So many of you here want to trade Eichel for an if come player. So be it

I want Lafreniere or that type of young prospect in return.

Byfield is iffy at best after his 1st pro year.

Again. I’m not saying he’s a bust but Eichel is 20282x the player byfield is

I figured Wings fans would hate that

Do you want Stevie Y to try to trade up? If so, make me an offer

If it makes sense. But the cost of giving up a young 1C ain’t it.

You think he's a 1C? I'm not being a Richard. Genuinely curious. I see him as a 2 personally. What would you offer?

I personally felt your offer was way too rich for the Wings... but he's also not a certified 1C.

Lets be honest no one is Eichel i think the Closest player to maybe reach his level is Jack Hughes

My hope for all of these is to start a conversation and get some reasonable counter offers like the one from the Sens fan.

Let's make a deal

Sabres trade the 1OA pick for a new Hockeybuzz blogger that stops TRADING SAM REINHART!

Ok, my turn to sit in the snow.

Edit: Okay, it was a good read.

I won't be mad if I get to write a blog about the Sabres giving Sam Reinhart a long term extension. This team is nothing but questions and no answers

Like Beane's little grin on the Josh Allen extension?, keeps everything as close to the vest as he can.

He’s definitely a 1C. Not a top one but definitely a 1C.

And really there’s probably not a deal that makes sense for both teams to swap 1OA and 6OA.

Fair enough. If you change your mind, make an offer
