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

[5 Minute Major]

Poor Alex tuch. From Las Vegas to.... Buffalo

Alex Tuch's family is from the Central/Southern Tier of New York. His grandmother and my wife are friends. Believe me he is excited.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Eichel on IR for a while now so VGK doesnt have to worry about that for a bit

 

[Habs10Habs]

Omg, is it really over?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

VGK owners are gonna make a crap load of money marketing Eichel... my god

 

[Dr Pepper]

Tuch, Krebs, Whitecloud and a 2022 1st?

Solid return, if that's the deal Buffalo got.

 

[BKarchitect]

Yaaaa they aren't involved forsure.

Yeah, that’s a pretty safe assumption. Hell I wouldn’t trade a healthy Theo for a damaged good Eichel straight up.

Buffalo still did really well with the reported return though.

 

[Random schmoe]

Yaaaa they aren't involved forsure.

Yeah, sorry, didn't mean to imply that they were or that I believed that value would be equivalent. Meant to just be a sorta factual statement about the dollar in dollar out aspect.

 

[cyris]

If it’s a defenceman like seravelli thinks the only 2 who fit the bill are Martinez and Theodore

Wasn’t Vegas pretty close to capped out with a healthy roster? It might have to be one of them an someone else. Like Smith or maybe Patchorety(so?)

Honestly thought Vegas would give another first. But that’s not a bad deal IMO.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

This is unreal for VGK

Wow

Not surprising though that VGK didn't have to give up too much.

 

[SI90]

If Eichle comes back 100% my god that’s a scary Vegas team.

His favorite team as a kid. He’s fine.

They have to move the salary out before he comes back tho. And it’s a lot of salary

If thats it, Im pissed that the Flames didnt beat it.

 

[SI90]

He's from the area going to a team with a brighter future than vegas

He is. My son played with him in Syracuse.

VGK is the team I always root for. Glad Eichel went to them.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Our long national nightmare is over

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

How long is a “while” ?

It's reported its 3 months recovery after surgery

 

[keppel146]

Okay okay

 

[CapSpace]

Shit return for Buffalo.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Finally! Decent haul for Buffalo. I hope Krebs turns into a stud.

 

[cyris]

Eichel could potentially be back for the Olympics if everything goes right now.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

If thats it, Im pissed that the Flames didnt beat it.

Ya that's not a very big return IMO

 

[Paper]

Lmao at the 2023 3rd round pick swaps if it ends up being true. That’s just GM’s betting with each other who will be better.
