Speculation: Yotes after Eichel Poll

[Mangosteen]

The New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings have been the two most-linked teams to Buffalo Sabres captain Jack Eichel on the NHL Trade market. Still, multiple sources tell OTR that the Arizona Coyotes have gone from a dark horse to a serious contender to acquire the disgruntled star center.

OTR: Could Patrick Roy Coach The Habs? ‘Yotes’ Targeting Eichel | CHN+

The Sabers are looking for 4 to 6 key items for Eichel. Would you pay this price for Eichel? Just as an example, 2022 1st, Dvorak, Hayton and Schmaltz or Keller.

No, the injury and attitude scares the piss out of me. I’d do Hayton, Schmaltz and a 1st in 2023. I know it’s not enough, but I don’t want to trade that many pieces for a guy who may not be in any shape to play in 2021-2022

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

We just don’t have the picks and the quality of pieces other teams could offer just outshines what we have. Like if Anaheim offered zegras that just dwarfs anything we got

 

[RABBIT]

Is OTR even credible?

EDIT: Opened link, saw the article was written by Jimmy Murphy. There’s my answer, not credible.

 

[Muppet]

1. We cannot afford Eichel
2. Eichel won't leave Buffalo to join the Western Conference version of Buffalo
3. Serious neck injury

3 strikes and you're out!!! That is the right call. But I don't think Buffalo is getting what they expect either.

No clue, was just googling OEL trade rumours and came across this.

They’re not going to get a Zegras or Drysdale quality prospect out of Anaheim.

 

[Mosby]

Most I would do is something like Hayton, Schmaltz, Kuemper and a conditional first. Maybe throw in the CBJ pick.

 

[Jormungandr]

It’s a month old. Craig Morgan has pretty much said those rumors were garbage and he doesn’t believe we’re looking into Eichel.

Craig Morgan has said a ton of things and pretty much proven wrong less than 24 hours later. haha

He’s the only guy we got for Coyotes news. You have a better option? Hopefully better than Jimmy f***ing Murphy?

That is a pipe dream.

Is he worth a LOT? Yes. But realistically, is he a top 10 C?

I would rather go after Tkachuk.

I'd trade that package for Eichel, Tkachuk or anybody in that category of player. Wouldn't even have to think about it.

 

[KG]

We're not going to trade for Eichel, Armstrong's made it clear he wants to build this team thru the draft.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Fan of both teams. I don't want Eichel here, there or anywhere. This saga has revealed to me that Jack has a real character issue. You can't build a winning culture around that.

 

[TheLegend]

Jimmy Murphy is Eklund with a Bostonian ego and attitude to match.

I’d do that without a condition on the 1st and would definitely do the CBJ pick also.

 

[Name Nameless]

Trades like this is not the answer at this point in (sadly) another rebuild. Trades like this you do when you are one piece away.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I really believe that we need to rebuild from scratch, but after all these frustrating years, my heart yearns for something positive and really exciting to come our way, so yes, I would love to see Eichel here.

 

[Schemp]

We don't have 4 key pieces

 

[BUX7PHX]

I just don't see the willingness to let go of the pieces to make it happen.

I envision that one of Chychrun or Garland is the first player that Buffalo would ask to be included, and frankly, those are close to non-starters for the conversations, in my book.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

No reason to get Eichel, all it would do is decimate an already thin skill level group. We'd finish bottom of the barrel with Eichel and he'd request a trade out of town. We just need to let BA get us some upgrades on our current assets and get exceptionally better at drafting. Drafting "talent" is the end all be all of this franchise. Without it we're doomed.

If lottery balls had fallen a bit differently, we could have had Eichel for free :sob:

If Matthews birthday was a few days later, he would have fallen into our lap. The hockey gods hate us.
