Seravalli: Vegas and Buffalo working on framework of Eichel trade

[Lindberg Cheese]

5 pizzas, not 4 pizzas

 

[Mattilaus]

Would you throw away $50 Million?

But he won't be throwing away money. The surgery he has so much confidence in will be a success and he will heal up and be playing again in 2-3 months right? How is he throwing any money away? Even if buffalo cancels his contract he will be resigned for huge money again instantly with his new healthy neck right?

 

[NYblades]

Is it done yet?

A trade is imminent.

 

[TehDoak]

A trade is imminent.

 

[5 Minute Major]

How's the framework coming along?

 

[tellermine]

Its done.






Or not.

 

[Seras]

If I really believe it's what I need, then I would probably take the risk.

No, you wouldn't.

The majority of people here would move halfway across their country for another 50k per year, but these same people would leave 50mil on the table because it's moral, just stop.

There's risk with neck surgery period. Stop acting like a morally superior jilted lover.

If Krebs is the best piece coming back then Buffalo should just relegate themselves to the AHL

What's the problem with Krebs? He's a good prospect.

I cheer for a west div team you guys have already given away a #1C for scraps. Krebs is solid but Eichel is a top 10 player in the league.

 

[Zman5778]

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

a good prospect should not be the best thing coming back for an elite nhl forward.

 

[Fjordy]

Yes, Eichel is an elite 1C, but he hasn't played hockey for eight months and he wants to do an experimental operation (for NHL), maybe he will never be the same. This is a risk.

 

[Chiarelli]

Or a 24 year old peak athlete is fine in 4 months and Buffalo ends up with an average prospect, a late first round pick, and a roster player that gets ditched at the deadline

 

[Fjordy]

Well, probably it would not only be Krebs, a couple of good things. We're not talking about that Jack Eichel who was on fire in the 18-20 seasons.

You’ve seen their lineup, right? They already have.

 

[Fjordy]

I do not consider Krebs to be an average prospect, and of course I would like to get a couple more good things in the deal.

 

[GuerinUp]

gonna be so funny when eichel goes to a different team. the longer this goes on, the more apparent it is that these "insiders" are just blowing smoke trying to will things into existence

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

All VGK players are terrified to answer their phones or check online to see If they are the ones moving from Vegas to Buffalo lol

Calgary VP Don Maloney was at the Sabres games in Ana and LA. Tells me Flames are very much in this and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up there in a bigger deal then just Eichel leaving Buffalo.

 

[jaric1862]

So apparently Eichel's surgery takes three months to recover from, so Vegas would need to have the cap room to have him back in the lineup. This "deal" makes even less sense now.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Can any (possibly) older folks here remember a trade that was "in the works" for this long, or longer?
