Speculation: Another year of this Bluc **** (The 2024-25 season thread)

You're not getting Eichel for what they gave up for PLD. It would've cost Byfield, a top dman prospect and or Vilardi plus picks. Everyone seems to forget the massive risk it was to trade for him because of his neck. It did work out in the end, but it could've easily blown up in Vegas's face.

And you seem to forget that Eichel with a broken neck is superior to Dubois every day of the week. One of them gets you an extra $10M cap space and doesn’t actively harm you on the ice.

Lets compare legacy moves us fwd to a team like TB. They basically told Stamkos to hit the bricks - they realized he would hold them back from winning in the future. Rumors were he was offered 3m aav and he would settle for 4.5m but they didnt budge. He was like no thanks and signed with Nash for 60m over 4 yrs. To me that is TB wanting to move on from the past since that was quite the lowball offer. Thats the kind of thinking that would never occur to team legacy.
