Thread: Friedman on the Sabres
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil1122</b></div><div>LA always seems to be in the talks for big-name players. If they are willing to give Turcotte+prospect+8th pick for Eichel, that could make sense
The Wild surprisingly have 22 million in cap space for the offseason. If they have salary going back to Buffalo like Dumba or Greenway, they could afford Eichel
I agree with Vegas but they could trade one of their goalies to clear cap space for a center. Reinhart is a better fit for Vegas
Anaheim is making a hard push for Eichel. They might be willing to give up Comtois, some other mid tier prospects, + 3rd overall pick for Eichel
Calgary fans were willing to trade Tkachuk + pick for Eichel

I think Sabres will get a bit disappointed with the return, but they still get a solid return for both Reinhart and Eichel</div></div>

Everyone needs to remember a healthy Jack Eichel on a good team is a 100 pt per year player. Teams will need to pay a price for him. These trades of a prospect, pick and roster player for him will not be enough. Its multiple picks, multiple prospects and a roster player to get it done.

Thread: Friedman on the Sabres
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Theo_nollaf</b></div><div>I really don't understand why the Ducks and the Jackets are in on Eichel. Those are two teams that would be giving up so much to get Eichel that they would be as terrible as Buffalo when he plays there and Eichel wants to be on a contender imo. Also to say that Drysdale and Zegras are off the table for Eichel is wrong, they need to give one of them up (Prob Zegras) to get Eichel or else it's probably Comtois + plus lots of picks and lots of prospects which would be worse for Anaheim.</div></div>

You're right about the Ducks. But the Bluejackets would still have a solid team around Jack. They have 3 first round picks, giving up 2 of those and Merzilikins plus a prospect gets the deal done.

Thread: Eichel to the Ducks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salzy</b></div><div>David Pagnotta : "The Ducks have made it clear they have no interest in moving top prospects Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale, though other young highly touted players could be available, including Isac Lundestrom, Sam Steel, Jacob Perreault and Brayden Tracey"

From an article talking about Ducks trade options this off-season (specifically mentions Eichel)

Like it or not Sabres arent getting either of them</div></div>

There are most likely 8-10 legit contenders for Eichel. If the Ducks wont give up either, then GMKA wont do a trade with them. There are not a lack of options for the Sabres here. Columbus, LA, Minnesota and Philly can put together better offers. The only way this Ducks/Sabres speculation is heatinf up is that the Ducks are willing to move either Drysdale or Zegras, or they are willing to send 3 or 4 1st/2nd Rd picks.
