Thread: Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>If eichel asks for a trade, then so be it at this point. It’s better to be trash while building towards something than being trash while not building towards something. Simply put, they aren't exactly getting anywhere with this team and I doubt eichel is happy with this teams performance as is. It’s better that he lets this team retool for a year and then actually be competitive. If not, it’s better they move him, because then they aren’t getting anywhere with him.</div></div>

Eichel being moved simply isn't an option. Sabres have been awful for a decade and another rebuild is not the way to go when you got one of the youngest and most skilled cores in the league. Your AGM isn't really a retool since you move out key players and fill those spots with prospects. The above team would certainly finish 2nd or 3rd last in the league. After seeing those results, heck ya Eichel may want to leave and I would give my consent because a team in our position CANNOT afford to rebuild anymore. We need to win NOW if we want to keep our good players in Buffalo
