Dreger: Things heating up with jack eichel

[Pinkfloyd]

My guess is Buffalo doesn't accept this offer.

Sharks can pretty easily beat that offer. Ducks could too even without including Drysdale, Zegras, and the #3.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

If the Ducks aren't in on Eichel anymore, I really don't see who has a high pick and the prospects that Buffalo would want for Eichel.

I think Buffalo may have to settle on a return that is far below what they want for him.

The Rangers may not have a high pick, but they have plenty they can offer Buffalo to make a fair trade.

If Buffalo is obsessed with a high pick in this crappy draft, then they’re already screwed.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Same shit every year, stop buying into this crap.

Every year there is going to be MASSIVE trades at the draft, then nothing happens.

 

[hamzarocks]

Vegas is a Jack Eichel away from ending their lengthy cup drought

They should be trading MAF in a cap clearing move and then offer

We're hearing they want centre prospects back...and a lot of teams dropping out.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I don’t think any of the rebuilding teams speculated to be in on him stay in for long, doesn’t make sense to give up a strong young prospect+++.

I’d also hope Minnesota is out unless Buffalo gets pinned into a corner down the line and accepts a shit deal. Dumba + Khusnutdinov + Beckman + 1st type deal. I think I’m officially out of Rossi/Boldy are involved, and I’d hope they do better elsewhere

You might be right but they can't afford to do that

Nobody is really dropping out this is a game of chicken

 

[Web In Front]

Is 8th overall, Turcotte, Madden and Clague enough?

 

[AirGut]

That's right, Anaheim. Clear the way for the Sharks to do their thing with trading for potentially badly injured elite talent that make a lot of money but may not live up to lofty expectations. The Eichel rumor timeline has been pretty interesting to see unfold. Lots of talk about New York and Los Angeles and then they fall off. Now Anaheim, Minnesota, and Chicago have been discussed where Anaheim's interest seems to be waning. Minnesota and Chicago don't seem to have both criteria available but have interesting pieces that make sense. San Jose is not being discussed at all yet everyone knows on one level or another that DW is kicking tires. I'm sure Vegas will dip their toes in this. Columbus already bowed out. Vancouver makes some sense as well but would they pay that sort of price? Doesn't sound like it given a lack of discussion around their interest.

Hope to see a relatively quick conclusion to this after the Finals are over. Eichel going anywhere is going to be a big deal to talk about.

NYR is not out whatsoever. They never were, this is something the Rangers have been doing for years. They're heavily involved at first and then it is rumored they're "Out", only to be back in and get who they want. The Rangers started this Eichel craze almost a year ago back in August. They're still gonna pull the trigger

This is getting so tired.

maybe Holden as well for $$

Dog shit offer.

The nypost is saying Buffalo wants 4 pieces with value of a first round pick.

You just won jack eichel

 

[SFKingshomer]

SJ does make some sense as they have no choice but to go all in. I can't see the Ducks or Kings interested in mortgaging their future for 1 player. MN, Vegas, and NYR make sense as well.

The Rangers may want to pull the trigger but it doesn't mean that the Sabres will. The Rangers are out because the Sabres will say they're out. lol

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Jack was probably just in BC the last couple days.

That's about right

Nothing like throwing darts at a board.

 

[Selanne00008]

I don't know prospects around here like others. So Idk a lick about Clague. he good?

I think this is a decent offer, No???


Side Note: How fast can we get to 100 pages in this one?!

I really wonder what the betting odds look like on Eichel by Fall:

+300 Sabres
+300 Kings
+350 Anaheim
+350 Vegas
+350 Rangers
+400 Columbus
+400 Chicago
+400 Minny
+400 The Field

Note: Idk how to make ideal odds and gave this 30 seconds of thought.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Dog shit offer.

Wouldn't be the first time BUF received less than they should have on a good centre.

 

[LuGBuG]

Still holding out hope Anaheim gets him but happy to see that it seems GMBM won't budge on Zegras or Drysdale.

 

[kenfury]

I'm a disillusioned Sabres fan who lived in Seattle for years and loved the city (Although I am a more of an Everett guy).

Given: the offer sheet for Eichel is four 1st round picks.

Question: Does Seattle find value in doing the "Vegas model" where the want to compete now and pay for him or want to play it slow? If they want to compete now would something like Eich + Skinner/Okposto (who have different values) entice them to give Buffalo something like this years 2OA, first choice in the expansion draft and all their "dont take this guy" extra picks going forward? Does Buffalo want to be the equivalent to an expansion team where the start all over?

If you are Buffalo would you do this? If you are Seattle would you? I'm dont know and I'm not advocating a position, it's a legit question about team building, philosophy and composition..
