Is anyone surprised? Hey for once I actually agree with the owner. Barring the Rangers blowing us out of the water with their offer; there's little reason to accept anything in the Conference. As for the division even more so barring sheer stupidity on the divisional team's part. Boston and Toronto though, no chance; they can offer us the world and I'd still have difficulty.

Trading Eichel in-division is a major no no, even more so if the best we get out of it is a below average center, a D prospect and some chaff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I would think that the offer mentioned in the tweet from Montreal would have to include a bunch of picks. If you trade within the division/conference, the price should be higher since you would be dealing with/helping a team that is competing directly with you.

I think so, he did have to waive it for the draft like many other did but that waive was only when it came to the draft. I don't see him waiving anything to come to Buffalo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 10 hours ago, PerreaultForever said: (I think there should have been a conditional added to the Reinhart deal based on his signing longer term, but I'm still okay with that one as is. Maybe not full value, but necessary and maybe best we could get) The league no longer allows conditions based on whether a player signs. That could have been why the return for Reino was what it was: They might have tried a sign-and-trade and he wouldn't agree to a long term deal because he does intend to go out west asap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 37 minutes ago, kas23 said: I agree. Or at least would have agreed in the past. But, I’m just not 100% sure anymore. I’m not convinced that KA is going to come down on his price, nor do I think he should. Ever. That said, GMs across the league want things on the cheap. I’m not so sure they are going to “decimate their franchise” (or some other overly dramatic verbiage). So, if there is an impasse, which is incredibly possible, Jack is to going to be faced with a big decision. Sit or play hockey. Do you think KA is going to, or should, come down on his price just “to move him”? Assuming Jack is healthy he is not going to sit under any circumstances. It wouldn't be in his best interest. KA has a value range for Jack. If a deal can be made within the range he will make a deal. If not he will hold on until the range is met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it moves to the second year it's no longer protected. Ottawa got burned on that one in the Matt Duchene trade with Colorado. Ottawa chose to move it out a year and Colorado ended up with the 4th overall pick choosing Bowen Byram. The counter argument is that good teams could trade an unprotected pick like San Jose did for Erik Karlsson when Ottawa received the 3rd overall pick and chose Tim Stutzle. I would think that this scenario is why good teams still want to insist on protecting the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a Reino/Risto situation where he will be a UFA in a year, nor is it a desperate situation to get him off the team (at least it isn't unless Terry interferes). He should hold tight. If it's Jack who wants out, the NMC has less effect: Okay Jack, you don't want to get traded to Arizona? Fine, we'll just keep you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Go to just before the 29 minute mark to hear Eichel stuff (ignore the 29:45 mark mentioned in the description - it’s wrong oddly). Or just read my notes! - Florida tried getting Eichel before moving to Reinhart. Nothing came close. - Montreal tried on Eichel on Friday but it’s unclear where things stand. - Minnesota does not appear to be in on Eichel right now because they’re not willing to pay the price. - The Rangers have apparently said Schneider and Nils Lundqvist are untouchable. (My note: stop talking to the Rangers, that’s ridiculous) - Calgary is involved and keeps circling back to see if they can find a match. - Seattle is not involved. - They both agree Seth Jones trade helped the Sabres. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph_communes Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 KA outright said he spent all day Friday talking with Montreal about Eichel trade. I find the comment about K funny as the stats junkies like Jame thought he was the best player from his draft from the get go. Now he’s a bust? Never can please anyone. I won’t be sad seeing Eichel on a team like Montreal. He will demand all the minutes and bring them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
