I guess they’ve got lots of cap space, but don’t like this one for Buffalo his best days are behind him

 

[Djp]

Sigh.....Santa bring coal. Hopefully this is a 4C role.

 

[CupInSIX]

That's a bit high for a bottom 6 C that struggled to find offense last year.
Glad to see Cody get a good deal and hopefully he has a nice bounce back season.

 

[theslatcher]

Not sure how he was in Winnipeg, but hopefully for the Sabres he won't play like he did in his last season for Vegas.

mehtastic!

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Good on him getting a contract like this.. I was curious what would happen for him

 

[Cor]

That will make Eichel happy......

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

What are you doing Kevyn?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Buffalo would have been much better off just giving Larsson that contract, let alone half as much

they need centers

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Bahah thank you Buffalo, this is one we didn't want returning.

 

[Kranix]

Eichel is very happy with all of these moves.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

imagine walking away from Larsson, and paying Eakin more. Yikes.

I’m assuming he played like 6 games for the Jets because I do not remember this at all.

If this is for 4C, I’m fine with it. If it’s for 3C, oof.

Eakin is a 4c at this point. Why not just bring back Larsson in that case? He’s cheaper and very good at his role.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Eichel replacement ?

Efficiency. Authenticity. RookieGMicy.

 

[AKAChip]

Holy hell that is bad. Eakin is an AHL player.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

He was very underwhelming as a 2C in Winnipeg.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Eichel replacement ?

Yes. Now give us Brodzinski and the two Anthony’s you’ve signed and he’s yours. We’ll even petition the NHL to retain 75%, but 50% is guaranteed.

That will make Eichel happy......

Eichel is very happy with all of these moves.

It's Eichel who makes the decisions in Buffalo. Both ownership, GM and head coach decisions.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'm surprised people don't like this it's not perfect, he's not a #2 center but he can be a #3 and they didn't have that either.

this won't make them anywhere near a playoff team but they are better at center today than they were yesterday

Hmm...Sounds like something a competent organization might do. Not for us, thanks

I question some of the moves Eichel is making here.
