That's a win from me.

Got Krebs.

 

[Dubi Doo]

How does the cap work here? I thought Vegas would need more salary coming back, but Eichel on IR would give themna buffering period, no?

 

[vcv]

I know nothing about Krebs. What are some comparables? Ceiling? Floor?

 

[Chainshot]

Solid return. Hopefully Tuch can return to his pre-injury form.

Also, Krebs has been playing win for the Knights. It'll be interesting to see if the Sabres shift him back to the middle.

Can't complain about that. Wish they'd gotten a defenseman thrown in, but Krebs, Tuch, and the first are a decent haul considering the circumstances.

They might need to put Stone and/or Karlsson on LTIR to make it work with Tuch being in the deal and coming off of their LTIR.

Quinn-Krebs-JJP in Rochester?

 

[sabres4ever]

Lots laughing at the return on Twitter (yeah, I know). Time will tell.

 

[gallagt01]

Biron says Buffalo has to add salary to get above the floor? Is that true?

Great trade. Very happy with it. Very happy it's over.

I would send him down to play center in Rochester. With Cozens. Go pick up a couple of cheap vets and let the kids grow.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Finally!

 

[Gabrielor]

Quinn-Krebs-JJP in Rochester?

That's what I'd do. Krebs isn't quite NHL ready.

Alex Tuch is proving why he's one of the most underrated players in the NHL

His draft year, he fell due to an injury (cut from a skate blade to his Achilles) but is known for his tenacity and skill level. He's dogged in his pursuit of the puck, quick, and seems to elevate his game in important situations.

That was going to happen regardless.

No team trades an All-Star player (even injured) for a futures heavy return and people like it in general.

PHI-era/early-LAK Mike Richards is the comp. I use.

[Sabreality]

If people wanted Beniers in this past year, they should be thrilled with Krebs, same type of player. Krebs wouldve been top 5 in this past draft, only reason he fell was because of injury and it was a much deeper draft. I'm a big fan. Tuch fills a huge RW need. Could've been much worse...ROR 2.0...uh no.

 

[Club]

It happened! 0 yard line.

 

[Beerz]

Apparently we get a 2nd not a 3rd

 

[m0pe]

I love Krebs and Tuch and the fit. Ideally, their would have been one more piece involved but I can live with this considering.

Krebs, Cozens, Mittelstadt, Quinn, Tuch, Peterka, Olofsson, Asplund, Thompson, Skinner, Rosen, Poltapov

Time will tell if we get a 1C out of the current group but I think that is a young forward group you can really do things with.

 

[Weltschmerz]

we need a vegas tank watch thread now

 

[markpenske]

There some good reading if you go back to the 2019 draft thread. It's interesting to see the posters opinion on Krebs before the draft.

They might need to put Stone and/or Karlsson on LTIR to make it work with Tuch being in the deal and coming off of their LTIR.

It's not our problem - but they are going to be stuck when it comes to reactivating all of these guys.
