Confirmed Trade: [BUF/VGK] Jack Eichel, c.'23 3rd for Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs, c.'22 1st (Top10 protected), c.'23 2nd

[Wintersun]

I think Buffalo got 2 pieces for their second line that could play there for a long time + a first round pick for a guy that is injured and did not want to play there, with doubtful attitude.

I don't think Buffalo will be worse off because of this, and I'm not convinced Eichel will actually make Vegas better than Tuch, despite him being way more talented.

Someone needs to post the Cozens and Krebs pic from the WJC. It was always about Krebs if Zegras was off the table.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

It is if Vegas has a top 10 pick in 22.

Its top 10 protected.

 

[Team Cozens]

And tuch and comtois had same point totals last year for the record

Comtois and Tuch have the same point total this year and Tuch hasn’t even played yet.

 

[Djp]

Buffalo just hosed Vegas. Guess I should eat crow... I thought there was no way Vegas would part with Krebs.

Buffalo is going to be a powerhouse.... very soon.

Peterka, Quinn, Dahlin, Krebs, Power, Cozens...

Wow!

Besides their 1st and 2nds inn22 and 23 they have

Florida 2022 1st, Vegas 2022 1st both picks top 10 protected and move to23.
Philadelphia 2022 2nd
Vegas 2023 2nd

This forum could have come up with this trade. Amazing how it took 6 months to come up with the most obvious return ever.

I'd assume Buffalo was demanding ALOT more though 6 months ago

 

[JT Kreider]

Where is this? Byram/Dach were captains last WjC.

 

[bacon25]

Let's hope Krebs works out.

The same posters going from “I wouldn’t give up our 4th best prospect for Eichel” to “OMG Sabres fleeced” is art. Thank you.

 

[Caps8112]

good trade for both teams. as long as eichel returns to what he was everyone wins. EVERYONE won lol. there was no fleecing of anyone no matter how bad HF requires a trade loser of epic proportions

I don't think that's why it took 6 months.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Comtois and Tuch have the same point total this year and Tuch hasn’t even played yet.

Comtois has same point total as krebs … wanna talk about it

 

[Desert Panther]

So what other salary are they planning to move or are they going to keep Pacioretty on LTIR with Eichel until the playoffs and be like TB did last year at 17MM over the cap?

 

[Dellstrom]

Seems like a pretty good trade for both sides considering the uncertainty.

 

[The Burdened]

they traded a $100 bill for a $50, 2 $20s and a $10

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

They have to hope Power signs with them.

why wouldn't he??

Krebs would be the Rangers 4th best prospect/young player.

 

[le_sean]

A franchise centre for a 2nd line winger and an undersized prospect centre. What a world.

 

[Team Cozens]

The 1st rounder is top-10 protected? Oooof

Do you really think Vegas is falling to the bottom 10 in that division. Come on. Be real.

 

[Fatass]

Holy shit it finally happened. Sorry if this has been mentioned, is there any news relating Eichel's surgery, will VGK provide him with the one he wants?

JACK gets ADR this week apparently. 12-16 week full recovery

 

[InfinityIggy]

Says a Flames fan. Lol. I understand your disappointment. Always a bridesmaid.

Everything I’ve been saying about the Sabres has been spot on for the last seven years. This trade will ensure the Sabres have another decade of darkness. Absolutely disastrous outcome.

If you think Krebs is a comparable player to Zegras, for example, you’re going to be extremely disappointed.

 

[stokes84]

Krebs would be the Rangers 4th best prospect/young player.

Lol

 

[SI90]

why wouldn't he??

No reason. Just saying he’s not signed yet and for me that’s always scary with the college prospects. Chances are he will but you never know

 

[Team Cozens]

Krebs would be the Rangers 4th best prospect/young player.

Lol. Never change Ranger fans.

 

[Chainshot]

Krebs would be the Rangers 4th best prospect/young player.

That high?
