Carmel Corn Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 1 minute ago, Hoss said: Friedman’s words and tone just now talking about Eichel and saying the price is still too high for teams makes it sound like Eichel is nowhere near being traded and never has been. He also said Eichel is frustrated which tells me Eichel might be the one driving this whole thing. If the team has interest in moving him they can’t ask for TOO much (yes, there is such a thing as too big of a demand). It's a small sample size, but I trust GMKA's trade skills more than I trust his drafting prowess so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I think once the first eight-ish picks were gone, there simply wasn't enough draft capital available for any team to meet the high price. Why force a trade tonight when that's off the board? Good on KA for holding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohicksie Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 So Minny just picked Wallstedt.... if they end up trading for Eich I wonder if he comes with the package? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohicksie Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Eichel? I think it's possible and the longer things go, the more likely it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. Once you make the pick you fall for the pick. The time to trade Eichel was before the first round picks were made. I thought that we could trade Eichel for just as much as Yoda. I was wrong. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I think other GMs thought that GMKA was desperate to trade Eichel and Reinhart before the draft and would crack by the time the draft started, whence their teams could get Eichel and Reinhart with a discount. Kudos to GMKA for holding firm so far. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7+6=13 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 If I'm GMKA, the price just went up. If you make me wait for next year's draft and now I don't know your position, you're paying more. If nobody wants to pay the price then KA message to Eichel is, too bad, play and do what's asked of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Anyone holding out hope for keeping Jack, you can kiss that goodbye. Moving Reinhart is as big as a sign you can get that Jack is gone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving Reinhart is as big as a sign you can get that Jack is gone. agreed...in fact it makes absolutely no sense to even remotely consider keeping Jack now as you might as well go all in with the rebuild (and this is now offically a rebuild) as Jack will have no one to play with (unless you consider Skinner). Sad to think we went through the"tank" years for absolutely nothing as we have now given away what we gained from those terrible years and have not much to show for it. Gonna be long years ahead with no scoring and no superstars or even anyone close (Jack still is considered this and Sam was pretty darn close) either on the team or anywhere in the system. I don't think Power will ever be a superstar d-man like Hedman. Safe to say there is no future superstar anywhere in the system so I have no idea what the plan is here. Be different if this year's 1st overall was a clear future superstar like McDavid or even Jack. Boy after following this team since day one this is depressing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. If Minn does trade for Eichel the focus for the Sabres will probably be their top prospects such as Boldy and Rossi. I don't believe that Minn will give up both of them.
