Would anyone be willing to do Berniers + Seattle 1st 2022 unprotected?

Doesn't seem like enough but if Sabres ended up with 2 of the 3 top picks next year it would get crazy.

Seattle isn’t doing that so it’s not even worth pondering

Ya you know, forums aren't' for hypotheticals and debates....I mean what are we even doing here?

Its not worth pondering but its worth spending your time to answer even though yes or no would have been less time consuming.

Isn't that SOP with them?

Hard to say with the departure of Hamilton but they have a pretty good d-corps I’d say.

F the Rags.

Will be hilarious to see rags react to Eichel being traded when they realize they didn't get him.

I think Anaheim and Minny can put together really good packages.

Doesnt make sense for Anaheim.

Minny or Vegas would be ideal - since it fits their timeline and what they are trying to do. NYR make sense too, however, I think they are a horrible trading partner.

That's a pretty ugly offer

Here’s a sneaky team - how about Ottawa? They need a 1c center and certainly have the picks and prospects to make it happen. They’re on the rise and would make sense for both teams, even if it’s not ideal they’re in our division

There still too low. Problem when trading an Eichel, the teams that will most likely finish low, and have a decent prospect pool, arent in a position to trade for an Eichel.

Minny is a little bit of an outlier, since they have 2 prospects that are close to blue chip, I dont think either Rossi or Boldy are a sure thing, but they are really high ceiling top end B rated prospects.

Both the Kings and the Ducks, have a couple, but they arent willing to part with them, and I dont think they should. They should be turning all attention to Minny, it makes sense, it will give them a huge jump in talent, and it will help them keep Kaprizov.

If that's the offers Adams is seeing, then he needs to hold tight.

You're kidding, right? They laugh at that. We can't get them to talk about Rossi. That's like asking for a $50 loan, being told no, and then asking for $100.

Can someone post a general timeline of this whole Eichel thing ? I keep reading crap in here like "he's never going to suit up for us again" and "He doesn't deserve to wear the jersey ever again". Really ? Why not ? I don't recall Jack saying anything disparaging towards the team. How has it gotten this far - where the fanbase is actively trying to run him out of town ? It'd be nice to see a general timeline of how it got this far. Again, maybe I just missed it, I don't see where he's said anything so awful that you're all throwing him under the bus. Personally, I can see him staying and maybe eventually leaving when his contract is up - that's it. And there would be nothing wrong with that. Locker room cancer ? Bullsh!t. There's no such thing - These guys are all professionals and want to continue to play hard keep getting paid and to eventually get a bigger payday (be it here or somewhere else). Nobody is going to suddenly suck because Jack is moody in the locker room. Young players won't be ruined by his mere presence on this team. That talk is just stupid.

If it makes the team better, Adams needs to wait for a huge offer - one that they can't refuse. Otherwise, keep him on the team and let him play out the contract. There is no rush to trade him ... he's under contract for a while - and that's just fine.

Can't have his bad attitude around the new core. Adams needs to hold tight. Things should have been kept in house by both sides. But things will come out when all is said and done.

Kaprizov would be a 1 for 1. And I dont like that, mainly because he is a real threat to go back to the K.

I disagree. First of all, I've seen no evidence of a bad attitude. Second, even if he did have a bad attitude, it wouldn't matter for the reasons I listed in my post. Professional athletes won't suddenly suck due to someones alleged bad attitude
