Speculation: Trade and Free Agency Talk XLIX

[Bazeek]

I dont know how to post from Twitter and dont know how credible Jimmy Hayes is but he says Wild looking to land Eichel tonight/tomorrow

Jimmy Hayes on Twitter: "Rumors are starting to swirl!!! Billy G and the Wild are looking to land Eichel and it might be by tomorrow!!! @MissinCurfew" / Twitter

At first I was going to say he's full of it, but I was thinking of Jimmy Murphy. That guy's worthless.

I want to say Hayes scooped Russo on the Donato trade by like 15 minutes:


Can't remember if someone else had it before that, though.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Exactly. I just don’t think that’s something to gamble on at the given price

It’s not a huge gamble though. I didn’t hear he was an awful teammate until trade time

But his tweet about Eichel isn't really anything new. "Looking to land Eichel", "could be by tomorrow". These aren't concrete statements, and nothing about them hasn't been reported before by someone else.

Ryan O'Reilly was a terrible teammate that didn't care about winning, or hockey when he was with Buffalo. Won a Stanley cup and Conn Smythe a few months after leaving Buffalo

Yeah, and looking back Russo and Friedman were already on Dubnyk and Donato to the Sharks. So nevermind that.

If the Wild are really as hard after Eichel as everyone seems to be thinking, I wonder if it could be a three team trade to help facilitate the cap issues and Buffalo’s supposed desire for all futures

The problem is we can't just dump our cap issues. Our cap issues are the 15M in dead cap, not Fiala looking for 7M.

Judging by the trade board, Buffalo fans are going to be mighty disappointed with the return when Eichel is moved.

I'll probably talk myself into it pretty quickly if it happens, but right now, I don't want the Eichel thing to happen.

Kaprizov - Rossi - X
Boldy - X - Fiala
Greenway - JEE - X

This is a top 9 that will be competitive over the next 5-10 years if the X's are filled smartly.

where is Zucc??

where is Zucc??

In Florida with the Lizard King

 

[keppel146]

where is Zucc??

Maybe retired

I’m just talking about the 25 and unders. I don’t think Zucc will make it to the 5-10.

IF this deal happens, I will view this as pretty close to a loss if both Rossi and Boldy go. I still feel like the Rangers have more to offer and will likely make some sort of last minute push that'll put them ahead to get the deal done. Of course I'd like to finally have a 1C, but not at the cost of putting that kind of dent in the farm. Losing either Rossi or Boldy will suck ass. I think they're both going to be high end players. If I had to choose one though, as much as I hate to say it, I'd rather lose Boldy. Only reason is, the Wild have had a black hole at the C position for their entire existence. I don't think there is any scenario where at least one of Rossi/Boldy doesn't head to Buffalo. I don't think the above package (Greenway, Fiala & both '21 firsts) is even close to getting a deal done unfortunately. If somehow Guerin pulled that deal off, they better build a monument to the guy right next to that Herbie statue. But, it ain't happening. If he gives up both players, f*** him and I hope he's fired before the season starts.

He is pretty plugged in the the NE guys if my memory serves me well

If we get Eichel without giving up Boldy or Rossi I will do unhealthy things to a 30 rack of hamms

Send this to BBB

So, usually the post trade medical examination is more of a formality, but in this case you would think that in Eichel's would be much more serious. If a trade happens tomorrow, do we assume that an examination has already taken place?

Now way I’d trade both Rossi and Boldy. Quite frankly even if BUF is willing to retain some of Jack’s salary I’d still be hesitant. It’ll be one of them though. I just don’t see Rossi going at all. Maybe there’s another player involved from BUF? To say Jack Eichel isn’t one of the most elite players in the league is being very naive. To say that trading for Jack Eichel isn’t a HUGE risk with devastating consequences would be equally naive. Scares the crap outta me lol. LOVE it.

 

[guitarhunterdude]

All I can think of with the 22/23 drafts is we're one down year and some lottery luck from:

I'll probably talk myself into it pretty quickly if it happens, but right now, I don't want the Eichel thing to happen.
Kaprizov - Rossi - X
Boldy - Bedard - Fiala
Greenway - JEE - X

Not to get anyone's hopes up or anything. But I'd certainly take that over whatever this roster would look like with Eichel.
