Thread: The Unthinkable
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>Damn, quiet day in Boston, eh? Quite the gangbang we got going here.

&gt;I'm not saying he's a bust, I'm saying he's been pretty over-rated in the trades I've seen. Case in point being this one here. BUF loses this trade quite handsomely, and the trade guy is trying to say this is some kind of overpayment
&gt;You're definitely right on the statement of people making their opinions on numbers and whatnot... even though your counter argument is all about numbers, but we'll let that go... admittedly, my most time seeing him in the regular season was last year. And I understand covid being a big factor and whatnot. But I've seen him in the playoffs all the years before, and he's never stood out to me then. The numbers verify that. There is probably a big reason why every year they go out for a big rental on the wing, and especially going for Hall long term
&gt;His other regular season numbers besides last year, all look good. But, "GOOD". Not an Eichel overpay. Not a bust. Good. If you want to be mad at everyone else's comments, that's fine, but go harass them. I really don't think I'm saying much off the board here.
&gt;Since for whatever reason Buchneivich has entered the conversation, you can go through my armchair GM teams and look at all my Eichel trades... they were Buch + WAY more than what is being offered on this trade. Buch also has intangibles that don't show up on the scoresheet, such as his PK prowess and two-way game. I have not seen that in Debrusk</div></div>

Debrusk is probably the 5th part of this trade.

Thread: Buf fans gonna hate it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>They aren’t all prospects so again, just say you know nothing about them.

BUF isn’t getting a player that will be as good as Eichel. BUF has already lost the trade before it was even made. No one is giving up a Zegras or Byfield type of prospect.

Also Eichel is no longer a sure thing. He has a serious injury that BUF fans seem to just ignore.</div></div>
I’ve said it many times but other fans seem to forget. Buffalo has all the leverage, Eichel has none. He has a five-year contract he can’t get out of, and unless the Sabres get the offer they want they are under no obligation to trade him no matter what he wants. If he is getting traded it’s because Buffalo got the offer they want. If they aren’t getting the offer they want they shouldn’t move him because like you said they can’t win the trade unless it’s something they want. I still expect that unless they get the offer they want this summer he’s going to start the season in Buffalo, prove he’s healthy and still an elite player. When his trade value is such that teams will meet Buffalo’s asking price that’s when he gets moved if at all. You don’t have to agree, and Elliott Friedman is an idiot, so his opinion doesn’t matter.
