My guess is we get 1 Top Prospect as the payment for Eichel. 1 or 2 Cap Casualties to level the salary cap An assortment of conditional picks

I don't want him anywhere our youngsters this time around.

I wonder if the Sabres could agree to a deal with Anaheim in which he has the surgery while a "Sabre" and then is sent to Anaheim with the Sabres agreeing to pay the percent insurance doesn't cover if he ends up flaming out due to the surgery.

I'll take 1 or 3

At minimum the Sabres should demand a Bluechip Prospect, a cap dump and some conditional stuff.

Vogl's anti-Sabre bias is easily seen by the title's blurb. Nothing in the article points to the Sabres being forced to trade Eichel on the cheap like he seems to want to conclude.

I can honestly understand both sides; at this point though I would let him have the surgery he wants. If he's willing to potentially end his career in order to get this operation then who are we to stop him. My whole run-them-around is in order to not give the idea we are over ruling our team doctors. If the appearance is that of a rogue action by Eichel versus Adams telling him to do it; everyone saves face.

I said with pay, not without pay

But that’s the thing, there wasn’t any other goalies available to sign of higher quality. Plus who’s to say KA didn’t hunt the trade market. Just look how much Colorado had to pay to get Kuemper from Arizona. Obviously the Sabres shouldn’t be trading 1sts for goalies. And if CBJ is asking for the same for Korpisalo then he’s wise not to make that trade either.

You can’t go from 4 1sts to less than ROR. In that case you tell Jack to get the surgery behind closed doors and the suspend with pay until he heals. Screwing this trade up would mean waiting 5 more freaking years to see much of anything and that is completely unacceptable

Defenestration of the owner?

I'll slam the door close if that's the case. The supposed offer was garbage so Adams had better not have started dropping his price anywhere near a bunch of question marks

You can't suspend him for not getting a surgery but you can suspend for getting a surgery against the wishes of the team.

Zero The Eichel trade should focus on getting a number 1 center prospect. A goalie is the least of my concerns in regards to the Eichel trade

Just wish Vegas would stop dragging their feet. I still don’t have interest in trading him in the East.

Although we lost, I enjoyed the game and the team worked very hard and legitimately looked passable most of the night.

My primary target would still be Bishop via trade, Subban over waivers in net

Honestly I’d disagree, just a couple years ago he couldn’t stop a beach ball with Toronto

Yes, then when Samuelsson gets healthy we can run Dahlin - Borgen Samuelsson - Jokiharju Hagg - Miller? Pysyk Waive Butcher maybe?

Miraculous Washingtonians

So far nothing to interesting; hopefully Borgen ends up on there or Dallas is forced to trade a goalie.

Well there's a three way problem pinching the ticket base. 1. Bad Team 2. Canadian Border is Closed 3. COVID Vaccination Requirement

I think our best hope is a Dallas goalie not named Holtby for a 2nd or 3rd

I’d say there’s a far better chance of his one ankle being screwed up. (My ankles are bad but one actually will randomly go loose upon walking on some sort of uneven land causing me to fall.) If the ankle that was hurt all those years ago has never fully recovered; it could explain his trouble staying on his feet when pushed with the puck.

I think he shows he can be a top end 2C and put up 50 pts but will show he isn’t quite a 1C
