Thread: DET nets Eichel EDM sheds Salary BUF rebuilds 3-team deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>chrishabbo</b></div><div>**Forgot to add Michael Rasmussen in the deal. going to Buffalo from Detroit**

Buffalo gets a very solid return in the form of draft compensation for their disgruntled superstar, while shedding nearly $40m worth of Jeff Skinner's contract. They do retain a bit of salary and take on the final year of Koskinen's deal from Edmonton in order to maximize their return.

Edmonton sheds two albatross contracts and pays a rather steep, yet worthy price to create some cap space and get their superstar duo some help in an effort to compete right away.

Detroit surrenders a bit of draft capital and takes on some massive deals but, that nets them a generational Center that is in his prime and will help transition this Red Wings team into the future and back to respectability.</div></div>

The problem with this is BUF isn't going to retain any salary on Eichel. If he truly is a generational player as you state, the team bringing him on should have no issue taking on his full cap hit. There's also no point in retaining 50% on Skinner for the next 6 years, as his true value is around $4.5 and you might as well keep him. Finally, they need a few prospects / young players coming back in the Eichel trade. It's all well and good to get a bunch of picks, but you really have no idea how those are going to turn out.

Thread: My buddy wanted me to post this to get thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wagsnags</b></div><div>If Theodore can be looked at as a cap dump..... I do not think he is a cap dump I would be ecstatic to include Theodore in the overall deal. I will assume Mangler was being tongue in cheek with the idea but i am willing to give it a shot in a trade:

Eichel for Glass, Theodore, Fluery..... for Adams to take Fluery in the deal he would have to have a deal in place to move him on to another team while retaining salary)

The issue I am having is that I see Theodore as a big plus to the Sabres and I see Fluery as an albatross to the Sabres. I am not sure how Vegas management views those two players.</div></div>

I like glass alot over Krebs. Would u rather have tuch or Theodore if we could only get one?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wagsnags</b></div><div>Your buddy needs to put the bottle down and go to bed.... There is no way that either team would move forward with this deal as other have posted previously.

Here is why GM Kevin Adams would not even entertain a discussion the players coming back do not fit into his overall game plan moving forward. Adams wants FUTURES for Eichel. He is smart enough to realize he has a roster that is a few years from competing. Adams does not want a 28 yo and 30 yo in return. Glass &amp; Krebs would be the start of the discussion for Adams...... Draft Picks 2021 &amp; 2022 1st Rounders.... so if Vegas has no interest in discussing those 4 elements as a footprint for a deal he moves on.

Do not get me wrong I am NOT saying all four elements have to be in the deal but those 4 pieces is what Adams will be sniffing.</div></div>

I agree, but they also need to take some kind of big cap hit from Vegas.

Thread: Reinhart to VGK
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wagsnags</b></div><div>Well of course GM Adams pounces all over that I think he says DEAL when Tuch or Glass is the first thing out of the Vegas GM's mouth.

I may be wrong and usually am but I find Tuch and Samson very similar players so no reason to swap them IMO..... I am a huge fan of Samson's game and the fact he is not a whiner or complainer..... I would prefer that Adams not move him but instead keep him and make him your Captain and leader of the rebuild Part 72..... Though Cody Glass for Samson I would have to say YES straight up.</div></div>

I agree samson has more value then tuch. Even though both really good players and pretty equal. Almost like picking pominville over Stafford. Playing different styles. Tuch plays with size. Maybe we need size
