you think noah Hanifin has the same exact value as Johnny?

Lucic doesn't have that Value.

He's a 24 year old d-man making 4,950,000 for 4 years including this year. Where as Johnny is a 27 year old left wing who can't perform in the playoffs making 6,750,000 for 2 years including this one.

If his value is lower, than Skinners should be as well.

If the Sabres trade Eichel, it’s not anything close to this. Calgary doesn’t have the pieces the Sabres would want. It’ll most likely be the start of another rebuild, so top young players would be coming back for sure. Calgary has nice pieces, just not the right pieces.

Why would Buffalo want to do another complete tear down when they have pieces like dahlin, jokiharjhu, cozens, mittelstadt, olofsson, quinn, Luukkonen. Surround them with some more players with experience/skill rather than just one very skilled

Buffalo easily decline

Better question. How does that package make the Sabres better now and in the future? If he gets traded, AT LEAST 1 piece coming back will be a young stud. Like Byfield or Lefraniere. Personally, I’d rather have the center. Calgary just can’t match that.

Because most of them are not ready yet, we do not have to make a rebuild, but if we are trading Eichel, then it must either be a very good futures package or young players no older than 23-24 with a term. Gaudreau not suitable for us because of age and term, also I'm sure Skinner won't go anywhere.

Also, I didn’t say a complete tear down. I think they’ll keep some pieces. I believe they like Hall and it sounds like they’re trying to extend him. I’m sure they try to bring Staal back again. It’s a rebuild, but I wouldn’t say a complete tear down.

I see them getting better in the now and future by shedding large contracts for future signings of their young studs. And can easily move out these Calgary pieces if they don't fit/ match time frame to win for young assets or picks. I understand them wanting Byfield, Lafreniere or a similar very high-potential player, but I don't see a team in the West with enough elite pieces in a win now mode or cap space (LA - Byfield/Turcotte, ANA - Zegras/Drysdale, COL - Byram/Newhook) Maybe MIN with Rossi/Kaprizov? NYR would be the team with the best assets I'd think, but idk if both teams would be willing to trade elite players in the same conference

Phil Connors laying down the truth.

Deal starts with Tkachuk

Lindholm, Pellitier, Valimaki would start the convo

Regardless of what you believe, It’s not even close to what they want. The Rangers already made a huge offer in the offseason. Jack will go for a haul. I mean, look at what Columbus got for Dubois. Eichel will most definitely bring a lot in return.

The trade will hurt both sides. Buffalo fans will be upset Jack was traded and the other fans will be upset that they gave up so much. Guaranteed
