I remember feeling like that around this time when ROR was being auctioned off. In reality what was happening was Botterill was desperately trying to cobble together a deal out of the ashes of offers he had previously turned down.

But something is different here, it just feels, well, it just feels different. No matter the return, we all knew the dismantling needed to happen, and it is. Here's to a stable management team, a coaching staff that can develop what we get and a new era of culture that offers results, not just hope. I raise my Beam and splash of Coke to such an outcome. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the best case scenario. We must maximize the return. They are getting an elite top center. That has to be expensive. Vegas, Minny, desperately need one.

And there’s been leaks of GMs complaining about it. Then rumors of a whole compadre but not touching the top prospects. You’re getting Eichel pony up. That’s what this offer does - it’s not overpay, but it says a team in the West give it up to dominate for the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality what was happening was Botterill was desperately trying to cobble together a deal out of the ashes of offers he had previously turned down. The difference being that the Pegulas forced a deadline on Botts to get a deal done before paying O'Reilly his bonus. There's no impending deadline in this situation. I don't consider free agency to be that deadline. Eichel is a piece that could dramatically shift the balance of power in the West. That will hopefully frighten enough teams (LAK, Anaheim, Minny, Vegas, etc.) to trigger a bidding war over the next few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Amerk Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 I don’t see the appeal the Sabres would have in a 30 year old Smith, an okay prospect in Krebs, a projected bottom pairing D in Hague, and a 1st that would probably be near the dead end of the 1st round. 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately GMKA isnt smart or savvy enough to get a haul like that. Hell get a bunch of picks and blow them on grigorienko thpe players. Cant wait to see what garbage we get for him. Hes under contract just keep him and if he dont wanna play let him sit out for the next 5 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalonill Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 46 minutes ago, Hoss said: They are definitely not. They have the prize in Krebs that should be at the top of any Eichel deal which is the most important piece. Tuch should have a ton of appeal here, as well. He’s a guy I could see wearing the C. They’re not moving Theodore. He’s one of the best defensemen in the league and is under control on a very good contract. So everyone is just happy with one prize in Krebs that's Ridiculous. We're giving up a franchise center at age 25 and that's Acceptable to some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon to be 1G, Fox, Kakko/Laf, Zib, Miller, Buchnevich. Would anyone not take Shesterkin, Fox, Laf and Buchnevich for Eichel?

I-90 W Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) The Rags would not only have to match what Vegas, Minn or Anaheim could offer (they won’t) they’d have to beat it because they’re in our conference. No way he’s going to NYR. Edited July 28, 2021 by I-90 W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
