Like the deal for the situation

welcome back nerds.

Sabres lose the trade giving up Eichel (unless he never comes back 100%). But its as close as many of us expected

 

[fcpremix88]

Finally.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

So. 2nd liner, B+ rookie, low 1st and low 2nd.

This for a top-7 centre (when healthy) and Buffalo even throws in a 3rd, which will be in the same area as Vegas' 2nd.

Yeah. Sounds like a typical Sabres trade.

Confirmed Trade: - [BUF/VGK] Jack Eichel, c.'23 3rd for Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs, c.'22 1st (Top10 protected), c.'23 2nd

I don't think youre being all that fair.. he had a hat trick in a preseason game since then.

 

[The Marquis]

It's Vegas, the house always wins.

However, I don't think this is a bad deal for Buffalo at all. They got some good pieces and are overperforming so far this season without Eichel, so it's almost a no loss deal. They (Sabres) weren't getting him his desired surgery, thus he was never playing for Buffalo again... but cost them 10m to do nothing... So the real trade is a 3rd round pick for a 1st, 2nd, Krebs and Tuch.

No matter how this trade shakes out, we'll be talking about it for a really long time.

 

[T_Cage]

Less than Buff thought they would get, but more than I would have paid tbh

But if Calgary was in fact in on it, Vegas didn’t have a choice

 

[TheBeard]

More than most, we’ll have to wait a long time before we know who wins this deal.

Dunno, sounds like that's making a real stretch and excuses for Buffalo here. They could have and should have gotten more IMO.

 

[bsu]

If Tuch stays healthy and Krebs develops into a really good 2nd line center then it's okay. Tuch staying healthy and Krebs developing into a good 2nd line center (when Vegas was injured and needing a center still playing him at wing) is concerning though. I like the deal for Vegas personally but Buffalo did decent knowing the situation I guess.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

I like the deal for Buffalo. Tuch is a very good young forward, on a good deal contract.

It's an awful deal for Buffalo because that pick is top 10 protected, which means that it's possible that if Vegas continues to struggle there is a possibility, albeit a remote possibility that Vegas has Jack Eichel and Shane Wright down the middle next year.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Silver lining is the Sabres shooting themselves in the foot. Again.

Always a bad sign when a GM falls in love with a certain prospect.

 

[tucker3434]

I’m sure it’s been asked but there are 51 pages. Do we know the timeline on Eichel’s return?

Look at it this way. Eichel was never going to pass another physical playing for Buffalo.

He should have been in the AHL all year.

 

[The Marquis]

4-5 months, but could be more.

 

[Cynick]

Since 2017, has any other team had more major trades and signings that Vegas? They've been so incredibly active, it's astonishing.

 

[96]

Lets go. Been waiting for Vegas to get a star player so I can buy their sexy jersey, think Eichs will be the one.

 

[BFLO]

Surprised by the number of people poo-pooing on Buffalo.

Buffalo's original ask was 4x first or equivalent, with no retention on Eich or cap dumps. And they wanted one of the pieces to be a good center prospect.

Buffalo received 3x firsts and a 2nd, no retention and no cap dumps, a good center prospect.

All they gave up was an extra 3rd rounder.

It's a lot better than say... any of the thousands of offers from Rangers fans. of 2 B prospects and some conditional 7th rounders + cap dumps.

I've got a feeling there's going to be 30 GMs regretting that they didn't beat this offer. NHL never learns and continues to drastically undervalue Sabres players on the trade market. Except for Flyers with Risto. LOL

[Sergei Shirokov]

It was never going to be enough, but Krebs could be a really good piece

They are the LA Rams of the NHL. Let's see if it works out for both.
