[keppel146]

proposal was just offered in trade board by a sabres fan

fiala
boldy
kahk
penguins 1st

for
eichel

i think i make that trade

Idk. I don’t think I would. Could be 3 legit core pieces. I still believe in Kahk. Shoot, could be 4 legit pieces of the 1st pans out.

most of the league disagrees with you

That’s ok. Kahk>Kuemper and look how that turned out. Kuemps is now a decent goalie. Kahk is way too young to give up on.

Nope, not from me, unless I know that Eichel is far healthier than he was last year, and that his neck is on a road to recovery that will enable him to start next year on time. I expect Boldy to be a top 6 guy on this team by year's end, and a 1st liner in the future. Fiala is already a 1st line talent. KK...maybe a 1B , but he, and Boldy, are on great contracts.

Fiala, Beckman, two 1st's(one a 2022 nd conditional on Eichel's Gp), and Rask for cap purposes, though if my arm is twisted I'll go Greenway.

HA!

Johnson's contract might be 1 year too long,, otherwise I would be willing to take him for a 2022 1st rounder

I would be ok sending them #26 this year and agree his contract might be 1 yr too long. He could be a decent top 6 center for us.

 

[Olcoach]

Best I would do is this year's third and next year's 2nd. I don't think he is worth a first, and we are helping another team with their cap problem.

 

[GuerinUp]

well, chuck fletcher just got fleeced again.

risto

for hagg
13th overall
2nd 2023

 

[Bazeek]

Fletcher better go into some kind of witness protection program to keep him away from the analytics guys.

Holy shit, makes me wonder what we could we have gotten for Dumba?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

So a 2nd to get rid of Ghost for the opportunity to pay a 1st + 2nd for Ristolainen. Yikes.

 

[Engebretson]

That man just hates 2nd round picks

 

[RussosBurner]

If nothing else, we can at least all celebrate today because Fletcher is NOT our GM anymore lol what a terrible trade.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

And he's a UFA after this year. Double yikes.

 

[Cluttered]

Anyone else think that they might be trying to swap Fiala for VAN's 9 OA and then package that with one of their own 1st round picks + Boldy or Rossi for Eichel? To me it seems like that's Buffalo's biggest sticking point with the Wild, that their prospects are fine but their picks aren't top 10

 

[Spurgeon]

Feel like if Soucy doesn’t get selected, we may have been sending Dumba the Flyers way.

The 1st is coming with Johnson. The Wild wouldn't be giving up anything

i feel like fiala is worth more then the 9th overall this year...

Would rather do Fiala for Horvat if we needed to move Fiala for a C. Just do not want Eichel considering what it'll do to the whole make up of the team. Much rather keep Fiala and overpay for Dvorak with Greenway+1st and add a 2nd if we needed. Boldy-JEE-Fiala would be such a good 2nd line behind Zucc-Dvorak-Kap.

 

[GuerinUp]

must be a crazy day...

i just compared eichel to kirk cousins on the main board

I absolutely agree. Unfortunately, my speculation is more about what I think they are doing, not what I want them to do.

Both Brooks (NYR) and Russo said a trade for Eichel isn't there. I liked Russo's short but clear answer when asked...No.

Russo said No when asked if Eichel would be on Wild by end of day today.
