blockbuster makes leafs crazy good
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Couturier</b></div><div>I don't know if this is a troll post or not, but you're taking three untouchable players from Philly.

Couturier is more valuable than Tavares.

We don't need or want Marner.

Niskanen is our only first pairing defenseman.

You're never getting Hart. Leafs fans need to stop trading for him.

It's not even cap compliant for the Flyers.

Please consider our own needs and surpluses before you throw out an offer.</div></div>

Leafs fan here..... and I just trashed it for you.

Read my comments. You will enjoy them lol

"On the Philly side, hey massivley upgrade centre and RW, for Couturier (he is good), and what would be a contract dump given the depth of the Philly blueline system. Then what is after Hart? NOTHING! The deal creates a problem in Philly that took them 30 years to solve!!!! No. No. No. No. You aren't going to sell me on how good Marner and Tavares are. 30 years!!!!! Best tender the Flyers have had since effin' Hextall! Fletcher would be fired for picking up the phone, nevermind actually making the deal."

Great point on the cap compliancy as well. Missed that one.

Thread: Stars Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>firezfurx</b></div><div>Since when is a 30 pt player worth a 2nd and a 3rd? If Kerfoot, who is fairly consistently 40 pts on a fair salary is worth a 2nd then Faksa IS NOT worth a 2nd and a 3rd.
We don't need or want Honka either, he would be burried in the AHL.

Also just thought I would point out the prod minute for Faksa compared to our depth C option

Faksa: 52. 26


Spezza: 25. 07
Gauthier: 47. 43
Kerfoot: 34. 17

So ya, we have 3 of our depth C options producing at a higher rate then Faksa. Even if we move Kerfoot then Gauthier is still the better option.</div></div>

Because Faksa is close to elite defensively. He was 24th last year in Selke voting, 7th year before that...

He doesn't contribute that much offensively, but defensively he's a stud.

Let's just say that DAL is not moving him without 2nd and 3rd. He brings so much on the ice for his team.
