Retaining salary should cost another Krebs or equal.

$30 seats. $1250 per seat x 2 seats = sit anywhere.

Bill's ticket $1,100

Went with my kid, was priceless.....

Also, not your money to spend☝️

- Boss34


You're absolutely right.

I also spend money on dumb poop, but I don't get my back up about it.

Friedman at the intermission says a major hurdle in an Eichel trade is that the Sabres are not willing to retain any salary, they are willing to take bad contracts on, but won't retain anything.

- GilPerreault11


The problem seems pretty obvious regarding the above and the cap.

Many of the teams that would love Eichel are both trying to win this season and are up against the cap.

They don't necessarily have let's say $8M-$10M in bad contracts to send back to the Sabres, as some of the $8M-$10M they would send back would be involving NHL players they would need to keep to still have a good chance at winning while Eichel is out for 3-4 months recovering from his surgery.

On top of the above, some of the bad contracts may have trade clauses that need to be waived, and it's likely not going to be easy to get those players to waive to come to Buffalo (Lucic from Calgary, for example).

It's why a trade during the season is so extremely difficult, as your vanishing at least one good player from a roster and Eichel, until Eichel returns from surgery.

Historically he consistently starts slow and heats up in December/January. No reason to think he wont produce at his normal pace.

And that is 1 of the reasons why the Sabres wasted his ELC by having him on the left instead of his off hand.

He can do that sleepwalking on the right against the best in the world.

The other move is in his own end where he cuts off hands and makes the stretch pass in 1 move

https://twitter.com/Pappa...6CC3PB9FDHojJyzbHAjw&s=19

He always played on the right here in Sweden when playing for Frölunda so it has been strange seeing him only playing left for the Sabres.

https://twitter.com/brand...Zxi-RTI9CBdbAbtH6Mfw&s=19

That’s the insane part. Scouts have been watching him crush it on his off hand since TV Pucken, yet the 1st thought was to try and undo years of training.

They did the same to Risto.

Sabres gonna Sabre.

Wouldn't be surprised if Power Dahlin are a pair by the end of the season.

#Avs are going with only 19 players tonight due to injuries, COVID-19, a suspension and cap constraints.
