Thread: tank while waiting for Eichel

Fair. Thanks.



I understand this was the mindset when Montreal was in the Finals and Buffalo was in the lottery. They're roughly last and 1st overall, this week?

I built the Eichel trade from one that a Buffalo fan suggested in a MTL thread's comments, this summer. I swapped Drouin in for a 1st because a 1st place team with injuries up the middle could use two skill guys who can play center, more than they could use just one and a draft pick. The other stuff is from some other Sabres fan. If you want to look up who and argue with them, it's about three pages back under Habs teams. I think it had Eichel in the title.</div></div>

We are rebuilding, we don't want players who are 7 and 8 years past their draft year and zero draft picks

Thread: Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SalamiCheese</b></div><div>Sabres decline. Two players that we do not need, and two prospects that have not yet shown themselves in any way. It is clear that Columbus will not trade Sillinger, but the offer is not impressive.</div></div>

I agree, Sillinger or Johnson NEEDS to be the centerpiece with less surrounding it. For instance Domi (1 yr to UFA), Kent Johnson, 2022 1st, Conditional 2023 3rd or something. No way the Sabres are looking for a higher quantity of pieces that don't fit their timeline. It's more about 1 or 2 Major pieces to help spark the rebuild like a Kent Johnson or Cole Sillinger and the first. That would leave a center core of Eichel, Sillinger, Foudy + which I don't think is anything to look down at. Maybe send Bryson back the other way as a cheap RFA LD.

Obviously a very complicated decision with Jack's injury, but if your team doctor's don't like what they see when they review the files don't make the trade. You can't get a top 10 Center in the world for pennies on the dollar. Luckily none of us have to worry about making that decision though because it certainly is not an easy one...
