Seravalli: Vegas and Buffalo working on framework of Eichel trade

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Quality for quality . Krebs and Theo as main piece for Eichel . + 2 other pieces that mat be Smith mat be Tuch mat be a first or a conditional first. The main pieces is Krebs and Theo nothing less . I Think vegas Will lose this trade big time

I just feel your expectations are astronomically high on a return. I know fans can hope and pray a team highly overpays, but in this case it won't happen.

But time will tell!

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

if you trade for him you should expect him being ok after surgery.

Forsure that would be VGKs hope. But its not guarenteed... and you know that's exactly what other teams arguments are to drop his trade value... and it's a legitimate concern.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

For the record I hope Vegas makes a terrible trade

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Calgary are rolling right now. You don't interrupt that by trading for someone with a broken neck.

Vegas I can see move in, because they're desperate for attention. Buffalo should ask for Shea Theodore and run all the way to the bank.

Would moving Monahan as the main core NHLer really interupt that though? If anything Calgary would be buying in on their current success and making themselves a legitimate contender.

 

[Sabresbyswords104]

That’s fine, teams don’t need eichel specially when he’s injured…. They can just wait till his ntc kicks In. The reason teams are interested now is the potential discounted price…. If that’s not there teams will let Buffalo sit on it

if Vegas does tuch 1st krebs and Theodore …. Vegas is dumb and going to ruin any chance at a cup

If you dont need a 40 + goal and 50+ assist center dont trade for him. Big difference having Eichel
Then krebs . Eichel can do stuff like 4 other centers In this league can do skill Wise

 

[Saltcreek]

I cannot see how Vegas comes out ahead in this. Outside Eichel's injury he has also shown to have major attitude problems over the last couple of years.

 

[Sabresbyswords104]

Look at O reilly how good he is in blues and Eichel is much better. Sabres should not trade him for that shit They did. It was because of bad GM. But look at this . One GM always do a bad trade . One Of vegas GM or sabres gm Will make a bad trade . I think it Will be vegas as that gm have a history Making bad trades .

Why would the Sabres trade for Monahan? He isn't that good.

 

[CupInSIX]

Is there any reason why Eichel hasn't been placed on LTIR? Do they have to wait for 10 games missed or would he have to go back to Buffalo and take another physical?

if you trade for him you should expect him being ok after surgery.

According to LeBrun on Thursday, it appears Adams is willing to work with teams more to be able to facilitate a trade that works for both sides.
"Teams that have circled back to Kevyn Adams, and Kevyn Adams has circled back to teams; what has happened in these discussions, as I'm told, is that teams are saying, 'We have to have a conditional component to any potential trade, because we don't know what Jack Eichel is going to be like when he comes back. We don't know when exactly he'll be back,' although that surgery suggests four months. So what the Sabres have said is, 'Yes. We're going to have a conditional part to that trade.' That's a big deal. That's a big development, because now teams can feel a little more safely about entering the next phase in trade talks.

It doesn’t help matters when Buffalo is off to a 5-1-1 start without eichel….
Kinda like when the islanders lost taveras, they got better…

 

[is the answer jesus]

I agree 100%. I wouldn't trade them 1 for 1 right now either. Theos crazy low Cap hit and Eichels huge health issues make it awful

Seems like there is alot of downplaying as to just how serious Eichels injury situation is

If anything I think the opposite is occuring. Eichel is young, is in fantastic shape, has access to the very best medical care and needs a surgery with a very high success rate. This doom and gloom scenario people keep portraying is the least likely outcome. Now with that said there is some risk for the acquiring team and as you said earlier that will likely result in a portion of the deal revolving around conditional picks.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

If you dont need a 40 + goal and 50+ assist center dont trade for him. Big difference having Eichel
Then krebs . Eichel can do stuff like 4 other centers In this league can do skill Wise

There is more to a trade than needing a ppg center, roster depth, cap etc are all very important parts of building a roster

 

[Sabresbyswords104]

Yes. Thats why sabres need this return.

looking forward having Theo Dahlin power joki as top 4

 

[Saltcreek]

It should be. If not keep Eichel. Let him have his surgery. Thats the point go get something good back . Sabres should take None less then theo and Krebs . Maybe Tuch and the first can be changed to something else . But The and Krebs should be the main piece. If not wanna to include a good D for a first C its aint happening . Give to take . Sabres Will not wait 1.5 years to finally just settle with players that havent prove anything. Take Krebs he have 1 point in NHL in like 12 game. No goals . Why should sabres just settle with him ? He could end being nothing. They then need to have Theo as the main piece having a Young c in Krebs . Then for cap purpose Tuch as he fits the age in sabres. The first I dont really care about But these other 3 pieces is a must . If not there no point waiting this long to only get Smith Krebs first or something . Thats a shit return . Late first Smith dosent fit the age and Krebs not proven any . Then Eichel put Ups 40+ goals and 50 + assist . Sabres look like idiots again .

You are not going to get anything close to fair market value for Eichel right now unless the GM making the trade is an complete idiot. The risk is just too high and Eichel will take time to recover.

Report: Sabres willing to include conditional picks in any Jack Eichel trade

Sabres are too close to the cap floor to put Jack on ltir.

 

[The Blunder Years]

I feel like buffalo gunna lose this trade big.

At this point the future looks pretty bright even without including Eichel or his return. If we can add some combination of 1-2 exciting prospects, a roster player or two, and some 1sts to our team I am happy.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Eichel Will be 100 % okey after the surgery . So nothing worry about. Then you cant get Eichel if not trading Theo .

Some fellow Sabres fans say that his $50m contract will not be covered by insurance if he has ADR and that particular surgery is experimental with a risk of paralysis that makes it a no-can-do for the team.

 

[Sabresbyswords104]

Sabres have a good future of They can get Tuch Theo cond pick Krebs . Then 4 first rounders plus Rosen .

Asplund Thompson Olofsson
Quinn Cozens Peterka
Krebs Mittlestadt Tuch
Skinner Girgensons Okoposo
Bjork Routs

Dahlin Joki
Power Theo
Bryson Samuelsson

Why don't they just take the Eriksson contract? I'm sure Arizona would love to be rid of it.

Or Subban.

 

[Saltcreek]

You are dreaming

Theo, Tuch, Krebs won't even be close to the return so no need to write out the roster looking like that.

Theo and Krebs Will be atleast so maybe wait for adding in Tuch there

 

[truthbluth]

Why don't they just take the Eriksson contract? I'm sure Arizona would love to be rid of it.

Or Subban.

I think they more likely want one that won’t cost a roster spot or actual dollars, like Andrew Shaw.
And those details might be the holdup.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Dosent matter he Signed a contract with Buffalo . He playes for Buffalo dosent matter what he says or wants. Sabres can tell him to get the surgery he wants then expect to play out his contract with the sabres and suck it up .

If it was that simple, they would have already done that.

If Eichel could bring back that type of return, he would have been traded already.
