Sabres have no interest in Kuznetsov and a 30 year old.

Disgusting

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm no

Wow the ask has really fallen off eh?

Caps say yes. Sabres aren't that dumb.

Caps are basically running it back. Didn't quite see that, but the cap has them basically not able to makes any moves. Looks like the Caps will barely be a playoff team this year.

Look, I get it, BUF would be nuts to take a one for one Kuzy for Eichel. That's not what this trade is. It's essentially Kuzy to replace Eichel today (so you're not fielding a top line center that would be a third line center on every other team) with future assets to rebuild through the draft (1st and 2nd round picks). The 3rd rounder is essentially to take Jensen off the books. You could argue that the package needs to be stronger with another pick, but let's face it - now that every team has already completed their Free Agent spending spree and the NHL is under a flat CAP, Buffalo's leverage (and with it their options) are getting slimmer.

Don't get me wrong, the CAPS probably don't get Eichel, but someone is going to get him and it's going to look like a steal. Sorry BUF fans. Trying to extort a big return for a discruntled star player demanding a trade during a flat CAP year and waiting until after all of the NHL has already blown their wads in FA isn't a great idea. Honestly, NYR probably end up with Eichel for what will look like highway robbery
