Player Discussion Jack Eichel Part 6 -- Does he get traded?

[Gabrielor]

I think I do that deal.

On reflection...why Smith? That sounds more like what Vegas wants us to take, than what Buffalo wants....

 

[Fjordy]

Hague is a good NHLer already. Dahlin is the only guy on that list who can say the same

The problem is that there is not enough room for everyone, although if Dahlin plays RDs it will immediately solve both problems.

Bruins fan here looks light maybe add nolan Patrick into it.?

Maybe one secondary piece light. Patrick would make sense. Thompson would make sense.

But I think that Tweet is pretty accurate for what the trade is going to wind up being.

Top-tier prospect, young NHL player, useful NHL player with cap we can flip @50% and a 1st.

Agreed, this has to be coming from Vegas trying to lower the price.

Especially considering there really haven’t been any leaks from our front office.

I mean…the pessimist in me says because Tuch has a long term deal and Pegula can stop paying Smith by the deadline.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Where did I say they were or were not?

Sorry, I misread, thought you said “then don’t trade him.”

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

Krebs is a must.
Rossi or Boldy is a must.
I'm starting to think its time to mend fences and keep Jack

The team should've done that months ago. It's only gotten worse since then.

 

[Royal Thunder]

I feel like Krebs is the best prospect we are gonna be able to get from anyone. Absolutely loved him in his draft year, him plus a 1st and a couple players doesn’t seem totally terrible

I think the far more likely (and reasonable) thing is that Krebs AND Tuch is a non-starter for VGK. It's likely one or the other. And given the choice? Krebs all day.

oh yeah Krebs all the way.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

It’s kind of wild seeing the reactions to that tweet by our fans + fans around the league

On this board we like it but in other spots it’s shit. Other teams fans think Vegas should take this and run.

Krebs only fell in his draft because of an injury. He certainly would have went top 10 without the Achilles injury.

That whole draft class was so deep. I know it was due his injury but it's criminal that Vegas could get him in the middle of the 1st round.

I think a lot of Sabres fan have begun to temper their expectations.

If it's that divisive......chances are, it's pretty decent value on both sides.

Helps Vegas with salary and we'll play him top line minutes this year & flip him at the deadline

 

[Fjordy]

Guys, what is the value of Hague?

Bean? Valimaki? Jokiharju? Dunn? Brannstrom?

 

[Ace]

Agreed. Also fits the speed and skill push on the forward group.

 

[Gabrielor]

Krebs would be my third favorite core asset to get in a Eichel trade behind only Zegras and Byfield....


...but the rest of that package is strange.

 

[Kublakhan]

I think I like Krebs a bit more than KK at this point..............buuuuuut I still take that deal.

Damn it Zman you would take a bag of pucks at this point, quit caving so much lol

 

[Jimmybarndoor2]

Man you guys panic too much. Let the deal come to you. Wild does this or they don’t improve. A top center was what Montreal and Vegas needed to win. Let Jack stay. Looks like a lot of the other teams trolls are on here. Let Sabres keep Eichel and say goodbye to the cup to the lowballers

They need this deal more than us

 

[BananaSquad]

Get this done and over with. I’m ready to move onto the future.

Relax. Don’t rush the deal. And if it doesn’t happen then it’s ok. Eichel can captain the ship

It’s the same people who also spend the day offering way less and saying Buffalo won’t get this much. Just ignore them.

if they could get a prospect like Krebs, a 1 and another good big young D like is listed here…I’m in.
