Eichel is probably more disappointed in olofsson and his 18 points over skinner and his 2 points.

No, he's got be wondering why put my 40g winger on the 4th line you dunce...why saddle me on 5v5 with a guy who gets 80% of his Points on the PP ...most of which are wide open net feeds from me and Dahlin. That putz owes me about $2.5m of his salary.

If Eichel was injured from the start why was he playing. Could cost the season

So would anyone do this
Calgary- Eichel
Buff- Rasmus Anderson, Monahan, Ruzicka, Pelletier, 2021 1st and 3rd

- Buff36

Yeah a guy is talking about this on Garth's blog, had him change Zary to Ruzicka. Not a bad trade actually if it came down to trading Eichel.

Who knows.

Call me crazy but I’d try to keep Eichel, Reinhart, Hall, Cozens, and Skinner (purely out of necessity at this point as nobody is taking that contract).

Swap out the coach and fix the bottom 6 and I think we would be fine.

The d-corps concerns me though for next year.

- Pegullaville


They have to make Okposo disappear to make that more palatable. I'm a big Reinhart fan but this TDL is kind of poop or get off the pot time with Reinhart. Paying him north of $7 long term would be tough.

I think they could get a 1st and an A+ prospect at the TDL

No! Figure out one with a Tkachuk.

I still say jack to Ottawa for a Tkachuk

Another package to Calgary for other Tkachuk

Dueling Tkachuk!!!

There is some good young talent there in Anderson, Ruzicka and Pelletier, but nothing that can give us a solid 1C back. Monahan's not it.
Gotta get that back in some form, this trade doesn't do it for me.
LA, Ana, Ott can provide that back.

I think you wait to the iff season for trades of most top 6, unless they will be a UFA and leaving.

They are really at that point with Risto too. There's just so many contracts to handle, and a new GM who has made some strange decisions handling them.

The Sabres should have signed Reinhart longterm 2 contracts ago, but we are where we are now and $7+ for 7 or 8 is tough

Maybe.
I don't see Cozens as a viable 1C, he tops out as a reliable 2C for me.

Ruzicka is lighting it TF up in the AHL this year.

This trade proposal would really make me think hard about it.

Could we have a normal conversation? Decent troll job. It's really not your game.

I agree with your Hall contract offer.

I'm suprised so many people want him back at all? I'm pretty unimpressed. I'm guessing he has very little leadership, considering our 31st place finish and career full of losing.

I guess if you blame everything on the coach, then we should give hall top $.

Not at all, and I really like him...called all year for Sabres to draft him that year.
2C, and good at it, but lacks the "it" that Jack has.
So if you have one that has "it", don't get rid of him unless you have high probability it is coming back.

Swap Monahan for a younger piece
If we can’t win with Eichel, we aren’t gonna with Monahan

Swap 2021 1st with a 2022 1st, it’s a much better draft

I was fine with the first bridge, but now Sam has the upper hand. Shouldn't have come to that.

I'm with you, Boss. Hall is going to get cash on name recognition alone. I certainly would not pay him anywhere near $8m

Cozensons, mirror image career.

Hopefully he scores as many even strength points as girgensons.
