From Russo:

”And, there’s still that never-ending issue of potentially finding a No. 1 or 2 center, although at least temporarily the Wild have backed out of Jack Eicheltrade talks, sources say, because they’re fed up with the asking price from the Buffalo Sabres for the $10 million star with a neck injury.”

*shrug*

Unless I am mistaken the rumours had said "picks in the deal" and not necessarily "back to Buffalo" but I could be wrong

Yea the way it was worded, it could just be a dumb 7th rounder moving. Hope I'm wrong

lol, Power does look a lot like Clark Kent!   

You inspired me to do the rest haha

Ehh, he looks like if Clark Kent got hit with a shovel at a young age. He's like..just a bit janky. Like 4%

Even Wayne Gretzky started his career with zero games played, ya know... 

If the Sabres do their due diligence and like what they find, then you go for it. Tho getting both would be nice to kinda hedge against one another, I admit

They definitely can. I’m a big proponent of the cap being fake but in the world most teams operate it’s not a great situation for the player or team. If I were Minnesota I’d still do it because you’re not going to contend with what you’ve got anyways and guys like Jack aren’t available often. BUT in reality it isn’t a good fit.

Minny would need to ship a few million back from somebody (Dumba? Sturm?) in order to make the cap work better for them and that's where I get worried cuz I doubt they'll want to move big cap hits AND two prospects AND draft capital..when in reality I value the last two more. Then I start to get RoR package flashbacks and I'm all the sad

Never thought I'd reference Breakfast Club on a Sabres board about Eichel but here we are

Wouldn't be surprised if they announce the assistants tomorrow. Other than that, probably all fluff

Thought i remembered a month or two ago one of the insiders (Dregs, Friedman, etc) said Ellis was basically a sure thing to return if Granato stayed, but Girardi may need more convincing cuz the Rangers might offer him something.. didn't hear anything since tho. I hope they're able to bring him back, young D core looked notably better by year's end

Yea, seriously..Jack and Sam? I wouldn't be shocked if both of the players would love that trade, but I have a real hard time coming up with enough pieces for both. First off, just moving your 1 and 2 center in the same deal is bonkers, but ***** I'll play along.. Both firsts this year, Rossi, Boldy, Zuccarello?/Dumba?/other big cap hit player, ...maybe more draft capital afterwards?..it *has* to be like 5 legit pieces for what semi-becomes the Sedin twins....

What feels more likely to me is one or the other moving to MIN. Who knows tho...i bet we're less than a week away from fireworks..

We have finally entered Jack Eichel photoshop territory on Twitter. Someone posted this one.

He *does* look good in red... think that's his natural color
