Flames accept IMO.

Would you prefer pick 12 this year from Calgary?

I had a similar idea for a 3 way but involving Ottawa instead of CBJ, they are rumored to be looking for a top 6 veteran center.

Even Adams would be shocked. At least make Eichel take a physical. That's a lot to give up for a guy that may not be able to pass one....

I think a lot of Eichel deals rely heavily on his health. If he doesn't play next season then no way the Sabres are getting close to the 4 1st rnders they seem to be asking for.

If you’re dumping Miller you’re not getting a second, maybe a fourth.

I think Adams has handled the trading of Eichel well, before he releases any medical records he probably wants the trade in place...why release the records to every team just bc they inquired plus all it takes is one team to say something not true and the value goes down.
Any trade of Eichel won't be turned in without him passing a physical, that's a normal requirement in any trade.

I dont know if that is necessarily true. Doing so slows down the process which delays the surgery and recovery time that he will need. The longer you wait the less you are going to get for the player. Its already bad enough that he has publicly stated that he wants out. On top of that the asking price is so ridiculously high right now. If anything I think Adams has done a poor job.

Correction, he has never publicly said he wants out...in that exit interview he has said that he and the Sabres disagree on the procedure he wants done on his neck and never once in that zoom interview did he say he wants out and he was asked that point blank. Can we assume he wants out, yes but since that exit interview all has been silent. As for the asking price you set the price high and come down when you get what you really want...it's called bargaining. Why in the world would you start out low, makes no sense. BTW here's the interview https://www.nhl.com/video/jack-eichel-51021/t-277350912/c-8317527

U are a being a little bit nitpicky. Everyone knows hes asked to be traded or else he would never be traded. Very few players would say that straight up because they dont want to be hated by the fan base. Nonetheless you missed the point of what I was saying which is regarding the timeline and his health. By delaying a trade and asking so much for him now, which I get is bargaining, you are also delaying the eventual surgery and recovery time that he needs. As its a fairly major surgery it is fair to assume he will need several months of recovery time, which will be factored into the price teams are willing to pay for him. I never said you should start low, but the current asking price is stupid high especially for an injured player who may not be available next season. I get you are a Sabres fan, but ur GM isnt good and Im surprised you are defending him.

The GM is also getting help from Karmonos, 4 firsts can be anything, what's so big if a guy is drafted 29-30, technically he is a first or a small step above a high second...never was anything said that 4 firsts had to be top 10's. There will be 1 first in this draft, preferably top 10, a good roster player under 25 or prospect ready to make the jump to the NHL and another prospect plus a cap dump. Example...if Glass were part of a trade, he was a first rounder big deal like Mittelstadt still hasn't developed and no signs he will. It's not like it is 4 #1's for the next 4 yrs. It's more about quality over quantity.

There's nothing saying he has to have surgery, it was ONE doctor that advised it and Jack went with that...he's had more than just one opinion and just one doctor advised it. My bet is come opening day he is in the starting line-up where ever he's traded to. Adam's has a plan and he is sticking to his guns, worked with Sakic in regards to Duchene. Remember Eichel can want out all he wants but he has 5 yrs of term left so he doesn't have to be traded that's where the owners failed with ROR, they wanted him gone b4 that 7.5mil bonus was paid and Botterill's back was against the wall.

Now tell me why Adams isn't good...he was a rookie GM last year he was going to make some mistakes but I'm interested in your take but if you go with the Hall trade you will lose on that
