That's it?! Yeah, I think I'll stick with Hoven, the Kings' insider stating that the Kings are out on the Eichel trade back in June.
Proposal: Jack Eichel to Anaheim 4 Fair Value
- Thread starter sasha barkov
- Start date
I will believe in Santa Claus before I will believe Eklund’s news.
Any team trading for home needs to make sure what they are getting. Right now it’s 50/50 that he will be in the league in 4 years. And 70/30 that his best hockey is in the rear view.
Are there numbers on players with this injury in the NHL (and if so why can’t I find any information on their careers). After listening to the dr’s that have been interviewed, and reading up on this the guy is a land mine. Best case scenario for Buffalo is that they and he find a shared path and he re-finds his love for the game and his health, then is moved in a couple years.
I can't find any numbers on other players who've had this injury but based on absolutely nothing I've come up with: "50/50 that he'll be in the league in 4 years and 70/30 his best hockey is in the rearview.".
Best to just say his health and future is uncertain. When you start making proclamations like this you come off looking like an absolute fool.
All I see is a link to satire, where is the rumor at ?
I clicked.
Don't see how LA makes sense cap wise anymore but still kinda fun to speculate who he is talking about. I think the player who played games last year is JAD. Still makes no sense giving cap.

closest injury I can think of was Roberts with the Flames.

The cost of credibility here is basically paying for a URL. That's what separates Eklund from the rest of the posters here.

Zegras isn't happening, not worth continuing to bring up.

Zegras would definitely be part of the package for Eichal if the deal was ever made. Fans can say otherwise, but reality for this trade to happen, is that the starting conversation would be Zegras.
That is not what he said at all. Completely stupid to think there could be a trade with the Ducks that involved Zegras and that does not mean he is better right now.

They already have...probably several times.

Puck Off!
Curious, if Zegras would definitely be part of a package with the Ducks, then who are you suggesting is available from other teams that are of Zegras' caliber?

Ducks are good, trade him to the Rangers. Ducks aren't trading 3 top 5 picks possibly even higher plus for Eichel.
Nah you can have him.
He's not worth the price of admission.

You also got to factor in he still hasn't done his surgery, how many games will he miss due to it? And adding Eichel doesn't suddenly turn Anaheim into a contender, even if their division is weak.

At this stage there's no rush for the Ducks to add him as he's not going to be ready anyway. May as well let Buffalo pay him while the price comes down.
At this point with a surgery likely on the horizon, you are getting Eichel for 4 years and paying him for 5. No bueno.
