I’m fine with that, if you think we will have enough center depth without him..

Suzi… Romanov… ‘22 first unprotected (which I doubt will happen)… ‘23 second, because in division. Any cap dump that’s needed

Enough? Not enough?

I rather see suzi and Caufield as the starting pieces, I just don’t see it happening…

Suzuki, Romanov, Byron a 2022 first and a 2023 first because it's in the division and taking a cap dump

I'd love both Suzuki and Caufield but I have to think that's a hard no. But I must have one of them.

Suzuki
Cozens
Mitts

That would be your top 9 centers

The Panthers tried to get Eichel on Friday night.

When it didn't work out, they changed their focus to Reinhart.

If Eichel returns due to the lack of sufficient offers then I think they'll be better than what most expect. I'm not ruling out his return a-tall
- Hank Balling


Not a chance. As in, none.

They're going to take the best deal they can get and let another team deal with Eichel.

Honestly I cannot wait for a team like Minny or Vegas to pony up a couple great prospects and 1sts, land Eichel and go win a cup or contend for years, while teams like the Rangers and Kings middle it and miss the playoffs half the time with all their “untouchables”

Seriously, not like they're trading for a glorified Derek Roy or something...

if i'm vegas i'm just giving whatever futures the sabres ask for for eichel

unless mcphee thinks he has a contract for life because of the initial success, i reckon they are very close to their window closing, and he's already leveraged tons of their future anyways, so might as well go all in now since you're probably fired soon anyways.

don't see why mcphee would have any reason to care about literally nothing left in the pipeline, it would end up being someone elses problem

The Rangers are dangerously close into turning into the Sabres and their late runs to 9th in the division.

They had a run to the cup finals with King Hank, but they're in the middle of what the Kings are about to do in a season or two, transition out their aging starts while trying to stay competitive because of the market they're in

Blah Blah Blah..... The Sabres will be fast, The sabres will be fun to watch, Eichel needs to go.... Blah Blah Blah.... I see the same crap that we have seen for the last 12 years.... Trade way above average players for draft choices and average players... Potential, potential potential..... Potential don't win games..... The more things change the more they stay the same...

It's a shame Montreal doesn't have any highly rated RD. Funny reading some of the stuff on the man page, thought we were bad over here sometimes.
