The Flames happily accept

These poor Sabres fans are going to be real upset when/if Eichel is traded and they don't get 2 to 3 top-6 F/top-4 D caliber players and a couple firsts like they think they will. Chairelli is no longer a GM and Benning fortunately doesn't have the need or cap space.

That’s a gross overpayment by minn A selke finalist, top 6 w and a 3rd pair D with 2 1sts. Take ek out for sure and add rossi and it’s closer. But Ek is definitely a non starter.

Just please stop dude, you are making bad proposal from Minnesota wild

Joel Eriksson Ek is untouchable and going nowhere

Jordan greenway would be replaced with fiala just because of cap. Fiala is young also & better, & wild would give up even less

But yeah eichel isn't worth the definition of six 1st round pick

Under no circumstances are wild trading Joel Eriksson Ek In an eichel deal

joImagi

Imagine rather keeping Eriksson Ek rather than Eichel. Dudes career high is 30 points this year (yes i know its a shortened season but still). thats a joke

According to a buffalo fan, who doesn't know Jack squat about Joel Eriksson Ek

Imagine thinking wild are going to trade a selke award player, & a stud young 2 way c with 12 goals in the 3rd period including yesterday game winning goal vs. Vegas

Yop, Joel Eriksson Ek is untouchable. Get over yourself. That you don't watch wild, or know nothing about his game is an embarrassment


Your comment is laughable and comical.

Guess what I am not only wild fan saying he's not going anywhere. Wild management also isn't trading him

The same eichel who wants out from buffalo? The same eichel who before his injury had 2 goals in 27 games

Same eichel who last year suckered punch Joel Eriksson Ek because Ek was playing defense on him, & cost buffalo 4 min , & it should have been more?

Same eichel who has a serious neck injury, needs surgery, hasn't had it. & no one knows how he's going to recover

Same eichel whose an injury risk? Has had multiple injuries which he's missed significant times for?

Alright I get Minny is pretty high at the moment on EK and Greenway - now let's look at both these players compared to Eichel - they are all about the same age, Eichel is and will be significantly better than both the players put together for the next 4 years , both EK and Greenway are middle 6 players (who for this 1 shortened season) have played above their pay grade.

Is it likely that EK and Greenway are perennial 90 - 110pt players? I say not likely more likely perennial 40-60 pt players

I agree with you, I don't get why Minny fans don't wanna trade Ek and Greenway for Eichel when hes wayyyyy better than both of them, But i do understand how people might be concerned about his injury and won't want to risk it

It's as simple as "what have you done for me this week" EK and Greenway both had breakout seasons and both are looking good in the 1 game of playoffs at this time. Any Minny fan has the right to be like "Hey not those guys, we really really like those guys right now"

But let's be for real here, Eichel is way better than Ek and Greenway will most likely ever be granted his injury doesn't ruin his career, And I guess I understand why Minny fans like Ek and Greenway but come on now, We're talking about Eichel here, Someone who is on a whole other level than Ek and Greenway

Any concern of his injury is just fodder and BS any GM would use to lower the price, realistically if Adams came out and said we're moving Jack send your offers the Vultures will come out but the deal will end a bidding war between about 3 or 4 Teams - I see Minny, Rangers, Bruins and Columbus all throwing offers back and forth at Buffalo and then Vegas will land him somehow in some weird way

If LA is truly interested in Eichel I see them landing him because they have so much assets they can afford to trade away

It's not only wild fans. Joel Eriksson Ek going back to last year when he wasn't that great was untouchable

The goal is to add to wild c core , not trade

Joel Eriksson Ek is a top 5, top 10 two way c in this game. So yeah, wild aren't trading a young stud 2 way c like him whose had a breakout for 2 years straight

Doesn't really matter that / what you think Joel Eriksson Ek could become. Points is not everything when looking at at player

If you are going to look at points then according to you Jonas Brodin should be put in eichel trade. Jared spurgeon should be put in eichel trade

According to you , points means Marcus foligno sucks

So again, hockey is more than points

Joel Eriksson Ek, Marco rossi, Jordan greenway, & Matt boldy alone will have more points combined

Agreed, at this point Eichel is not at a McDavid level (not even close) not really at a Matthews level (hasn't won or done anything of note) he's kind of an inbetween elite and a really really good 1 C , his value is tough to gauge and is lower due to he's completely disgruntled, he's kind of a whiner, if he's considered a franchise player he's done nothing for the franchise

Maybe because points is not everything

Joel Eriksson Ek is a complete stud
Jonas Brodin is a complete stud

You know why people who don't watch them say this because they think points are everything when it's not to a player, & it's not

Minnesota players like Joel Eriksson Ek, Jared spurgeon , Jonas Brodin, nico sturm, Cam Talbot are why vegas couldn't score yesterday

Yes, not everything has to do with scoring

If you want to put it vfc this way, with the legend that Connor McDavid is becoming,,& how great he's been, his team making playoffs have been very very rare, & they haven't had much success in playoffs

They do,but if I'm Buffalo do I really want undeveloped already drafted players and picks? I mean I have 0 development staff, 0 scouts , I'm a pretty base organization , I'm basically chucking things at a wall and hoping they stick

What exactly are you going in n about?
No mention of Brodin at all in the thread
McDavid? That's whole other world bud (kid is a beast and no one can touch him) the team surrounding him is a hot mess the Oil are an injury to McDavid away from being Buffalo

I get it I get it, you'd rather have EK than a true 1 C the entire fan base has been pining for for over a decade

This is blatantly false argument because you don't want to argue other facts I stated

No matter what you think points aren't everything

Kaprizov got 53 points with rask

A marginal c will help get him more

Dude, just because you can't understand or reason what I am saying, other wild fans are saying about Eriksson Ek not being available, read the article that states Joel Eriksson Ek. & kaprizov are going nowhere/ untouchable

I mentioned Brodin because of arguments that wild need eichel for goals, & assists

Again, points/ goals aren't everything

The values Joel Eriksson Ek brings to wild is one buffalo fans or NHL fans who don't watch wild don't seem to understand ; care to understand

Casual arguments are mad about Joel Eriksson Ek that are very good reminder that people who bring up him having 30 points don't understand Joel Eriksson Ek is one of the top 2 way c's in the NHL for several years now

So spare me with the lazy argument/ false equivalent
