I've been playing with it for like 10 minutes and it's very complicated to make it work and make sense for all parties.

i think krebs, tuch and an unprotected 2022 1st is essential for buffalo...don't forget that jack will be on ltir so they'll be able to go over the cap by his $10m cap-hit

Boss usually has fun, creative trade ideas.

I'll give it a shot: For every season of the five remaining on Eichel's contract that Vegas makes the conference finals, they give the Sabres a 3rd round pick. If they make the cup finals, it's a 2nd round pick. If they win the cup, it's a 1st round pick.

Ok I did it. Buckle up.

Eakin, Peterka demoted, Ruotsalainen promoted (per CF).

BUFFALO RECEIVES:
Krebs, Røndbjerg, Elvenes, Tuch, Smith, McNabb

VEGAS RECEIVES:
Eichel, Hagg @ 50%, Thompson @ 50%, Florida's 2022 1st

The rostering, cap, uppers, lowers and reasonableness is all there. If you want to argue that they should get Samuelsson/Peterka, I'd listen.

you'd take the first out too I'd assume. That's a lot of real estate Vegas has to give up. I just don't think they do it without the pick.

If it's true San Jose has jumped in to the game only helps put a little more pressure on the field of suitors.

So if Eichel has his suggested surgery and goes on to have a great career, it looks bad on Buffalo right?

Thats another option that needs to be paid attention to.

we should just assume jack will have a great career and if he plays at the pace he did two seasons ago, a possible hall of famer

Sabres are over the cap floor by half a mil. Vegas is over the ceiling by 4M. Sabres getting 1 prospect for Eichel is a failure.

Sabres now have 25 players on their roster, 26 once Tuch is ready. You need more trades with this proposal.

I thought it, I didn't post it. But yeah. Buffalo looks like the d1ck. While I don't blame them for their position entirely, they are shaping up to be the d1ck.

Sabres are at 23 players without R2.

INTRIGUE.

we all gotta remember that if we're asking full value for jack, everyone's assuming that he will in fact have the career we all know he can have.

Which makes this entire scenario nauseating.

That would be a drop in the bucket as compared to some outcomes:

Jack gets fusion because he's in too much pain and can't bear it any longer. The surgery goes poorly and his career is done.

That's where the Sabres look very bad ^^

They like him for speed, hard to play against, PK. He fits the new Sabres mantra. Or, I guess, what they claim they want.

I want to hear a legitimate explanation from Adams why the medicals were not shared sooner. My guess is that they believed the situation was too fluid and didn't feel comfortable sharing them because details could change weekly. But that's my only defense of the action.

Patient confidentiality? I'm not sure if he can share until Jack gives the go ahead. Not sure there, but it seemed like after Fish started talking, Adams starting showing. Maybe I'm off chronologically there, just how it felt.

Im sorry but this is BS.

Eichels camp literally said they would do anything to facilitate a trade.

They are now going on their own to do their own medicals so they can share them.

This was after it was reported that the Sabres have released the medicals to the rest of the NHL.

Rhino could be right, and I think it's a more reasonable assessment/guess than completely assuming "BS". Until you know from the donkey's mouth, you don't actually know the situation. For all we know, they could have remained hidden until mutual agreement. Gotta remember, Adams is talking with his agents every single day. You'd think if they demanded the release months ago, perhaps they'd be released months ago.
