If anything I might want to explore trading Schmidt for Risto. I don't think Edmonton lets 'Nuge go, they'll extend him. If they don't, they really have nothing beyond McElbow and that German weirdo for C depth. EDM has 24 mil in cap space, and it sounds like they are close to extending Larsson too.

Yeah, but the question is does Nuge want to stay there. He will always get overshadowed by the big 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his AAV is 7.5 I think he'll gladly do that for 5 or 6 more years. We'd have to pay him something close to that, and tbh I don't think he's worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Just a thought, Sam Reinhart also wants out of Buffalo and he’d be a LOT cheaper than Eichel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Stamkos Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I’d be going after Reinhart over Eichel. Plays wing, centre had a great second half of the year, plays defence, and is only 25. He would also come in way cheaper than Eichel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbriggs Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 12 hours ago, Patel Bure said: Eichel and Petey as a 1-2 punch would immediately put us on the map. We’d be in the same conversation as Toronto, Edmonton, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay go as far as 1-2 punch combos down the middle go. More importantly however, is the perception that it would create amongst UFA’s. With Eichel and Petey up the middle, high ticket UFA’s would likely have Vancouver at or near the top or their priority lists. Horvat + 1st = me driving Bo to the airport myself. A core centered around Eichel, Pettersson, Hughes, Boeser, and Demko would be 90’s Detroit and 10’s Chicago level $&!#. I would honestly go as high as Horvat, 1st, and one of Podz or Rathbone. No on Podz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Overpaid, entitled and cry baby. That "disconnect" is just a pretext to get out of Buffalo, IMO, which Eichel have been wanting for a while. He's suppose to be the 10M$ man, the face of that franchise. Yes the team could have done better surrounding him, but at the same time, he wanted that big contract and with that come the responsibility of dragging your team on your back, which he hasn't done for them. As talented a hockey player he his, hard pass for me. He's just that, a talented individual, but doesn't appear to be a great leader or making the players around him better. At that price range and the asset required to acquired him, that's an easy pass. He'll never live up to his expectations and that contract. He's a younger version of Taylor Hall or Phil Kessel IMO. Unidimensional player, who one day might be traded to a contender and help them win the cup with salary retained, but otherwise, he'll never be the face of a contending franchise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 That team should have performed a lot better than they did this year. Unfortunately for them, they were caught in a very tough division in this Covid alignment. They should be contending for a playoff spot, especially when they had a healthy Hall, Eichel, Reinhart, Dahlin, Risto, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) The Canucks don’t need Eichel. Not one bit. They need Horvats, Boesers, Podkolzins, Millers, and some serious nasty Ds. Lunch bucket style. Edited May 11, 2021 by Me_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
