JohnC Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 14 minutes ago, New Scotland (NS) said: With respect, you missed @dudacek point that all you do is post in this thread that you do not believe Jack will be traded until he is healthy, with more words added, but that's the bottom line. His suggestion, which maybe kind of tongue-in-cheekie, that you stay out of this thread until Jack is healthy is a pretty polite way of saying that you are not contributing in any way to the discussion of rumours and proposals. I happen to agree with you that Johnny won't be traded until he is healthy because it's very unlikely the Sabres will get anywhere near his value in return. I posted that once and then have sat back and enjoyed this thread and probably made a comment or two along the way about trade proposals / rumours. I appreciate your comments and will take it to heart. But my stance on the Eichel trade issue has not been static. At first like most posters I was requiring a high yield in return for a trade. As time has gone on and the situation has evolved it is apparent that until his health status is clarified the return offers will not be consequential. The choice is either accept the lower return or wait until Jack is restored as a player (if that will happen) and then go back to the market. So in order to not create an obstruction on this topic I won't further post on it. At least for the foreseeable future. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can post, but after making your main point clear, as I have done just have fun with it. Make proposals and spread rumours ... the more outlandish the better ... lol!! Just pull a @pi2000 and just say 'my source' says this, or that, and you never have to back it up, as we all know that sources are just like sauces and they are all secret. 😉🍺 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 No one's a party pooper. If we stuck with only posting trade rumours and speculation this beaut would not even be one page long I'd wager. Of course this thread was going to implode and then explode with 265 pages and counting of mostly nonsense. It's what we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Informed speculation from the Flames Athletic beat writer: Monahan, Coronato, Dube and a 2022 first-round pick. She says the package is close to the surface ask of 4 1st rounders Monahan is there mostly to make the money work, Coronato was their top pick this year and their best prospect, Dube is young but has upside and is already an NHL player. She gives the impression Pelletier or Zary could be substituted for Dube or Coronato. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zary had 7 points in 9 AHL games after 24 in 15 WHL games. Edited August 13, 2021 by French Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I’d keep Monahan, I’d guess he would only accept the move if we had another prepared. Retain half his contract and send him somewhere for another solid piece or two.

Norcal Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Calgary is intriguing. Tkachuk won't be coming back but I'd love a player like him on Sabres ice. At this point it's becoming less likely a trade even happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s when the pressure will build up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure there is anything to it but things have really tightened up with the KA regime. If I had to guess, I’m guessing Buffalo is hoping a straight deal with LV but is prepared to settle for a three way with the NYR. Just to be clear, this is all just speculation on my part given where things stood before the draft. If nothing else, Wookie and Dudacek can work on a scenario that has Z ending up in LV and Jack going to NYR. Have at it boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
