Proposal: Eichel Mega Thread

[LucicAndChong]

My Habs friend said he would be okay with doing something like

Kotka + Caufield + Petry + 2021 1st

for

Eichel + Colin Miller

then Danault/Armia would be moved in a trade to make this cap compliant

now dont shoot the messenger here if this is a bad proposal but all the habs ones ive seen so far have been pretty weak sauce IMO so I think this one is more fair

There is a ton of rational Wild fans in this thread and I wanna acknowledge yall this hasn't been a bad convo despite a bad apple.

Sabres fans are suffering and you're just spreading more salt on the wound

Someone on the wings board offered:

Raymond +Mantha + out first in 2021 I believe

I have a feeling they would want Seider as the main piece over Raymond.

How does this keep getting threads? There are still 0 credible rumors (actually, 0 rumors of any sort that I've seen) indicating either that Eichel wants out or that he is an any way available.

probably why it is listed as "proposal" not "Rumor"

PSA: Sabres don't want or need your 3rd overall bust thanks.

Leafs have a shiny Tavares....

 

[Djp]

More disposable spare parts get Eichel? I guess it did on nhl 21

There's a difference. My gosh, please do tell me why wild would damage their image with an agent who represents two other players on wild?

Foligno was just signed to 3 years Extension in January

Gm Guerin: I signed Foligno because I love him, & he's a part of wild gm . It's why I signed him to 3 years extension

This is common sense . It's very rarely a team sign player to extension like this to trade him within a year

Even if there. 1 percent chance Zuccarello waived for extension, or the other player this agency represents is a free agent, & wild need to resign him, they aren't ruining their relationship with this GM

Wild aren't ruining their image again especially after the Fenton mess be it with players, or Agents/ media

Yeah, none of this matters much.

I have no problem including Kaprizov in the trade. I wouldn’t want to move Boldy/Rossi then, though. Dumba is necessary for cap purposes going forward, I guess it doesn’t have to be Buffalo that takes him, but he is a very good hockey player and I think not getting enough credit from the Buffalo fan base. Assuming we move Dumba in another trade for cap purposes, we’re probably looking at Kaprizov + Both 1sts as my offer

MN cannot take on all that cap. These deals that don't take cap into consideration simply won't work in a league where the cap is flat and teams are losing money.

It would suck trading your best young player, one of the best russias produced, with elite potential, plus 2 first rounders (or two of your best prospects) to get one player who our main guy going has the skill to reach eichels point production just to dump 1 contract for a year and a rental. Doing this trade essentially kills our farm.

Kaprizov is 6 months younger than Eichel.

As good as he is looking there would still have to be good value on top of him.

 

[CatchyTune]

No, I am living in reality. No matter what you guys think, this isn't happening. Wild didn't sign foligno to 3 years extension to trade him less than a few months, or less than 6months to less than 1 year later.

It's a fact that none of you seem to care to acknowledge

if Marcus f***ing Foligno is a dealbreaker in an Eichel deal than i dont see the point in discussing.

 

[CatchyTune]

Kotkaniemi + Romanov + 1st

if you swapped Kotka with Suzuki than thats one of the better deals available

I understand that, But not 2 1sts worth of good value. Lets stop pretending he wasnt one the best players in russia the last 3 years, or unanimously the "best player outside of the NHL" last year, or a calder favorite. He has more value than hes being given.

One 1st, not two. Kaprizov + Rossi/Boldy + Rask + 1st

Your can add another player with a salary if the cap does not work

i would disagree and say more than 2 mid 1sts separate them. Eichel is a proven franchise player and Kaprizov has 14 NHL games. He is a very good centerpiece in an Eichel deal, but if i am Buffalo i am asking for more on top.

replace rask with parise retained and ill do that.

But i will not like it.

This contract of Parise doesn't look very good, and considering we already have Skinner and Okposo, damn it. Hard

the real money isnt that bad, its the cap hit. which is why id retain some.

As a Vancouver fan, if Eichel became available, I would be more than happy to trade Pettersson + Podkolzin + draft pick for him

No way. Eichel is better right now but given age and contract status I wouldn't trade Pettersson straight up for Eichel.

Canucks are 2+ years away from being contenders due to the Jimwit's incompetence, age matters a lot for us so that we waste as little of our players primes as possible.
