36 is right with Vegas having strong interest.

Krebs has been the hold up in a Vegas deal.

go (frank)ing cry some more, McCrimmon.

What I want: Lindholm, Mangiapane, Zary
What they want: Zary, 1st, Dube, Kylington
What it probably is: Zary, 1st, Pelletier, Backlund, Lucic

Why would Calgary offer Zary, a 1st, and Dube for Eichel right now?

If they offered that, wouldn't Adams have already taken that considering the condition Eichel is and has been in?

I’m sure Krebs’ 4 point night is not helping the cause

Might have PTSD from trading Suzuki for Pacioretty

The problem is that Vegas' windows is wide freaking open and even if Krebs is *good* right now they need a legit 1C to get over the hump (Colorado).

- More concerned about keeping Lehner vs Fluery

- Moving on too early from Galant

- McCrimmon threw loooose tools into the gears of the winning machine McPhee built

-MTL exposed how weak their offense is, being led by the wing

Vegas should very much still be in play and only becoming a stronger player as their play continues to expose poor center depth

Vegas and Buffalo have been perfect trade partners for the last 5 months.

No, I don't think he would. You heard the whiny GMs. The cost is "astronomical". Zary, 1st and Dube is hardly that.

more like men's bathhouse water. not that there's anything wrong with that.

I hardly think he's the 1C this year to get them over said hump.

"With that in mind, I decided to thumb through the concise and extremely entertaining Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL and NHLPA to see if I could come up with any answers to that question.

Boy was that fun."

This was hilarious to me, I don't know why. ^^

Stop lying on this board, we all know you're a porridge typa guy. I screenshotted it eight blogs ago. I'm not a lawyer either, but I think we can stone you for this.

What has happened, so far, that would indicate any team is even giving as much as Zary, a 22 1st, and Dube?

If you were an opposing team, why would you offer that much for Eichel with his current medical condition?

He could be ready in time for playoffs still

At this point, if I was a GM, I would be out on Eichel completely until post op. I think a few fall in this boat.

His 4 point game last night won't make Vegas budge on him any easier

I think they all would and do right now, which is why sharing Eichel's medical records makes a ton of sense.

Because you're under the impression that he will come out on the other side as Jack Eichel. Every one of these teams that are offering trades for him are giving him the surgery he wants. That recovery time is around 2 months. If I'm a franchise looking to turn over a few pieces and to get a franchise center, I have no (frank)ing problem trading a couple futures and a guy.

It does, my issue is that it's a moot point. What, they're going to see how the ankle recoveries went? They can see the issue, ADR isn't a secret so we know that. It's really the results of the surgery that count.

I never actually believe anything Dregs says. But here it is anyway.

Sources say the Eichel saga may be shifting. Ongoing discussions and additional access to Jack Eichel's medical file has helped teams with trade interest clearly see his situation. Both sides are hopeful something can be worked out soon with one of the clubs in the mix.
- TheSabresTaco

Absolutely stunned by this news.

SAbres willing to share information and the conversation starts to move.

how fascinating.

Absolutely. I don't think Kelly McCrimmon, Brad Treliving and Bill Guerin do, however.

I believe they waited this long because the medical situation was too fluid. Sure I guess they could have shared stuff before, but it was always changing and that doesn't really help anyone. If these opposing GMs were left guessing whether he needed surgery or not, like, why the (frank) would you make a trade at that point.

The bold feels like a massive assumption, and really, like a wild guess.

Really to the bold? Then why hasn't a trade happened yet? Because Adams is still looking for a delusional return?

They aren't going to trade for him just to continue the argument on what surgery is better for him.

Replacement is the way to go %100.
