Seravalli: Vegas and Buffalo working on framework of Eichel trade

[Zirakzigil]

It was about Vegas. And they have Stone and Tuch on LITR so they can bring in Eichel and then make another move whenever he is healthy.

Vegas doesnt have the room right now either, not with the roster they are icing. They have 5.7mil of LTIR space currently.

Tampa had 3 top 3 picks to build around

And Vegas had the makings of a very good core to build around after their first year, but have repeatedly made fairly significant changes in almost very offseason since.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Tampa had 3 top 3 picks to build around

Plus Point. Plus Vasi. Plus heaps of other draft picks. Of course Vegas can't build their team like Tampa. In their 5 whole years of existence they've had 1 top 10 pick and he was a bust.

Every team in the league could beat that offer though

Ok so Krebs is in the deal then for sure but is he a sure fire prospect? Tuch and Stevenson are proven players that will help Buffalo and are young enough to be there for the long term. I just don’t see how Smith isn’t in there for salary purposes. If Buffalo is looking for a defenceman it has to be a RHS because where will Hague fit with Dahlin and Power in Buffalo?

Shea Theodore packing his locker. if this trade goes down.

 

[CupInSIX]

Stone has been out for 19 days & 7 games. He's likely to miss 24+ days and 10 games...does he qualify for LTIR and would it matter?

[Gstank]

I wonder if the Sabres will flip some of the players involved for picks and prospects

 

[Gurglesons]

Vegas doesnt have the room right now either, not with the roster they are icing. They have 5.7mil of LTIR space currently.

huh? Tuch and Patches are on LITR and as I said in the trade Riley is going out.

That have Eichel’s exact contract cap wise on LITR pretty much right now.

Shea Theodore packing his locker. if this trade goes down.

trading Theodore would be a huge mistake for Vegas.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Have they won anything yet? Have they even made a cup since?

Unlike most 3 year old franchises, so far they've failed miserably to win a Cup, or even make the Finals twice.

All they've done is make the playoffs each year, make the Finals, and another WCF.

 

[Sens Vader]

I wonder if the Sabres will flip some of the players involved for picks and prospects

This is what I'm thinking

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Another 4 months and the deal should be finalized.

 

[Puckstop40]

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

Suzuki would have been very nice. Glass is not an NHL player and very injury prone. VGK is aggressive in getting what they want though that is for sure.

they can’t unless they stay above the floor

 

[bleedblue94]

Every team in the league could beat that offer though

They may be able to but they have to want to...

 

[CanadienShark]

Please no... Unless Vegas guts themselves.

 

[Djp]

Stone has been out for 19 days & 7 games. He's likely to miss 24+ days and 10 games...does he qualify for LTIR and would it matter?

yes. He can get shifted easily just lick Eichel can be in a trade. Other than the day/ game limit there isn’t any rules on moving players and retroactively making it a ltir.

 

[varano]

They'll probably send Patches back and then a ton of picks and prospects that amount to nothing.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

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

I mean, he's only 28... if they take 5yrs to compete, he will still only be 33.

 

[varano]

huh? Tuch and Patches are on LITR and as I said in the trade Riley is going out.

That have Eichel’s exact contract cap wise on LITR pretty much right now.

And then next year?

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Could Brisson be in the package? He's off to a hot start in Michigan.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I knew this trade was happening long before through a source. I just don't know what for.

But I would imagine it looking something like this:

Vegas:
Jack Eichel

Buffalo:
1st 2022
1st 2023
Cond. 2nd 2024
Reilly Smith
Peyton Krebs
Nicolas Hague

No retention.

I think it'll be Nic Hague because Whitecloud just got extended, they have their blue-line set for three seasons with Theodore, Pietrangelo, Whitecloud, Martinez, and the bottom with cheap contracts/prospects where they could fill in those spots if they get better whereas one/two of the four get bumped down a line.

As for Reilly Smith, I see him getting flipped to the Rangers.

 

[Zirakzigil]

huh? Tuch and Patches are on LITR and as I said in the trade Riley is going out.

That have Eichel’s exact contract cap wise on LITR pretty much right now.

And they have made other call ups/signings since then. The remaining cap that they have from LTIR is under 6mil.

 

[Fjordy]

Could Brisson be in the package? He's off to a hot start in Michigan.

I think this should not be ruled out. Adams was at the Michigan game the day before yesterday and saw Brisson play, but our prospects Power and Portilllo are also playing there.
