Sure, after Jack made it clear he no longer wanted to play in Buffalo. But as @LGR4GMpointed out, KA first tried to accommodate Jack by adding pieces before last season. It was only after the season went south that KA pulled the trigger on the rebuild, imo.
Just because Jack didn't want to be here for a rebuild doesn't mean KA was obligated to care.
They traded him because they wanted to.

Is the Boychuk thing basically a cap hit with no real money hit that allows the Sabres to not worry about the floor as the pull players up and down?
He’s a $6 million one-year cap hit on LTIR.
Yup

So, it wasn’t KA looking to move him, it was Eichel not wanting to be here.
Looks like it's both to me

Bergeron is one of the best, most complete players to ever play the game. Not that I disagree with your overall point, about needing a collection, but that the drop off from Bergeron to the next guy wasn't extreme is a testament to their team building ability, not a mark against Bergeron being a star. Bergeron was/is absolutely a star. When you are one of the top 5/10 centres in the game for the duration of your career, if he's not a "star", that's just semantics.
I would bet most hockey fans don't even think about Bergeron. He's one of the best players in the game and he gets zero attention. I like that.

I think this is the way. Amass a depth, relentless team instead of 2-3 All Star talents.
I envy the Bruins for what they've had with Bergeron, Marchand, Chara, Krejci, etc. You can hate these guys all you want but, minus Chara finally moving on, the Bruins have been the model of stability for a very impressive term.

Don't love the trade in a vacuum. You can't replace an Eichel.
The only way we "win" it is if he comes back less than what he was.
I do like the players we got and the personality of the core Adams is building.
Mostly, I'm just glad it's over. Onward and upward.
If we're lucky we end up with a collection of players similar to what the Bruins have had for the last decade. No obvious number one star but just a bunch of good to really good hard working guys with a good leadership core that knows how to play a team game.

I like Tuch. He absolutely crushed us at the Sabrespace Posters game that first year Vegas was in the league. Very much a Donny Meatballs kinda player.

Just announced that Eichel is getting the ADR. That's wild.

I'm really surprised there are no conditions in this trade regarding Eichel's health over the remaining length of the contract.
Vegas must be really confident in his ability to recover from whichever surgery it is that he is going to get....-

There's real risk there, for sure. If he were to get the fusion, I'd say he'd almost certainly return to form -- but with diminished quality late in his career and certainly diminished quality of life post-career. The ADR is a huge unknown. I wonder what happens now that he's with Vegas.
This is basically the only thing I'm really curious about at this point. The trade and the subsequent return is whatever. There's a whole other chapter to this saga that is only just beginning.

I wonder what the chances are for either of these two players to be disgruntled upon coming over? I wonder if we got to speak with them at all?
I'm not the biggest Buffalo cheerleader but I'll take it over the abomination, the affront to god that is Las Vegas, all day every day.

Not me. I am still expecting a return that will be underwhelming.
They are trying to flush a broken john from the organization, but that is next to impossible.
Yeah I can't believe anyone is buying this ***** lol

Didn't the Sabres play a game last year where the other team was riddled with COVID and it should have been canceled?

Are the Kings playing second game in less than 24 hrs?
Yesterday's game was at the same time, so just a typical back to back.
