Canuck Surfer Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 If we get 1st or 2knd overall? I ain't trading it for Eichel. It should be near the talent, priced at $3.75 mill for 3 years. And we have an extra $7 mill for other talent without exhausting extra assets on top. Without current injury risks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we need Miller in the deal for cap reasons I think :(. But I do really really really wanna get rid of Boeser. I cant justify why he deserves an 8M contract.

There's your mistake - Eichel isn't a 'generational talent' - McDavid is. There's a legit argument that Eichel is a 'franchise' player and I wouldn't disagree with that - but I wouldn't call him a 'generational' talent whatsoever - in my lifetime alone I've witnessed dozens of players as good or better than Eichel, but I've only seen maybe three or four players like McDavid. Nevertheless, Buffalo will, if they want to do the deed, be looking for an absolute haul from whatever team is interested and we're not even close to having the kind of organizational depth it would take to acquire Eichel without putting us in the exact same position that Buffalo is in right now which is essentially a 'never ending rebuild' despite having a franchise player to build around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think this core can win a cup (**unless demko plays like a god like against vegas and is a stone wall or we continue to suck and get wright or bedard or michkov).

I know its prob early, but would u consider Bedard a generational talent. I dont think Shane Wright is one but Bedard is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many and i absolutely do believe we have a very good core but we still need adding good players thru the draft that can help us contend for a cup.

Maybe so, I would just put him on the lower end of the spectrum of generational talent. He is a definite superstar on the cusp. I think if Eichel had the talent in front of him, he would be quite good. In fact really good. I like his play in his draft year and was the clear number 2 behind McDavid. McDavid has a player who plays at his level in Draisaitl which allows both of them to really flourish together. Eichel didn't really have anyone at that caliber to help him on his wing. I really feel for Buffalo, they got some great talents (Eichel, Dahlin) but they are totally wasting away in that dump. Even Michael Jordan needed other talent to win championships.

PositionOfPower Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 11 hours ago, Nicklas Bo Hunter said: worst we can do is 15th overall here are my top 10 (what i want) 1) Dylan Guenther 2) Power 3) Beniers 4) Luke Hughes 5) Kent Johnson 6) Brandt Clarke 7) Simon Edvisson 8) Fabian Lysell 9) Mason Mctavish 10) Zachary Bolduc I would be happy with either Johnson, Eklund, Brandt, Power. 2 very skilled forwards or 2 top dman. The rest dont really stand out for me tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 We are now in position to draft 5th overall(4th last) which is the lowest we can currently go. If we get 3 more points we move up to 7th/8th overall depending on how LA does in their last 3 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
