Saw something on twitter.

Leafs fans basically saying no chance toronto does this deal.

Eichel

Eichel doesn't "fit" what Toronto wants to do

I had a thought: if Krueger's salary evaporated after a firing instead of being guaranteed, he would definitely play Skinner with Eichel, right?

I mean this 3 year contract for $12m sets him and his kids up for life. I bet his decisions would be different if it weren't guaranteed. I wonder if he'd stick to his stupid skinner "principles." I bet not.

I think he's simply in too deep now

So I know an Eichel trade is not something on the horizon anytime soon, but the talk of if sure beats rehashing how bad they currently suck...

So, that in mind, what would you propose as a fair trade from a framework perspective, not specific players nor prospects, rather descriptors...

For me it would be close to:
-"A" Prospect at C, with high 1C potential w/in 2+/- years
-"A" Prospect at RW or D, projected as Top 6 or Top 4
-#1 Draft pick, unprotected in 2021
- 30sh yo Vet, Stop Gap potential 2C or 1RhD with 2-3 years remaining (not a real cap dump, but could absorb a contributor with a higher Cap hit)

Yours?

I’m not as specific... I’m bad at specifics. And I’m not going to be called upon to gm a team any time soon.

Here are my parameters as a starting point...

Byfield +

Both Tachucks, obviously in two separate deals. Jack gets Brady, something else get Matt

Ducks

NJ.

I will not trade jack in division, aside from Ottawa. I will not trade jack to Rangers.

Anyone one else interested is leveraged to drive the price up for the kings, ducks, Ottawa, or NJ...

Outside of that, he signed a contract and he can play it out or pout. Don’t care.

And I do NOTHING with jack or rw-signing hall for that matter, until Ralph is escorted from the premises and really hockey management is brought in.

they already had 2 offers, 1 from quebec


this is nothing more then trying to throw a few grenades to get more interest

Well wouldn't that be something if they buy the Sabres, run them into the ground, buy the Bills, bring them out of the sewer and make them look respectable for the first time in 25 years, sell the Sabres to a Quebec twat who moves them to fake France, cool.

And no stadium for the Bills, cheapskates, then watch them sell them to some schmuck Canadian who moves them to Toronto.

It would be amazing. The entire city would clog up the Niagara River at the Peace Bridge and cause mass-flooding, and Canada has the high ground, so you know what that means...

I have a question, because I honestly don’t know the answer. Does the NHL and teams of the NHL have to approve the move of a team?

If a new owner were to come in and even through the vetting and negation process, couldn’t the NHL say, the Sabres won’t be approved for relocation or won’t be considered for relocation until other teams that are not meeting attendance goals are met?

Why would the nhl want to spurn one of its strongest markets when you have teams like the panthers and ‘yotes that can’t sell out to save their lives?

Why would a move to Hamilton make sense? Would that not be pissing in the leafs backyard?

Wouldn’t the currency exchange from the US dollar to the Loony hurt the franchise?

I honestly don’t see the NHL allowing the Sabres to move.

But I’m certainly no expert, not a busy executive, I didn’t sleep at a holiday inn, and I’ve been waiting at the airport for Oli for, well, longer than I care to admit.

Jack and tage to LA for Byfield and one of Turcotte or Kupari

Jack and skinner to NJ for Hughes and Smith

Jack, Mitts, tage, laaksonen (sp) to ANH for Zegras and Drysdal

Jack and tage to Rangers for Lafreniere, Chytil and Zibanijad.

I’ll take any one of those. All lower our cap. Get us younger and deeper IMO for the long run.

Trade Sam and Montour to Calgary for Tkchuck

Hall for a 1st
Risto for a 1st


Don’t think Ottawa has any interest in veering from their plan. Young, good and cheap. So don’t see a trade there.
