So we deal with a toxic situation, that affects the rest of the youth coming up. This is going to be a young team. Jack, get the ***** out of Buffalo. I understand and I get the sentiment that it's stale here. But, maximize the best return you can, that isn't Ryan ***** O'Reilly type value. Thanks Botts, and move on. I love the talent, but his attitude is crap. Anyone who wants to trade for Laine, get out of here too.

Eichel's NMC doesn't kick in in until 2022-23. He can be moved anywhere this offseason.

By the time we're relevant Fleury is gone. He's a UFA after next season. I don't understand the fascination with trading for a 37 year old goalie. Yes, he's a great netminder, I don't doubt it. Where is the realization, that our team defense is a barn fire, we have no center depth trading Eichel, and this makes me puke. Yes, it moves him out West, but just ***** no. Krebs, Tuch are appealing, but there's nothing else. A late 1st and a 2nd, for Jack Eichel. Just no. Barf.

I don't understand Vegas as a trade partner. Meh.

I just don't understand, unless you're getting Krebs, Glass, Tuch and Theodore, what else do they have. They are stacked to the cap, their picks are late, and their young assets aren't that great. Cormier, is okay and I like Dorofeyev, but I still don't see the Russian factor being suddenly open minded here.

Dach, Boqvist, Reichel and 1-10, Seabrook LTIR contract and conditional 2nd (If Ristolainen Is retained) for Eichel and Ristolainen.

This is worst trade partner available after Toronto (but there is a snowballs chance in hell that happens). If Jones isn't interested in re-signing in Columbus he surely is not re-signing in Buffalo. Laine, to me is a player who needs to be insulated by a veteran roster for him to be successful. He also has such a off putting attitude and his trade value isn't all that hot. Texier, Chinakhov, are quality pieces but they are so far down the list in terms of overall value in comparison to other trade partners. Domi, has no value with his injury issues and inconsistencies. Pending UFA's over 27 (see Merzlikins, Korpisalo and Jenner, yeah no thanks.). I'm not paying Jones 10+ million. If you want his type of defensemen we can go after Dumba. Jones, Merzlikins, Texier and 1-5 is a meh proposition. I would rather go after Dach and 1-11 than this scrap package.

Except he's 27 with one year remaining on his contract before he can leave in free agency. I don't trust many pending free agents who would want to stay here long term at the moment.

This is possible. I suppose. Remove the negative players who are upset at being stuck in a vacuum of losing for too long and allow your team to just move on.

I don't understand acquiring a mid to late 20's goalie. First, this team is not going to be good enough. I'm not trading Reinhart for a goalie as an asset. The first is fine. I'd rather sign a stop gap and work on integrating UPL into the long term plans. If we trade Reinhart, Eichel and Ristolainen, we're going to be WORSE, not better.

Anyone who says Columbus is an attractive trade partner, is an imbecile.

Awesome!

Good and it should be. He's better than any center rostered on: Anaheim, Columbus, Minnesota, Dallas, Montreal, Vegas, Calgary. You can suggest that he's possibly better than Zibanejad (NYR) and Kopitar (LAK) due to his age. So it's easy to see, regardless of his injuries, he's a trade a way from being a top 5 NHL center. He's also signed, unlike Reinhart, and cannot protest where he goes.

This team is incompetent on all fronts.

Ullmark, is the main priority. Then other things. I guess, I'm in the minority. I'd rather sign someone as a one year stopgap otherwise, and develop and let UPL come up in his own way. If we don't re-sign Ullmark, a one year only would be my approach. This team, when not "if" we trade Eichel, will be terrible. STOP THE CYCLE OF PATCHWORK GM B/S, that this franchise has been on for 11 years.

Columbus isn't a factor because the majority of their assets for futures aren't very equitable. So to me, it's just a load of rubbish. Also, why does Gibson make any sense for an Anaheim team looking to go all in to pursue Eichel. It makes absolutely ZERO sense for Anaheim. Shrugs. One team will overpay when weighing against their competitors, it only takes one. Columbus is THE WORST trade partner. PERIOD.

It's definitely all about Los Angeles, Anaheim, Minnesota, Chicago, NY Rags, in that order for me. I'm avoiding keeping trading him within the EAST, unless someone over pays to the moon. I'm not sure why everyone is gung ho about Gibson, he's good, but he's not going to get better coming to Buffalo with our ***** defense. In addition, we can always just take on Kesler, and his exempt LTIR contract for one more year, and bury him for salary purposes. I'd rather have Dostal in a deal coming back from Anaheim than Gibson at this point.

Absolutely no interest in Gibson in any way shape or form. If Anaheim is acquiring Eichel, they are NOT trading Gibson. It makes zero sense. 3OA, Zegras, Comtois, Perreault, LaCombe, Drysdale are all pieces that make sense. Toss in someone like Steel as a wild card toss in.

For me you can acquire a young center, and assets and you move him out West.

The Pegula's should sell the team and focus their future on the Bills. I feel like it's just time. The fans are fed up, and won't support this crap anymore.

Dach, 11th, Boqvist, Reichel is an alright return for sure.

I can definitely agree with that.

I don't see Toronto taking his contract, because I cannot see any deal that Buffalo would do with Toronto. How in the hell would any Sabres fan want to trade Eichel to the Queefs.

Uhm, that's even worse. No thanks.

One thing I would like to stop seeing is the Marner for Eichel trash. In no universe, will we trade him to Toronto.
