but you have stated it several times that you want that 2022 first round pick as well

Jack is no Kaberle

- homiedclown


Well sure
2022 is a great draft- especially at the top
So if we can get 1 more piece out of them,
that’s what i want

I'll take it a step further-

Chances any of Zegras, Drysdale, Pick #3, are 75% as good as Eichel within 3 years? I'd say slim

Therefore getting two of the above is minimum for me to deal Eichel

- sbroads24



I agree entirely. I don't care how unhappy he is, the only way I'd trade Eichel is if it works for the Sabres.

You know what would make him happy to be here? Winning, let's try that. I USED to be excited at the idea of a healthy Jack, Sam, and Ullmark or another goalie along with a full year of Donnie.

Now who the heck knows what's happening. But KA needs to not get bowled over in a trade of his star center. It can't happen, the team, and he will never recover.

If they don't get the best deal for Eichel, it will make ROR look equitable.

I don't disagree with you, but we've been saying this for nearly 10 years. Draft X is loaded at the top.

I remember that.......in 2015, we had what two top 10 picks(?). And if we trade Eichel, we'll have 0 playoff wins from all that.

It was mismanaged, I agree. Better to have more chances that not as many, also agree.

I'm just sick of saying it. And it appears I'm going to have to get used to saying it for a bit longer.

No trades until he passes the 3rd grade, this is a learning process.

Admittedly, what i want back for Eichel is on the high end of the spectrum
We might not get all that
But it’s Eichel, so I’m at a least asking for 4 prime pieces
And I’m hopeful there’s enough teams involved in the bidding that we get it

This. We have a ton of assets 22 and under and we should be getting a couple more premium pieces. I am actually looking forward to it.

Whatever word u wanna call it instead is fine by me i guess
But we’re the last place team in the league & we’re trading away our 2 best players

Bottom line:
Another couple rough seasons (at least) while we are waiting for the talent to grow up & be solid contributors

Rumors abound that Rostislav Klesla considering NHL comeback. Sabres still own his rights following his failure to report after being traded to Buffalo in 2014. Would bring a lot to the Sabres young blue line...stay tuned

A good point was made on GR a few minutes ago as to why the Ducks are motivated to make this move. Their core is around 30 - you've either got to go for it or move the vets. If memory serves me they are tied to some bad contracts so they might have to double down.

Or commit to a full tear down and go for it when Zegras and Drysdale are 22/23 years old
