You said it right.

The guy is overpriced, and under performing.

I’d take Eichel at 50% for Eriksson, Virtanen and change.

Too much of a headache even though he is a franchise center?

 

Kinda like Hodgson situation but Eichel is a top talent.  Lol.

 

:P

 

Don't think Eichel is going anywhere unless it's cheap.  No team is going to want to lose at least 1 yr of Eichel (surgery/rehab) on top of a trading premium assets to get him.

Too much headache… litterally…

 

Too soon?

They don't really have a choice. 9M with Skinner is a stamper for the next 6 years. They don't have much talent built and most of their top end prospects(Quinn/Cozens) are gonna take time to establish themselves. They will literally be more of the same if they try to retool.

 

Risto/Reinhart/Eichel. Trading them would be a huge jumpstart to a rebuild. They could do a short term rebuild.

Will depend on who there GM will be - if it was someone like Lou with his track record, there is a good chance it will be  handled well.

 

Imo, it would probably be best to pass on these players until the Young core of the team has established themselves as the leader of this club - too expensive to acquire with no guarantees of not underperforming (Skinner).

Sounds like he’ll likely be traded before the draft according to Friedman.

 

The Kings are showing the most interest. Hopefully they trade the farm for him.

Buffalo deserves everything they get.  They screwed us in the 1970 draft and were able to build a great team around Perreault.  

 

Payback is a bi**h.  They now have to suffer with losing the McJesus sweepstakes and also getting a minimal return for their consolation prize, Eichel.  Not to mention that Skinner will be screwing them for the next 6 years.  Couldn't be happier for our cousins really...

I think Buffalo just has to bite the bullet.  They need to trade Eichel for whatever they can get, trade Reinhart for picks and prospects and buyout Skinner and Okposo and start from scratch.  Risto should be in the trade block as well or they will lose him for nothing.  They will be in rebuild mode for years.

I mean when was the last time they were not in a rebuild….

 

It feels like they’ve been in rebuild mode forever….
