Alflives Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 1 minute ago, Jimmy McGill said: the only deal I'd want Jim to do is something like two conditional 1sts, starting next year. If Eichel plays 60 games each year Buffalo gets our 1st, if not, a 3rd. I know they'd laugh and hang up, but I wouldn't trade certain assets for him with that neck problem, its too big a gamble. And those conditional picks will be a big part of any Eichel trade that is done before he plays again. No team will take such a huge risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo is floating a ridiculous balloon right now, but if someone actually presents them with a 1st and a C they'll grab it and run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 imo, Buffalo either gets what they want, or they simply don't trade Jack. Can't afford to lose on this deal, unless the gm is willing to be replaced, and makes the deal on his way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do the Sabres do after Jack has his surgery and doesn’t recover to the level of player he was before his injury? Then the ?GM will be questioned for not trading him before, and at least gett8ng something, including dumping the contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell their fans that it was worth the risk; A healthy Jack is a heck of a hockey player, guy went number two overall, behind only a "generational player".

The Sabres ask from the Hawks was rumoured to be Dach, the 11th, and then 4 more pieces. Hell no. Wouldn't even trade Dach straight up for him. Sabres are vastly overrated this drama queen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eichel is a top 5 centre in the league if healthy. He's not healthy though and he may never be healthy. That injury could be something that forces him to retire. Eichel isnt a top 5 centre when healthy. Not even close. Edited June 24, 2021 by EddieVedder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's literally McDavid or 25 year old Crosby return. Not Eichel....Eichel isn't even McKinnon and he's one bad hit away from drinking through a straw 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's....one year. Lemme tell ya a little bit about former super star goal scoring threat Jonathan Cheechoo. Or Milan Hejduk. Star goalie Olaf Kolzig. Maybe Norris winner PK Subban. They all had one good year too. One year....prior to that he was 13th, then 18th and before that not even top 25.

Plaguez Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I could see a team like Calgary swinging a trade for Eichel. They have the pieces needed. Tkachuk wants out and doesn't have any trade protection. Tkachuk, 1st, 2 2nds next year and a prospect could get it done. Buffalo gets a goal scorer with grit, picks and a prospect, Calgary moves a guy who doesn't want to be there & brings in a marquee name to match against McDavid a bunch of times a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
