Quoting: ON3M4N
Its not just the size of the list though, its also who can handle taking on his cap hit lol. If he's unhappy in Buffalo and wants out, why would you want that guy being the captain of your team and the "leader" of your locker room? Are you going to strip him of the "C" because that's not going to do anything but piss him off even more. Are you going to bench him? He won't do you much good sitting up in the press box.
No, it’s not who can take on the Cap hit
That’s just dumb
The Sabres can take salary back
Teams will be more than happy to rearrange their salary structure for a player of Eichel’s caliber
U wanna worry about what the list MIGHT look like in a few years? Fine, go ahead
As for all your other questions....
that’s all above my pay grade.
Too many ppl are acting like he’s already requested a trade outta here
I’ll worry about that WHEN- AND IF- it actually ever happens
And if it did....
I’m not worried 1 bit what we’d get back for him
It will be A TON
But hopefully we don’t even trade him
