Isn't Rakell an UFA after this season?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Isn't Rakell an UFA after this season?

Yes, his inclusion would only make sense if Buffalo intended to flip him. If the Ducks retained 50%, the Sabres could do the same and get his cap hit down under 1M for the year. Rakell for under 1M would draw quite a bit of interest one would think.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

This isnt a great package for Eichel. If thats what they ended up with, Id be pretty livid as a buffalo fan.

 

[Kublakhan]

This is garbage lock it up..

 

[DatDude44]

Are we realistically expecting Buffalo to get value above a 3rd overall pick+ 22 1st that likely ends up high + a top 6/9 fwd who’s skilled enough to be an effective scorer in a complimentary role(but not a line driver) + a legit top goalie prospect+ a 2nd round pick defenseman with some serious tools(Lacombe) + a late 1st rd pick(Tracey) that likely makes an impact in a 3rd line role.

for a disgruntled player demanding out, with serious neck surgery question marks and a carries a long term 10 mil AAV contract as well?
I think Buffalo takes this and runs

 

[Gliff]

Buffalo says no, then asks for Drysdale/Zegras+McTavish+2022 1st+ and then the thread dies or turns into a never ending shitshow of bitching until the thread gets locked.

Huh, it’s almost like we’ve been though this before. Weird

Really because this seems like a pretty damn good package

Throw in another 1st and it’s a fair deal. His value isn’t what it was before the injury and it’s not where it was at the start of the off season. Anyone who thinks so needs a reality check. I’m sure the rags can offer a better deal but whether they want to or not is a different story

 

[Bertuzzipunch]

Mctavish and anaheims 1st next year? Buffalo should take this and run. 2 top 5 picks seems good value for eichel imo

Not to mention Rakell who they can flip for 1st + prospect & three legit prospects

Buffalo would be dumb not to be excited for that kind of package.

I think it’s less of what the Rags want and more of what Buffalo wants. I firmly believe they won’t trade him to ny bc it’s bad for the fans to see their franchise player get traded across the state and start tearing it up. I have said this since the very beginning, I firmly believe Anaheim will be the ones w Eichel when it is all said and done. There are too many factors involving both sides that heavily indicates Anaheim will be the lucky team. Now, if people are able to see all the factors before hand is a different story….


I expect a lot of apologies in this thread when the Ducks get Eichel

 

[SI]

IMO, it's a weak package for Eichel.
I think Drysdale needs to be involved with Mactavish and #1.
I think Anaheim packages those 3 pieces that would be really difficult for the Sabres and Adams to say no.

There can be some massaging to a deal with these 3 pieces...
Maybe Sabres throw a bone and take Henrique and his 3 years off their hands.

If Eichel is traded for this package, then Anaheim is a playoff team in the west.

I guess so but I hope not. Ducks should just continue their rebuild and the sabres need to get the best package available even if it’s in the east

How is the offer weak ?

let’s dissect the offer :
Mason McTavish - recent 3OA pick. Many believe to have #1C upside.

2022 1st top 3 protected : deep draft and ducks likely pick high, if too high , Sabres get a chance at Michkov/ Bedard & Ducks get Wright / Savoie : Lambert

Rickard Rakell - 3.8 mil cap hit for 1 more year . Can trade for a 1st + prospect @ deadline

jackson Lacombe - looking like a potential top 4 dman and a high 2nd round pick. Goes to the same school as recent 1st round Sabre Ryan Johnson

Brayden Tracey - former 1st round pick who projects as a top 9 goal scorer

Lukas Dostal - looking like a future 1G

can’t see Buffalo receiving more

I disagree, throwing in drysdale would be an insane move by the ducks. The original package is a great one for buffalo. Asking for drysdale also on top is crazy and anaheim would be so dumb if they included him.

Agree . Asking for Drysdale is the equivalent of adding Dahlin to eichel in exchange for the initial package

Spoken like a true Sabre fan. Props to you for getting used to having shitty goalies every year.

• Love Mactavish - I'd be. asking for him for sure.
• '22 1st is almost a must - no worries about a protected top 3 here, but IMO Ducks will be much stronger next year without Eichel and now add Eichel I think in that division they are in the playoff conversation. It isn't a given that it will be a top 10 pick - what if I am correct and they do challenge for a spot and say the pick is now 15 or 20 OA - not bad in such a deep draft, but this weakens the package.
• I like the Rackell add and I agree he can net at least what LA got for Toffoli - solid prospect (like Madden) and a 2nd and at the most another 1st rounder.
• Jackson LaCombe nice prospect, but Sabres have Power, Samuelson, Johnson all who play LD not to mention Dahlin and Bryson (who also has looked pretty good and he is young).
• Tracey? Another area where the Sabres have a strong prospect pool of Wingers - Quinn, JPP, Rosen, Poltapov- IMO, are all much brighter and stronger prospects than Tracey.
• Sabres have 2 equivalent G prospects in Portillo and UPL, so no need for Dostal.

IMO, this is where your OP gets lost by adding in prospects like LaCombe, Tracey, and Dostal, which obscures the value of the package.

IMO, I want Drysdale and MacTavish with '22 #1 and then I would counter to take on Henrique and ease $ and cap for the next 3 years... I also may want someone like Max Jones to round out everything. Ducks keep Rackell and if they do suck, then they can trade Rackell and get a 1st back in '22.

Ducks are good, trade him to the Rangers. Ducks aren't trading 3 top 5 picks possibly even higher plus for Eichel.

 

[centipede2233]

I agree, I don’t think eichel ends up in Anaheim. I say the rangers are the likely destination.
