Thread: Somewhat different approach
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jmorrin</b></div><div>This is interesting if you think past a knee-jerk reaction. Ultimately, with Buffalo $30M over the cap pre-Eichel salary shed, I don't think taking on Trouba is a big deal. He'd instantly be a top pair defenseman for them. I just think the concept of taking on Skinner and JT contracts are too tough of a taste to go through with. Not to mention the NMC, which Trouba would never waive. Definitely an interesting thought, and not as crazy as I'm sure people will say!</div></div>

Thank you. My attempted justification for Trouba waiving is Fox pushing him off the #1 positions, and Lundkvist potentially taking him off the #2 power play as well. Maybe NYR can use this for a reason that his playing time will be severely limited. Maybe even threaten a buyout in a few years.

Trouba isn't nearly as bad as anyone says... just, Adam Fox was much better than anyone thought. He's overpaid by 1 or 2 million dollars. Other than that, he's very good

Thread: Somewhat different approach
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tea</b></div><div>why would u use kreider on the right and goodrow as a center? this doesnt work for a lot of reasons, mainly that the rangers wouldnt make that trade. its somehow both an overpay and a trade the sabres dont want at the same time.</div></div>

I'm confused, why wouldn't you put Kreider on the right and Goodrow at center? They both have history playing these positions, and the Rangers need them to play these positions, especially given the deal if they want Eichel. Or do you want to have Kreider as the 3rd line LW, and Goodrow as the 4th line LW, and much lesser players playing where they are on this list? Goodrow has good faceoff stats on SJS... and considering how bad NYR is at the dot, fairly great

Thread: Based on new rumors
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Solid input from both of you.
I am a Sabre fan here and think this would be the MAX that Buffalo could expect in an Eichel trade.
I hope we can agree on this.
While Buffalo does not need D-men prospects, I think without Ristolainen, Miller will get more PP time and could return to his previous offensive output then the Sabres could flip him at the TDL.
TBH, I think Girgensons would be included in the trade instead of Miller.
I understand the Rangers are looking to add some grit to the bottom 6.
I am probably rating Zemgus too high but the 2022 2nd would be close to his value.</div></div>

Zemgus could potentially work now, since the Rangers are rumored to be signing Nemeth. I figured they'd want someone short term while the rest of their D prospects develop, and Miller could have worked there, but such is life haha.

Either way, good to see a Buffalo perspective on it. Thanks!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>When you’re giving up 8 pieces to get 2 in return you’re likely not making a good trade. Sabres will want quality over quantity.</div></div>

Any team trading for Eichel will be giving up 4 or more pieces... some extras here for the other guy and to help sway the decision to NYR. There are also RFA pieces which probably don't amount to a full thing. I'm not seeing any other team with a better offer here; two middle 6 centers one very young, a top 6 young winger, a young goalie with starter or 1A/1B potential, a young 2nd pairing defenseman with power play QB ability, and a 3rd pairing defensive defensemen, and draft picks... compliments existing pieces (Cozens, Dahlin, etc) on BUF very well
