I obviously know this any jack eichel trade we do we do not win.I mean zegras/drysdale are still lottery tickets, the only way you arnt getting a lottery ticket is if you find someone to trade you a 22-26 year old star player
who is desperate? I'd keep him myself and force him to learn to be a man and a leader by surrounding with proper coaching and role players and reap the rewards of a top 10 talent in the league.
Sabres fans aren't the ones starting these proposals genius. It's other teams looking to spend 3 quarters for a dollar in return.
The 3rd overall is just another lottery ticket it means nothing could be the next galchenyuk .
You guys keep saying "injury "im telling you right now if it was serious no team would be trying to get him hes just trying to get out of buffalo
Except the team doesn't want to have to face the responsibility of the injury situation and the treatment. If Jack Eichel is still on BUF in June of 2022 I will leave HF forever.No one is desperate to trade Jack. Buffalo can afford to sit and wait for an acceptable return for at least 12 months and absolutely should not rush to trade him
It could also be the next Draisaitl. Buffalo is apparently very confident in their understanding of this years draft class so I would assume at #3 they can pick someone of at least Dubois caliberThe 3rd overall is just another lottery ticket it means nothing could be the next galchenyuk .

That’s very debatable… what does a package look like from la in your opinion that is so much better? (No byfield) I just assume you prob don’t know any ducks assets outside of zegras
Fair enough. And likewise when I hear the ANA, LA or NYR Gms say they are "intent on trading Zegras/Byfield/Laf" I will believe it. That has NOT happened yet. All that has happened is that BUF has asked for them. Period.When I see or hear the Sabres GM and/or owner state they are 'intent on trading him,' I will believe it. That has NOT happened yet, no matter how much you want it to happen. All they have done is accepted calls from other teams and talked. Period. That may change in the future, but right now it's just a lot of smoke.
Oh I agree on the last part, cap being moved is just to make it easier to take on the 10 mil.For me, to send Eichel to California, it should be (if more than one player or pick is there it’s listed by preference):
From Anaheim:
- Zegras/3rd
- Comtois
- Dostal
- Lacombe
- Perrault
- Terry
- Lundestrom
- Jones/Tracey
- other draft picks that aren’t a 1st this year
- Eriksson Ek
- cap dump like Silfverberg
Kings:
- Byfield
- Vilardi
- Turcotte/8th
- Bjornfot
- Anderson-Dolan
- Fagemo/Kaliyev
- Faber/Grans
- other picks that aren’t a 1st
- cap dumps like Iafallo
And it’s not like Silfverberg or Iafallo are cap dumps. They’re just there to come closer to balance salaries so they’re not part of the return.
I hate to burst your bubble, but it's not fans of other teams reporting that your owner and GM want to settle this soon because of the medical disagreement..... the reality is that the team is trading him and everyone knows it, and that it will likely happen before the draft.
I said “am I the chosen one?”Except the team doesn't want to have to face the responsibility of the injury situation and the treatment. If Jack Eichel is still on BUF in June of 2022 I will leave HF forever.
So let it be written. Show shall it be done.
Show me the link to Buffalo's GM or owner saying this please? Or stop spewing this sheit. TSN clickbait 'insiders' saying "I THINK..." is not truth. It's their opinion, which they are entitled to. But you, you have no freakin clue what the GM and owner are saying/thinking.

Right. All is hunky dory. Jack hearts Terry. Kim hearts Jack. Kevyn hearts everyone.
We didn't have the best prospect in the NHL by multiple scouts/analysts and Drysdale last year, also had injuries as well (top 3 most games missed as a team). Eichel is a huge get and a top 5 center when healthy.
Our defense should be
Lindholm Manson
Fleury Drydsdale
Fowler Shattenkirk
We have an elite goalie, and our young kids will be a year older (Zegras, Drysdale, Terry, Fleury (underrated trade here), Comtois, Steel, Jones, etc.) , the division also sucks ass next year. We COULD trade players like Manson or Rakell if needed for picks and use those picks for more roster players if needed. Eichel would accelerate the rebuild instantly.
Getzlaf Eichel Rakell
Comtois Zegras ?
Steel Henrique Terry
Lindholm Manson
Fleury Drysdale
Fowler Shattenkirk
Gibson
Would compete for a playoff spot easily next season pending injuries. Maybe sign someone like Hoffman or Palmieri
If Buffalo expects zegras, I assume they arnt trading him. Laf byfield zegras Seider etc won’t be moved for eichel.
Buffalo fans, serious question: Are you all comfortable with Luukkonen as your goalie of the future? Or would Dostal be of serious interest to you? I just don't know how UPL's progression has gone.
Would you do that deal if barkov was signed ?2021 3rd Overall + Comtois + Tracey/Perreault + Dostal/Lacombe/Thrun + Silfverberg/Cap Dump + Smaller picks ?
Well ya I don’t think there has been any 1 for 1 ideas in this threadMaybe by the fans lol no NHL gm will say no to 1 for 1 deal its the + they care about
eichel is damaged goods. he hates buffalo bc its a terrible city and the owners suck, as do the team. He wont get nearly as much as he is worth. The neck injury hurts his value tooStill waiting for him to say yes .
