French Collection Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 1 hour ago, WildCard said: Even with Jack and Kaprizov they won't contend. Losing Rossi+ and with those buyout cap hits, they'd be screwed for the next few years at least. Don’t tell the Wild that, he IS their missing link.

I'd argue it puts them deeper in the Eichel conversation. They have Kaprisov and Fiala still to sign IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he's going to say yes, it really didn't move the needle for me at all. You’re leaving out a very specific piece of information. This is the quote ““Every kid grows up dreaming of playing for their hometown team. Whether that happens now, later in my career. Who knows if it ever happens….” I really don’t care about the playing for the hometown team bit. It’s every kid’s dream. But he’s under contract for the next 5 years on a team not named the Bruins. So why did he say the bolded? Why would he want that “now” given he’s the Captain of the team that owes him $50M for the next 5 years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why do you act like there was some kind of subterfuge with the reporter? She asked him whether he would like to play for the Bruins some day. A legitimate question for any home town reporter. No reporter tricks there. He didn’t just say, “yes, that’s every kids dream”. He said maybe “now”. This is fine, and an important part of the interview you seemed to have omitted. Instead, you’re main take was that he was “led”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This meaning he will have no protection for the reminder of his 5 year contract. Means if the team tjay acquire him don’t like him, they can also trade him with no limits That can't be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got Boldy, Rossi, Zuccurello and their 2 1sts this year would that be considered tearing their team apart? After all that would literally only be 1 roster player and a guy who played briefly this year for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acquiring team not having to honor his upcoming NMC. It is indeed false. The NHL just changed that rule so the no movement clauses have to be honored by the acquiring team.

I don’t see him really buying in completely because I think he is pissed and wants a trade. He's pissed because the team hasn't won anything since he was here. If the new regime produces similar results he will certainly want out, but if the team is winning it will be exactly what he wants. He won't want out if the team is relevant.

A simple reminder from Eichel that his NMC kicks in a year with a well-executed wink takes some of it away. The NMC makes it harder to get an appropriate return and therefore makes trading him even less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you are using future tense. I believe that we have run out of future tense and are now in present tense. How long can you say that he will want out soon if this keeps up? I think we got there, we’ve past that point, Its not that Eichel may theoretically want out at some point in the future, he already wants out. Thats just what I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing to stop acquiring team from flipping him after next season before it kicks in. Or, for them to ask Jack to rescind it (which he may go for to play for a contender). His future NMC should hold little influence in trading him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
