Sabres decline

Interesting

Eichel deal is not even close especially for retaining 3 mil

You be better adding a cap dump at removing the retaining. If it a health concern the make the picks conditional

Any Eichel trade has to have a young proven NHL center coming back the other way.

Starts with JEE, but it appears the wild don’t want to move him, so Eichel to MIN doesn’t make sense.

I get where you’re coming from, but that’s a weird stipulation to be so rigid on when there are very few teams still considered in on Eichel. BUF is not gonna get what they want, if that’s the prevailing attitude.

If you don’t get what you want, don’t trade him and dare him to sit out and miss out on his money. Simple as that.

I think you’re missing the point. There will be good offers on the table, but if you auto dismiss anything that doesn’t contain a young proven center, you’re being unnecessarily picky and potentially inviting a major headache situation to continue. BUF isn’t going to suddenly be competitive by getting a young center back. Get a good fair market package and move the heck on.

The best package includes a young proven NHL center. That’s my point.

No where near enough for Eichel

Not necessarily true. Not at all. How are you not understanding that it’s possible to have a better, higher value package that doesn’t include a young proven center? You’re not being objective about things.

As soon as you trade Eichel/Reinhart that creates a gigantic org hole at center, so you need assets to fill that

That’s not what is being argued. You have suggested multiple times that the best package includes a young nhl center. Which is not necessarily true. You may prefer that, but that doesn’t mean it’s objectively the highest value package. Just think about it for a second before auto defending your point.

“The best package” has to include consideration for position. It’s called the law of diminishing returns.

If you have 4 great Dmen, and a weak top6, and you are offered a forward and a dman exactly the same effectiveness, you take the forward. Trust me I’m thinking about this you pigeon lmao gtfoh

If hes a pigeon you’re a dump truck
