Proposal: Trade Thread Part 68

[salbutera]

Ironically, I don't think Buffalo will get as much for Eichel as I think most people think. We see it all the time when the trade proposals are waaay out of whack with the reality of the trade.

I think we have the assets to get Eichel as much as any other team. I don't think we have the want or a GM willing to give what it takes to make a trade of that caliber. Simply put, Bergevin won't make a trade he doesn't think he'll win. In Eichel's case, it would take a package that might be too big for him to concede. Just like not wanting to give up Poehling for ROR. It's just not in his DNA to make that deal and give up the youth and picks it would take. Funny enough, Bergevin has done way better in trades than in developing youth, so it would be to his advantage to make a deal and give up the youth.

I'm not holding my breath on any significant changes just yet. Maybe if we get swept, we could see a purge in management but otherwise, expect the expected!

IMO the key will be a combination of providing a minimum of 3-high end assets including a potential 1C + being able to take on all or most of Eichel’s $9M cap hit...

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Why would they get outbid ? The Habs should be all over this. Can't tank, can't sign ufas, its the only way they can acquire a 1C.

The Habs have so many trade chips to make this happen

If Eichel isnt a Hab by september Im going to seriously flip tables.

Never happen.

MB will never do it

I think is accurate but it won’t be a teams top 3 prospect. Usually a top prospect, 1st, top 6 player and possible salary dump. 3-4 pieces with a prized prospect and top 10ish pick as the core of the deal.

In what way does one of the most talented player in the league needs to be physical?

I would say in the way that he needs to be able to take a check and take contact.

Not that i necessarily agree with the poster you were replying to. I would still take the chance though cause we desperately need someone like him.

 

[Yoor]

We need to make this trade for Eichel.

number 1 centers don’t become available. Then again Bergevin didn’t trade for Dubois so I don’t know if he’s capable of making a trade like this.

Nick Suzuki is really good but a franchise center like Eichel? We are talking about Austin Matthews stratosphere.

there’s no touchable

I looked at his numbers real quick, i think the guy has played a full season once. I will admit I haven't watched him play that much but comparing to Matthews is not realistic IMO. In fact, based on Suzuki progress he may very well be in the same ball park point wise as Eichel within the next couple years. I am stat watching yes...but you would be trading a possible close to equivalent player (IMO) down the road ++ for a guy that seems to get injured quite a bit. Anyways I doubt MB will offer up what will be required to obtain him.

 

[The Great Weal]

I hope this is the case with KK. He had a good 17 games until the first few games of April. Scored 10 points (as much as Suzuki), looked like he was finally putting things together, then he fell down as hard as last year and the year before.

Knowing he couldn't physically or mentally handle the length of the last two seasons, I'm guessing that April schedule might have had an impact. I hope so because the last month has made me regret going to bat for him so often.

A bit unrelated, but if Jarmo really believes in that mentality and is desperate for a center, I hope we can get Werenski for KK+.

 

[FF de Mars]

Werenski would solve a lot of problems on this team. The plus would have to be substantial though.

Would love it but it would have to be KK+++.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Trading KK and Keep Danault at top 6 money is the best way to kill your franchise for the next 5-7 years.

Good plan everyone planning to trade KK without a center coming back

Unless you get that stud LD

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Unless you get that stud LD

Good luck with that.

 

[The Great Weal]

Good luck with that.

Well clearly KK has tons of value if you think the franchise will be dead if we trade away KK in favour of Danault, so it falls in line with what you said.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Never said the franchise would be at risk if we trade KK

But it will be at risk if they use Danault as top 6 money salary. We already have 5-6 dead weights deals. If KK is traded and Danault is kept at 3.5m~3.75m~ it'S fine. But beyond that it's a waste of money.

Montreal will trade for Dylan Larkin this summer

You've heard it here first

I would actually be very down with this trade as long as we didn't give up a ridiculous package in return...unfortunately, I imagine that Yzerman would want a bucketload back for Larkin and I don't blame him...kid might be mercurial and even seem disengaged quite often, but he's ridiculously talented and seems to have a very high Hockey IQ...

That offer might get you Eichel forget about Dahlin.

 

[dcyhabs]

Eichel wasn't healthy this year. Careful trading lots of players for a guy who may have a short career. Vertebral injuries are bad.
