I mean the value is there, but I feel like people will still hate on it.

I actually love the idea of Brown to New York. Seems like a perfect fit. But it's not realistic or close for Eichel. Any deal for him starts with Lafreniere. At bare minimum it might start around Kakko, not likely but possibly. But not having either one of those in the deal is an instant no from Buffalo. If you were a Sabres fan, there's no chance you'd take this deal.

Dustin Brown won't be traded. Apparently the Kings are even planning on protecting him in the expansion draft. He's going to retire in LA and will likely sign a new contract with the Kings when his current one expires.

How is the value there for the sabres. We have 4 players who can be buchnevic in the top 6 we have Dahlin and depth on the left side and Chytils a 3C....and late firsts

Guess that’s a good thing Nils is a RHD...

Still means nothing, he doesn't have value. Switch him with Fox and maybe add more and the sabres might look at it lol

I wouldn’t trade Fox for Eichel tbh. If I’m Drury I walk away and don’t look back.

Lol Nile doesn’t have value? That’s laughable. That’s a blue chip d prospect.

Buffalo fans are dilutional they won’t ever be happy, so if he becomes available and the rangers want to trade for him it’s likely without kakko (maybe maybe if that was last case scenario they put him in the deal). Your looking at offer being kravtsov, chytil, Georgiev, jones, a first and maybe Deangelo and a later pick added for cap reasons. There simply just not gonna get value they want for him. Sabres fans just don’t get that the offer above is essentially 4 firsts worth of value (maybe add another pick in) but that’s all they’ll get no team is giving up the laf, byfield or zegras type prospect no matter what.

Sure but not in an Eichel trade, sabres don't want prospects they want young nhlers

Except you don't know what it's like to trade good players lol. No one of Eichels value has been traded in a long time.

I think you are way overvaluing Eichel honestly. Yes, he’s considered a top young player and is paid as such (problem for the Sabres in trade value), but he’s definitely not a major value on the intangibles side and I’d be wary making him the centerpiece of your franchise, which is the value return you are expecting.

The Sabres have never had a winning season in his 5 years with the team and his line mates seem to regress playing with him instead of him elevating guys. He also isn’t known for doing the gritty little things on the boards and defensively to make plays, which when you combine the above to me suggests he’s not a leader and is perhaps just a skill guy. Then take into account that he’s not even a point per game player and I really start to question his value. Perhaps you can take a risk by thinking his talent is being hindered by the Sabres organization, but he was also like this at BU on loaded teams that came up short when the chips were down. Some team might take that risk still and the 10 million salary, but the big whopper is that he also has major durability concerns as well and wants out of the organization so that is going to limit his value to everyone but Sabres fans.

Lucky for you the Rangers are stupid enough to still trade for him and overpay because of james Dolan and maybe Drury/Quinn BU connections , but outside of maybe swapping Kratsov for buchnevich this is the best deal you will probably get in terms of multiple assets, unless you want to start taking about Zib with one to two more assets included and I doubt the Rangers go that direction.

He’s a the best player your organization has seen in a while and I get the attachment and frustration, but he’s definitely not on a level of McDavid, McKinnon, Mathews, Young Crosby, or even Barkov or you wouldn’t be in this place even with ****ty management. You could also validly argue that Gretzky didn’t fetch this big of a return when he was traded to the Kings since McSorely was also involved, but I agree that it’s not an apples to apples comparison.

Yet your team is still crap. My team isn’t great but at least we’re competitive and have been since our rebuild started. The Sabres are the laughing stock of the NHL. If you’ve got all the pieces set up in your organization already than why does your team suck?

That’s bc when they do they don’t get the same value back ... common man I get u love eichel and u want the world for him but no team is doing what ur saying that’s what u trade for a Gretzky and mcdavid type player

The Rangers fans need to stop it with the whole "Eichel isn't worth a lot" gambit and keep offering us secondary pieces.

Don't forget, the Sabres have to market this trade to their fans as well and with the ROR deal still lingering I just cannot imagine them trading Eichel for anything less than a King's Ransom and then some.
