Not a bad return considering the situation imo Hopefully he does. Was really hoping they traded more. Took this long to be an average trade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yup. Tuch is a legit player, a 1st rd pick is a 1st rd pick, and Krebs would immediately be the best prospect in our pool if we're not counting Podz any more. Krebs? The guy is a bustaroo bonsai. Craperolla. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuch is exactly what JT Miller was in Tampa before we traded for him. A role player that has way more upside than what his numbers show. Tuch will be a 70 to 80pt player if provided Top-6 opportunities and more ice time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Pretty fair trade for both teams considering Eichel had Buffalo bent over a barrel. Hopefully the league and the other GMs don't let Vegas off easy once they have to get under the cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuch is in that area of his career where his injury history will definitely effect his game. And he's a guy who needs to play a heavy game, or he's kind of useless.

Because he hasn't looked great in his 9 games so far this season? If Krebs is a bust, then Rathbone is too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I hope this blows up in the Knights face. They have always bugged me and it seems they pushed in all their chips. This will be a most interesting trade to evaluate about middle of next season. If Eichel can get healthy and come back to be a difference maker this season I would be surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing Tuch didn't have a concussion then lol. He seems fine after the shoulder surgery too... still at his usual 50pt pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Vegas really be moving out a bunch of their original team. So much for the "us against the world" style that actually got them to the finals. Lol. But they learned from Tampa to just run LTIR and load up. If they win a cup this season I'd be pretty salty.

Boudrias Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 At first blush I thought the Sabres didn’t get enough. What they get now will help a roster that has been doing much better than expected. Add some first rounders and whatever they work out to be. Moving Eichel let’s them move on. The deal was obviously the best out there. Buffalo is building up quite a stable of young talent. Most of the risk in this deal is on Vegas. To much time at the roulette wheel IMHO. Their doctors must have been happy with the prognosis but Eichel hasn’t even had his surgery yet. This deal could blow up in their faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making things even more dicey for Lowry was the fact he’d just come back from a two-game suspension for boarding Calgary’s Oliver Kylington at the outdoor game in Regina last weekend. The hit on Tuch appeared much less egregious, even if the resulting injury was more serious. It wasn’t from behind and Tuch’s head was not the initial point of contact, although Lowry’s arm did catch Tuch on the jaw." He didn't get a concussion. His extended time off was for his shoulder. He came back after surgery and played at his usual 50pt pace and still played his usual heavy game. I'd say he's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Eichel to be out 5 months, keeps him out until playoffs. Cap problem solved, until the offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 So vegas will slip him onto the LTIR and then bring him back on day one of the playoffs? This is kucherov 2.0. I'm hoping the league can close up this cap circumvention loop hole in the future. I would like a rule that a player has to play at least 20 regular season games (AHL or NHL) in order to be eligible for the stanley cup playoffs. I mean come on, kucherov couldn't play all year but miraculously could play game 1 and look healthier than any other player in the league... but of course he couldn't play any regular season games, he wasn't ready. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just players, picks, it seems a loss for the Sabres. But we can't undervalue the risk here. Sabres retained zero dollars and that's a big deal for the risk here. Eichel could return and if he isn't "Eichel", that's one ugly contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ey40 Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 I think Calgary did not get Eichel is because Treliving eventually found out that Eichel has never played for the Canucks, it has nothing to do with Tkachuk needs to be part of the deal. Congrats Vegas for getting Eichel, it just makes your next Playoffs exit without a Cup even more sweeter! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
