Seravalli: Vegas and Buffalo working on framework of Eichel trade

[Reddawg]

Please hockey gods…Bettman be thy name…make it Calgary.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Please let this trade get done so we can turn a 180 and go into positive outlooks for Eichel and the Sabres.

PLEASE

I am terrible at speculation (take it for what it's worth) but it is a real thing to "not want to lose" so bad you lose due to overthinking, bad habits etc. Eichel's affect and personality he DOES show screams this to me. I actually respected the hell out of him for always being so vocal about his team getting better but he's never struck me as a guy who understands to not take everything so seriously. You're losing? Surprise. You say "big deal" and push guys harder in practice and when you're down again you talk about the work you're putting in, appeal to pride and guys will rally. Jack probably kicked trash cans and screamed "It's f***ing embarrassing!"

You make as much sense as a tweet about a potential Eichel trade

Looking at it from the standpoint of a fan of the Sabres but also of Eichel who will want to be able to root for him after he’s gone…Vegas or Calgary are fine with me. Just no Rangers or Bruins.

Why Calgary more than Vegas?

Why Calgary more than Vegas?

Calgary has better pieces and any first rounders will be more valuable than Vegas’. Plus it’s cold there and really far from Boston and we got bitter about this six months ago.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Finally! I have never been more sick of hearing a player's name.

Name? Did you seen his hair?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Karlsson + Hague as the centrepiece? That's what I'd be looking for if I was Adams. Buffalo might be on Karlssons NTC though.

 

[These Are The Days]

If the deal only includes 1 draft pick, Buffalo is just embarrassing themselves in another trade. Especially if Eichel manages to come back this season in full force so that pick turns into a very late 1st rounder.

Draft capital is draft capital baby. Take it from a Lightning fan, you can find stars in ANY round. I know it's not taking from the top but trust me, the more picks the more chances at success.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Vegas isn't in a position to give any roster players. So I don't understand this, unless of course this Vegas signalling on giving up this year. Something tells me Buffalo fans won't like the return.

There's absolutely no way Vegas can stay cap compliant adding Eichel without sending major salary back to Buffalo. There most certainly is a roster player or two heading to Buffalo if Eichel is going to Vegas. Dadonov, maybe?

Plus his good pal hanifin plays for us

Buffalo…. Just plz do this for us. We’ve had nothing for a long time and don’t give his ass to Vegas who have had everything.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Calgary's still in this.

This is the Sabres trying to get teams to further bid against each other to better their return.

Karlsson is about 5 years past the age of players that fit their timeline

YYC! YYC! YYC!!!!

I told you I'm no good at this. Hit like and subscribe my guy!

VGK derps for biggest, shiniest toy it can get yet again. SMH. They should have just developed the centers they drafted instead of losing additional resources due to hastiness

(1) Their window is open now. Their drafted centers aren't any good yet.
(2) Their drafted centers possess a small fraction of Eichel's talent. Getting Eichel and getting him healthy is a much larger boost to the team than hoping Krebs or Brisson pans out, even if it actually happens.

Wouldn’t Jack go straight to LTIR though?

Hockey’s version of a tantric climax coming soon

I would love to see the Habs sweep in as a final hour winner and get Jack.

Probably Smith, Hague, a 1st and a prospect and then Buff swaps Smith for a pick at the deadline.

Hes on regular IR right now.
The team acquiring him needs to be compliant first, and then popping him on the LTIR for surgery.

You're right on all points. But would they rather have Suzuki than Patches? What if Glass pans out? Point is if Buffalo gets a haul on this and VGK fell short, they traded potentially winning pieces for nothing over and over again and pissed off the locker room how many times.

Between you and me I don't see it working out for VGK. Every year they make a move and the next year they start underperforming and have to make a move again. Feels like lipstick on a pig

someone who knows for sure can confirm but I think you have to be under the cap before you can put him on long term ir.
