Seravalli: Vegas and Buffalo working on framework of Eichel trade

[TKB21]

If you can substract mostly futures in an Eichel trade; and someone like Monahan... it isn't the end of the world for Calgary.

They've cushioned themselves nicely with this hot start. If we go on average of 96 points needed to get to the playoffs, they need 72 more points with the remaining 71 games. Essentially they could go .500 the rest of the way. Though, the way Sutter has them playing is going to be a hard matchup for most teams regardless.

I think of Eichel as a deadline add. Like. While most teams are going to pony up to get Phil Kessel on their roster for their cup run, Calgary will add a healthy Jack Eichel.

Did you just put Calgary and cup run in the same sentence? Bahahahahahahahahahahahahah

If the receiving team lets him get the surgery and he can be back this season, why shouldn't they do the deal?

If he's going to be out for most of the season then sane teams would wait until he's recovered, rehabbed and proven he can earn his $10 million.

There are good reasons for both the Flames and Vegas to stay the ^%$# away.

Vegas, for one, needs to start winning now and really can't wait for Eichel to get squared away and back in the game. And if they, themselves, can't get squared away they need to preserve as many futures as they can and that includes the 2022 1st.

I think you are missing the fact that he won't recover while with the Sabres.

Well you did the same thing

And he's not going to help either the Knights or the Flames either. All three parties need to find a new way to meet their needs.

Both teams were probably hoping for a New Year's trade.

Email Adams and Seravalli, you solved it

It could be all over by then - for all three.

Any sane, rational, intelligent GM would already know this.

In the long run it's not a big deal with 4 years remaining.

It's a huge annual number. I wouldn't touch it without knowing how healthy he's going to be.

Buffalo needs to go for it with Janmark, Carrier & McNabb. From one Cup contender, to another.

 

[sufferer]

Just in time for our tumble down the standings.

Whoever trades for Eichel will either end up GM of the year or remembered as Chiarelli. There's no real in-betweens. I wouldn't trade for him and take that risk, if I was a GM personally. But there's a reason I'm not a GM. Likely Eichel will be fine and if he is, whoever trades for him will end up looking like evil genius bandits.

I think that's why some people are saying that GM's that are already on the hot seat will be the ones to make a trade for Eichel.

 

[is the answer jesus]

Ahh OK. I think they should do whatever maximizes their return honestly. Regardless I think it's become apparent as this thing has unfolded that Friedman has next to no insight into this.

Adams and the Pegulas wanting more win now talent as opposed to futures in an Eichel deal after their start is hilarious

no wonder the team is perpetually awful when you have clueless people running things

Adams convinced Terry to sign Hall for 8mill 1 year when he knew he had a bottom 3 roster.

Ignoring for a second your assumption of having to convince whomever, blah blah blah.

That deal was always low risk for the Sabres.

Well I do see the Sabres being interested in players who are 22 or 23, that can play right away instead of going for picks and prospects that will help the team out in what, 4 or 5 years?

I actually think it’s a smart move to be quite honest with you.

did I say it was high risk
