Jack Eichel and 2023 3rd Traded to Vegas for F Alex Tuch, C Peyton Krebs, 2022 1st Top Ten Protected and 2023 2nd

[Taro T]

Probably about as good a deal as they could muster given all the issues.  

But still don't agree that this additional resetting of the reset of the original rebuild was necessary.

He is typing in a world that makes it impossible to type goodly.

I think he means that if he is wrong on this he is sorry for getting everyone's hopes up as this has been going on for so long with rumours just about everyday.

Andrew has a source deep inside the Sabres org.  I would think that it's KA.

if KA is his source why would he be wrong?

[Flashsabre]

So how are the Sabres cap compliant? Is there another deal?
 

I like this trade, it is more then fair for the circumstances. Tuch and Krebs will add a lot and 3 1st round picks this season.

Meh, at least it's done. Hope for Krebs. Just hurts how bad we wasted Eichel.

Exactly. This is a losing situation for us. That return was the best they could get. But we finally are moving on. That’s all that can be done now.

This whole thing sucks

I think he had to put something in there to protect his source and just in case.

Interesting question.

I think you missed at least one resetting in your time line there.

My first thought when I read it was that it was his poorly worded attempt at an apology to Sabre fans, if his intel/info was incorrect on the return for Eichel.

[LabattBlue]

Considering the circumstances, I’ll say, good job KA.  This coming from someone who thinks his hiring was a mistake.

We got Krebs. Tuch is a great get.  2022 is a loaded draft. Bye Eichel.

Could be great for Vegas when he gets healthy.

what does that mean?

I wish the 2nd was a better prospect, but the top 3 pieces are exactly what we needed them to be, so I will not complain about the 4th piece. 

 

Solid work Kevyn

This is pretty incredible. Who's his source? Eichel himself?

Tuch, the kid lived with peters in jr's I believe 

[Doohickie]

I can't believe the last thing I posted last night was this:

Total blind squirrel/nut moment.

The way I see it is that KA got close to his ask and Jack's neck is still jacked.  I'm glad he was able to get it done, and the risk on Jack's neck is no longer ours.  I really think this is gonna be 2019 Jack : post-surgery Jack :: Pre-concussion Connolly : Post-conussion Connolly.  If that's the case, KA nailed it.

[GASabresIUFAN]

I guess KA got his 4 pieces after all.

No salary retained. At least we get to look forward to the rumors coming out over the next few years on what we could’ve had if some salary was retained.
