Debrusk, Moore, Vaakanainen, 2021 1st for Ekholm and Arvidsson
For Eichel I would take Skinner also if that would soften the return. Think about Jeff Skinner. He scored 40 playing on a line with Eichel. Freddy Kreuger comes along and for whatever reason takes the 40 goal scorer off of Eichel’s line. Seems strange to me.
That being said I take Skinner at 6.5 million per so Buffalo would have to retain. You get both and basically have a new 2nd line.
Krejci (for salary purposes)
Debrusk
Studnicka
Vaakanainen
Senyshyn

Not sure what it would take and I might be way off but the above mentioned must be a decent package.

Yikes. Is the where we are now? Are we so desperate that we need to acquire arguably the worst contract in the NHL?For Eichel I would take Skinner also if that would soften the return.

I'd do debrusk + vaak for Ekholm
Ya know it does seem like it......but debrusk worries me!I feel that’s just way too much for Ekholm.
I added a bit to my post. I get he’s not playing well but unless he’s damaged goods from the Kadri incident, I fail to see him not to returning to form and growing a bit more consistent. Becoming a legit top 6 LWer.Ya know it does seem like it......but debrusk worries me!
Yea, definitely don't trade him for Jimmy HayesI just want to mention
Reilly Smith
a players name
Reilly Smith
that played awful for a season, had good previous years, was young,
Reilly Smith
and was moved way too early for a scrub. He has turned into a legit winger now.
Reilly Smith
His name is Reilly Smith.

So how much time do you give him to turn things around then? Legit question.I added a bit to my post. I get he’s not playing well but unless he’s damaged goods from the Kadri incident, I fail to see him not to returning to form and growing a bit more consistent. Becoming a legit top 6 LWer.

I get the whole Reilly Smith concern, but again, how much time do you give DeBrusk before you're ready to move on?
How many then? The rest of the season?More than 14 games.

IMO Smith was a different situation than JDB. He was always more engaged but Clode never seemed to appreciate him. I don't remember too much other then that but at the time it was apparent that Julien didn't trust him.I just want to mention

I really like Zibanejad. Thing is, he will turn 28 in a few months and is a UFA after this season. If he's looking for a long-term deal, is he looking to be paid as a 70pt center? That's going to be a tough contract to gauge.
More than 14 games.
The problem is, it's been more than 14 games. This with him dates back to last season and pretty early on in that season.
I am getting whiffs of Ryan Spooner from JDB at this point. Let's package him plus a draft pick and get someone that at least comes to play every shift.
The thing lately with Debrusk seems to be his give a $hit factor just doesn't seem to be there, because when he skates and moves his feet with effort and hustle he can be productive even if he's not on the score sheet, but lately it hasn't been there. Im sure its a lack of confidence because he has the ability. So if Sweeney were to deal him at this point it better be for more than a bag of pucks or a Jimmy Hayes.

I like Eichel, he’s a hell of a player, but he isn’t worth his cap number yet let alone having to acquire the former figure skater with a concussion history.
But hey don’t let me stop you, I’m sure that trade gets process real swell in Be a GM
Anyone know if Eichel's closer to the Hayes / Vessey clan or the Boston locals that the Bruins?jack eichel isnt worth his cap number? Jack eichel is definitely worth his cap number, and would be an incredible krejci replacement for the years to come. He is a superstar in a shit sandwich situation.
