Trading an nhl asset for prospects and draft picks is an asinine way to do business!!!what do you do if and when they don’t pan out !! Case and point just look at the trades of Ryan Miller and Ryan oreilly!! And look what you got for Taylor hall!! Miller you got nothing!!! With oreilly you have Thomson and the draft pick !! And you got poop for Hallandale you had to give up lazer who scored more goals then captain candy ass and hall both !! And you want (frank)ing draft pick and prospects!! That is why this team will be 11 years plus not making the playoffs!! Maybe 2030!!

Martin Erat for Filip Forsberg.

Mikael Granlund for Kevin Fiala.

Derick Brassard for Mike Zibanijad.

Matt Duchene for Bowen Byram and Sam Girard

Erik Karlsson for Josh Norris and Tim Stutzle

That’s just within 30 seconds of me writing this post. I’m sure I can think of more if you give me some time.

You take the best return you can get for a player period.

I may be wrong, but I think to his point, Buffalo trades assets and Buffalo gets garbage in return.

The bigger point is still valid - you generally lose the trade when you trade an eilte player. But that doesn't mean we can't do well in the trade and maybe even be better off, especially since our hand is forced.

They should just cut Beasley. He’s now an idiot and a distraction

Well think everyone knows that, you gotta just hope the sum of the pieces make you a better overall team.

I think if we cut him for that we'd have to cut half of the team. Then again, by his logic if that happens it is because the lord wills it so.

They wouldn't lose the trade if YOU were in charge of executing it.

Converse argument, Griffin Reinhart was traded for the pick that became Mathew Barzal. I know we have a few Reinhart fans here, but I think that trade worked out pretty well for the Isles.

Best case scenario is a nieuwendyk for Iginla type transaction. I understand Eichel was a better player than Nieuwendyk was at that point of time, and hoping for any prospect to turn into a HOF like Iginla is more or less a pipe dream, however getting a high end prospect back for Eichel is ideally better than trading him for veterans like a Sean Monahan.

Sabres aren’t winning next year even with Eichel.

Might as well get good young players that can fit not only for next year but for future years.

Saying to not trade Eichel for a high end prospect is not something I agree with.

it's a slippery slope

one one hand the nfl is saying non vaccinated people have to stay in their hotel


yet on the other hand vaccinated people can leave the hotel and bring the unknown back to the hotel


at some point they need to get back to normality

People have a right to their own opinion and the right to do to their body with what they chose. You know the motto "My body my Choice" Let him play and follow the NFL's protocols. If he hates it that much, then he can quit or get the vaccine.

Beasley should be made at the players union for agreeing to such dumb rules.

There’s tons of trades like this that work out….
and tons that don’t
We’ll just have to wait & see what happens

We could probably get NHLers back for Eichel that are pretty good
But it’s no guarantee they’d work here either
See: Taylor Hall, Bogosian, Okposo, etc etc

Get a boatload of high end prospects & picks to add to the new young core
Of course, not all are likely to work out like we hope
But that’s still the best idea by a long shot
