Thread: Really like this three team trade idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Islesforthecup</b></div><div>Again i wasnt saying COL should do it. I personally think its a bad trade for them. I was just commenting on your original post where you where you said



And i was saying that its 1 trade so you dont end up with komarov and that that trade isnt on its own. Its part of a bigger deal thats all.</div></div>

I get all that but you are trading Girard for a late 1st a 4th liner and 2 b prospects, he is worth significantly more. Justifying a bad trade because you end up with Eichel is what bad GM’s do.

And you create a situation where next season you have $25M for 2 goalies, 2 dmen, and 4 forwards including what $6M for Kuemper because you can’t lose him for nothing after the price they paid.

Would it be awesome to have Eichel as the 2C absolutely, but even at $8.5M and MacKinnon at his current hit you have $40.5M tied up in 5 players, not really ideal for any sort of depth. I’ll take the 6 pieces traded away over a potential question mark all day.

They are getting freaking jobbed for a guy that honestly at best plays in the post season. 2 PREMIUM assets in Girard and Newhook, 2 high end assets in Olausson and the 1st, 2 good assets in the 2nd and Compher (and don’t try the bs that Compher is a cap dump he isn’t) and a 3rd. For a guy with a serious question mark and 2 prospects that even if the trade went through wouldn’t be in at best the 3rd best prospect at their positions. That is a ton to give up off not just the current roster but the future roster. Not a fan of it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Islesforthecup</b></div><div>They dont, its a 3 team trade. Maybe read through it instead of just running straight for the comments to **** on the acgm.</div></div>

One I read it, all zero words in the description. I was trying to critique as politely as possible. COL getting destroyed in the NYI trade is ridiculous to the point of who cares what the bullish!t package is that comes from BUF. So instead of telling me what I should do you should come up with some way to refute what I’m saying. You know like how COL should trade a 23yr old top pairing dman on a long term team friendly deal, a premium prospect, most recent 1st rd pick who was awesome in camp and is tearing up the OHL, a 1st rd pick and a solid versatile veteran who is a lock for 30pts every season. Yeah the whole thing sucks.

Thread: Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>I dont care so much about the retention if its like a million, but we would have to be able to flip girard for an A forward prospect- and i have pretty serious doubts that you can. Top 4 left d, even on a great contract, i dont think thats a piece that you can flip for the piece that makes this trade work. And of course, the sabres may have drawn a line in the sand with the retention, which, ya know, is fine, eichel is a 25 year old franchise center, its not like skinner, where you would have to retain just to get him down to a cap hit where he might hold some value. Plus the pegulas are sick of paying people to not work for them, cant imagine after how the last 6 months have gone that they wanna retain for 5 years on him.</div></div>

If you can’t move a 23yr old top pairing dman on a team friendly contract for the next 5 yrs for more than a good forward prospect your GM sucks. It amazes me how people are willing to diminish the value of really good players. Girard is significantly better and cheaper than Seth Jones locked up long term and you question his value?
