Bro??

 

[Seachd]

The only value Tkachuk would have to Buffalo is whatever they can flip him for.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

But will it happen?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

What??!!

That's gross lol

How has Sabres not accepted and ran away laughing

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

If this has been offered I have no idea why it hasn’t been accepted? Even if they flip Tkachuk that is a haul

The only value Tkachuk would have to Buffalo is whatever they can flip him for.

which should also be a relatively easy flip anyway

could always just keep him

in any case this is a great offer, buffalo should have said yes immediately

 

[Mike Jones]

Terrible for Calgary but nobody in that organization seems to understand the value of a sustainable future for the franchise.

They're winning without Eichel - keep the picks and player and take the next steps towards building a long term successful team.

 

[Kranix]

If that was the offer Brad tabled, it would be a done deal now.
Cody Eakin better be coming back though.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Calgary would get rekt

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I take that and run if I’m Buffalo.

Flip Matty for another haul and you're golden.

I assume it’s because Calgary knows Tkachuk wants out eventually.

 

[izzy]

is that referring to Zary?

 

[kanucks25]

If that was the case, wouldn't the trade have been done already lol.

If I'm Buffalo I take that and run, even if I'm flipping Tkachuk.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

What's a "former first round pick?" Isn't that just a prospect? I guess that's another way of saying "plus three prospects, one of them a former 1st round pick?" Weird way to say it.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

That would get Flames GM fired

I don't believe it for 1 second

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

If that offer was actually made Buffalo would have accepted it.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I take that and run if I’m Buffalo.

Flip Matty for another haul and your golden.

I assume it’s because Calgary knows Tkachuk wants out eventually.

This has to be it. Tkachuk wanting to go. No way is that the offer and they figure 5 years of Eichel is better than Tkachuk dipping.

Also if that was the offer Buffalo already takes it and it's announced

 

[LevelingSolo]

Sabres are not accepting this??

 

[Mobiandi]

This didn't go through because Buffalo wants the equivalent of four 1st round picks in return, not eight. I can see where they're coming from

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

is that referring to Zary?

Kylington?

 

[Mike Jones]

That would get Flames GM fired

In a functional organization yes but not with that management and ownership group.

 

[HaNotsri]

If the prospect is Zary I'm surprised Sabres didn't accept.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Does this work from a cap perspective?

 

[crazyfisherman]

Hellz nah for the flames

 

[jaric1862]

So Tkachuk, Zadorov, a 1st, and two of Zary, Coronato, Wolf and Pelletier?
