And our bottom pairing LD problem remains unsolved...

Isn't this a little weird with:

Theodore
McNabb
Martinez
and
Hague on the team already?

Trade prep?

Trade going downnn

Theodore going back for Eichel would be something interesting to think about after this and the whitecloud deal

 

[wonton15]

Hutton for Eichel confirmed

 

[CupInSIX]

Maybe Martinez is hurt again. Vegas now has a lot of LTIR for adding skaters.

Hague in a package for Eichel

Don't be mean to Theo.. what did he do to you to suggest this??!

Saw it on twitter and it does make some sense. Not sure any of the other D on Vegas would interest Buffalo, and this is a move for a D.

Could also be indicative of Hauge going instead......

A D could be going in an Eichel deal maybe?

Sabres have Dahlin and Power for a long time... unsure why they would want Theo as a main piece... I'd rather a forward as a main piece with a guy like Hague involved if I were Sabres

Hes hypothetically drunk... Theo won't be traded

Theodore is about the calibre of d-man you'd need to get back in an Eichel trade, but I'd question his age. He's already 26, and while that's still young, are they really going to be competing for a cup within the next 6~ seasons? Especially with Eichel on the way out. Doesn't make sense for either team.

Hague would make a lot more sense, but he's also unproven compared to Theodore.

So basically if VGK ships out Theodore in a deal for Eichel, VGK will be Theo-less this season, add in a awful Ben Hutton and also Jack Eichel who won't play this season most likely?

VGK tanking this year?

I don't buy it at all

All that matters for Vegas is the playoffs. Eichel will be back for the playoffs, so being without Eichel for the regular season isn't an issue for the Knights.

Alec Martinez back to LA for Olli Maatta.

 

[elitepete]

Hague+Marchessault+2 firsts for Eichel?

Then Buffalo flips marchessault for a pick(s)

Hutton is decent when deployed as a bottom pairing dman btw.

Marchie has an NTC that probably would block Buffalo. Smith is the only big money forward without trade protection.
