Would be a horrible trade for the Sabres so hey maybe it will happen. And Mika has No Move Clause. What are the chances he waives that clause to go to Buffalo? Especially now with how the Sabres are treating Eichel. I think the Wild should use Kaprisov to get Eichel. Might need a third team though. Kaprisov would just stay in Russia instead of going to Buffalo. Maybe Kaprisov to the Habs? Kotkeniemi + 2 firsts to Buffalo? Eichel to Minnesota? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 All teams are limited to a maximum of 3 retained salary contracts per season. Teams cannot retain an aggregate amount of more than 15 percent of the Salary Cap Upper Limit. Players' contracts are limited to 2 retained salary transactions per contract.Jun. 28, 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically they'd probably have to move other cap as well. Mika would fit pretty well into a Canucks' jersey ;). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this juncture, the Canucks seem to be pretty set for the season and therefore probably pretty much out of every trade and signing not named Hughes or Pettersson.

4petesake Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Eichel isn’t the first to question Buffalo’s medical department. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) So here’s this. Eichel has a $10MIL cap hit. Pettersson will probably be in the $8MIL range. Buffalo doctors are horrible. Canucks doctors are Ace. VAN Eichel BUF Pettersson 1st in 2024 (pending on Eichel being healthy for, at the latest, the start of the 2024 season, if healthy earlier, (amount of games) the 1st becomes a 2023 1st) Clean. Why Vancouver does this; they get a number one center who will need recovery. His preference is cyborg. Go for it kid. We get a McDavid / Eichel Rivalry for the next five-six years. McDavid is already so pissy. Imagine him having to face Eichel multiple times a year. That could do major sales at all levels of the game. Eichel is the 2OA15. Benning turns the 5OA17 into the 2OA15, advancing the plan much faster, as Eichel is a better player than Pettersson. ________________________________________ Buffalo messed up huge and need to rid themselves of a super mess. They turn their 1C into a 1C. Clean. ________________________________________ In the long run, this makes sense for Buffalo. Pertersson gets his wish to play for a “winning team.” Eichel recovers and we get 6 years of a 24 year old who needs short term attention; neck surgery. And best of all for everyone, Miller gets to center another year as Eichel recovers. _________________________________________ If it doesn’t fit the Cap when Hughes re-signs, another trade needs to be made. MILLER - EICHEL - BOESER HÖGLANDER - HORVAT - GARLAND PEARSON - DICKINSON - PODKOLZIN This is a huge top 9.

If Petey gets that offer it’s for 7 years. We keep him. We win 3 Cups during those seven years. No interest in Eichel, even if healthy - which he’s not.

We Are All Cucks Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Just read this article: https://thehockeywriters.com/flames-news-rumors-eichel-kylington-captaincy-more/ about the Flames having interest. What struck me was the asking price being so high. I mean, is it realistic at this point that Buffalo can still be asking what they are? Does anybody here still think Sabres are getting the equivalent of four 1st rounders, as mentioned? It seems absurd. This is from the article mentioned: Quote First, she mentioned that the asking price from the Sabres appears to be the equivalent of four first-round picks. She gave three examples of what a package could look like, with the first being Matthew Coronato, Jakob Pelletier, Jusso Valimaki, and a 2022 first-round pick. The second option was Coronato, Pelletier, Connor Zary, and a 2022 first-round pick. The final option she suggested was Coronato, Zary (or Pelletier), and both a 2022 first-round pick and 2023 first-round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
