Mantha Tuch Brisson Elvenes

Breakdown for Sabres: Peterka, 3rd, and just under $8M for Mantha, a big power forward who led the Wings in goals and points up to the trade deadline. Then Eichel for Tuch and prospects.

Breakdown for WSH: two 2nd line wings and some future stuff for a bigger, better 1st line wing. Get their old 3LW back.

Breakdown for Vegas: Eichel, under the cap, without giving up Krebs or a 1st.

Yeah nice try thinking you can sneak Peterka in there, Adams faces times you so you can see him and the entire office sincerely laughing at that offer, Also dont know why Buffalo is paying for Allen, when Anderson has been great for them

come on.....Hague, Brisson,Tuch,Whitecloud, Elvenes, Dadonov Smith, Pachal, Stephenson

who tf is playing for us? this is ridiculous lol

This feels a little cluttered, but in a well-thought-out sort of way, if you get what I mean.

Gonna wrap my head around it for a moment here-

BUF Receives:
Mantha
Kempny
Hague
Brisson
Tuch
Whitecloud
Elvenes

BUF Gives Up:
Eichel
Caggiula
Peterka
3rd Round Pick
$5mil of retention

VGK Receives:
Eichel
Hagelin
Caggiula

VGK Gives Up:
Dadonov
Smith
Pachal
Stephenson
Hague
Brisson
Tuch
Whitecloud
2nd Round Pick

The Washington part is pretty well encapsulated inside that one trade box, so not gonna chronicle it here.

Overall, I like the return for Buffalo and Washington, but I feel like Vegas are the losers here. A lot of players lost in this trade, and while Hagelin and Caggiula can help to pick up the slack on the lost depth, it still puts the Knights in a bad position, at least until Eichel gets back from injury. If they do or don’t win the cup by 2023 in this universe, this trade would be the reason why, depending on whether Eichel pans out for them and how the players they traded away end up doing. That being said, Vegas is the kind of team that would definitely do this trade, so I see this as a pretty realistic offer despite how complex it is. Buffalo would have to want to compete though, if they’re planning on tanking this isn’t the way to do it.

Pacchioretti, Eichel, Stone
Marchesault, Karlsson, Patrick

But seriously, read the description. The Vegas side is posted here:

Or wait. It's here: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2880724

And at the bottom of that, I just commented a suggestion to trade a 1st to Ari for Boyd and a max retained Kessel, then to trade a 4th to STL for a 4th, and I typed lines in that comment. Same term left on Kessell as Reilly, but I think Kessell is off to a better start, and probably did better last year, on a worse team? By not trading their first in the Eichel deal, Vegas can still make other moves to get to the playoffs, while adding a franchise center. By not trading Krebs, they can develop Krebs, Patrick, and Roy at center while waiting for Eichel.
