Would it surprise you, G1000, if he stayed in Buffalo at this point? At least short term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/ at 7:23 mark. Chris Johnston says Eichel gave an interview saying he always dreamed of being a Bruin. Don't think that means a whole hell of a lot but just throwing it out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I mean, he was born in Massachusetts, grew up a Bruins fan, and went to BU. It's not a stretch to think he'd love to be a Bruin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I think there’s no chance he’s in Buffalo this season. Too much bad blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 My pop has a fusion and he can barely turn his neck 90 degrees. Hope he doesn't have to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 If the Rangers are serious about getting Eichel what about a three way trade with Minnesota To Rangers: Eichel Greenway To Minnesota: Zibanjad To Buffalo: Buch Erikkson Ek #22 overall from Minn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Zibanejad waiving? Erikkson Ek isn’t moving. Other adds needed I’ve suggested something similar with Zibanejad going to Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Zibanejad waiving? Erikkson Ek isn’t moving. Other adds needed I’ve suggested something similar with Zibanejad going to Vegas. I wasn't aware on Mika's NMC but his buddy Zucc is there and I'm sure they would offer him a big contract. I'm also sure the trade wouldn't be made unless he agreed to a new contract anyway. Of course some tweaks maybe needed but for basis of a trade I think all teams get what they want. You don't think Minnesota would move Errikson EK for a number 1 center? They are supposedly in on the Eichel talks. Just curious to what a Minnesota offer looks like. which established youth would Buffalo want from them? Fiala is the only other one that makes sense. Yes they have Boldy, Addison, and Rossi as top prospects but their first is #22 which isn't great. Josh just for shits and giggles what do you think Minnesota would have to give for Eichel in comparison to what the Rangers would offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minn essentially is screwed with $13mil in cap hits from 2 players they dont even have coming next year there is literally no path for them to obtain eichel unless Zucc goes.

Huh? They have $26M in cap space as of today. They need to sign Kaspirov and Fiala but after that I would think that would leave them plenty of money for Eichel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say go right ahead and do it Guerin doom that franchise to the depths of the Sabres. You do realize both Parise & Suter will be costing them $6.3mil next year and $7.3mil the year after that EACH.

I do realize that. They can easily fit him under the cap this season. That was my point. They are reported to be interested in trading for a number 1 center, namely Eichel. I could carless what they do, just reading the reports saying they are now a player in the Eichel market. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl-rumours-minnesota-wild-jack-eichel-1.1667647 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say go right ahead and do it Guerin doom that franchise to the depths of the Sabres. You do realize both Parise & Suter will be costing them $6.3mil next year and $7.3mil the year after that EACH. Nah. Minny could make this work. Their center depth would be Eichel, ErikssonEk, ELC (Rossi/Boldy), 4c for at least the next 3 years. They have a couple of rough contracts (Rask and Talbot, namely, pending the expansion draft) coming off the books when those buyout hits get big. They have a ton of cap space for this offseason and for next; the only catch is that the space they use this season is almost entirely the space they use next. They could easily do 9 for Kaprizov, 10 for Eichel, include Fiala in the Eichel deal, get a year ahead of Greenway and Kakhonen and extend them now, and probably still have 3 million left this season to get a veteran D to partner with Addison without creating any serious cap problems until 2025 - just in time for those buyouts to completely disappear.

Lord Al Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Replying to @WGR550 Friedman - From my understanding, Eichel has started skating again. Teams will make an attempt at acquiring Eichel. I would be very surprised if Eichel was still with the #Sabres at the start of next season. #LetsGoBuffalo.

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Can't get my twitter to load to get the link, but Brooks just tweeted that nothing is close because we haven't even been granted access to Eichel's medical records yet. You can forget about a trade happening if that's the case. It would have to happen before the draft and there's now we our docs could comb through it in time. Good riddance.

siddious Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Are they being shady and just not releasing them?because that’s suspicious and I would walk away. Or is this one of those things where they only release them right before a trade happens? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
