inb4 "starts with zegras"

I can't see an Eichel trade to the Ducks without Zegras

The Sabres should be dumping their top 3 pick why add another, there is nothing here

I can. You think the Rangers would give up Laf? No neither do I. The same goes for the Ducks with Zegras and the Kings with Byfield.

This is quite underwhelming.

Lindholm only has 1 year left after this season. He most likely leaves in free agency.
Perreault is not an A prospect by any means.
Steel has not been good at all in the NHL. Hard to believe he becomes anything more than a good 3C.
The 3rd overall pick comes in a weak draft that doesn't have a consensus top 5.

I hate to be the guy that goes "StArTs WiTh ZeGrAs" but it's hard to imagine the Sabres accept any trade from Anaheim without him or Drysdale

I put Laf on a tier above both of those guys plus the Rangers have other prospects that are much better than the ones you've included. But I'd expect Byfield to be part of the deal for Eichel

Note from The Old Pettifogger: the one slot our draft pick CAN'T be is third overall, except in the unlikely event that we finish second and Seattle wins the first- or second-overall lottery.

Would you consider this?


- Jack Eichel
- Rasmus Ristolainen


- Hampus Lindholm
- Rickard Rakell
- Jacob Perreault
- 2021 1st round pick
- 2022 2nd round pick

Thats worse

You do realize if you have that high of a price for Eichel, nobody will want to trade for him and his career will continue to be ruined in Buffalo. Do you really want that? That package is literally great. Hell you take out Risto and id still do it

I believe you mean it starts with Zegras and Drysdale. It’s a heavy price to pay, but a top 10 center in the game is why you make that deal. There’s no guarantee that either of these players end up as good as Jack is capable of being right now. It’s one of the reasons why I don’t think he gets moved.

Yeah no it doesn’t. Eichel isn’t McDavid or MacKinnon. You’re sniffing glue if you think he’s worth that much

Thats the point

Starts with Zegras++. you're lowballing Buffalo with a bunch of refuse and acting like theyre supposed to just take it

And you’re acting like Jack Eichel is a generational talent. Yeah he’s really good and elite , but he’s not worth the best prospect in the league.

Yes he is, especially because the ducks have not much else to offer

He really isn’t. No team would give up the best prospect in the league

No, it's not Zegras AND Drysdale, it's one or the other.

Dont need Drysdale so thats fine

Then Sabres keep him, win win

Clearly you need something cause even Jack Eichel can’t carry you to playoffs 💀
