What happened to dollar needing to match dollar for this trade to work??

 

[GOALOFSSON]

It's over

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

Thank God he didn’t got to the Rangers…

 

[waitin425]

Boom!

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

8-10 weeks is the theoretical return time for the surgery he wants (and presumably will get with the trade). So potentially mid January to early February. I assume there’s also be some extra time since he hasn’t played for over a year and thus would need to get back up to speed.

 

[The don godfather]

Krebs alone for eichel I would have done. Eichel all hype and is a locker room problem. Anything on top icing for sabres.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

IT'S FINALLY OVER!

 

[Habs10Habs]

Happy for Buffalo fans that this is finally over.

 

[Melkor]

Basically Eichel for Tuch, some prospect and a 1st. Holy shit, Sabres got fleeced.

Like I expected them to get fleeced anyways, it's just common for their trades but they completely botched that whole injury situation and got 50 cents on a dollar in the end.

Good luck to Jack, he deserves to have his injury treated the way he wants and return to his usual form

 

[BloFan4Life]

It’s hilarious to think they thought they were getting Tkachuk and a 1st and they end up with this package.

This package isn’t as bad as it could have been but it’s less than they wanted I’m sure

Who thought that? That was made up to get Vegas to up the offer.

I can’t believe someone wasn’t willing to beat this offer.

 

[cyris]

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.

They are probably conditioned picks which will change based on how Eichel recovers from surgery

 

[Guttersniped]

This is the deal

The 3rd rounder was obviously the key piece in the deal.

 

[Conbon]

Vegas got another shiny thing wonder who they cast off unceremoniously this offseason. Probably Smith but idk if thats enough

 

[Tob]

you have to put it into context. Eichle was 100% being traded. Eichles future health is unknown. Those 2 things bring his value down.

it’s a shame for Eichle that after all this Buffalo blocked him from getting the treatment he wanted and he never even played for them again anyway.

Eichle could have been way on his road to recovery and rehab right now.

Ya I get all that. I'm half being facetious toward the off season asks from some posters that mentioned Zegras+1st++ and Kakko+Lafreniere+ and Fox+

 

[Bevans]

How did Buffalo not get Hague into this deal?

 

[Chaels Arms]

Seems a little bit less than the five first round picks, two top six forwards and one top pair D Sabres fans have been telling me he would return.

I mean, “some prospect” is also a first rounder.

When it's for precious Vegas everything is fine. When it's for Montreal, Gary throws his poop on the wall.

I remember the days of Zegras, 3rd overall and Comtois.

Thank you for the info. Time will tell but it’s not impossible.

 

[Gabrielor]

Vegas always made the most sense, and Krebs always was the price.

Glad it's done. Great for Buffalo. Great for Vegas. Great for Eichel.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I think Kevin Weekes is waking up in tears too

... some prospect? My guy I don't think you read the tweets correctly, since you are referring to Krebs as "some prospect".
