Stop sending player to montreal without taking contract. Make your homework, for a trade to work you need to make sure the other team have need and can afford it.

Buffalo is not taking that.

Making that offer will get you committed, because you’d have to be crazy to think Buffalo would take it. If you’re not giving up Stutzle it will still have to be something like this:

Pinto, White, 2 1st round picks

Make those picks conditional and protected and you have a deal.

I enjoyed the casual "if you're not giving up Stutzle" as if that was ever on the table.

By all mean ottawa can retain half the salary also I just wanted to represent that in this case he would be gone in this scenario I don't really care where he goes. Why must some people get so offended lol

It was reported today that Buffalo has reduced the asking price... alot of fans are going to be very disappointed in this eichel return.

That is one of the worst trades ive seen for Eichel. Like you went out of your way to avoid anything Buffalo would be interested in

That default defense "a LoT oF fAnS aRe GoInG tO bE dIsApPoInTeD" is not only played out, it also doesnt excuse borderline troll trades

I can't wait to see this trade haha maybe 8 teams in the league are even capable of making this trade.... and out of those 8 teams how many are willing to allow eichel get the surgery he desires... alot going against the sabres here...

Good energy here

Eichel's health situation is still pretty minor

Buf are just being dumb like Ottawa

Nothing to do with this thread but it's getting crazy. I got literally yelled at tonight because :

- I am double vaccinated and my "eyes aren't opened". I was not the one "fueling" the debate. That person just knew I was vaccinated, somehow trying to "wake me up"

- I disagreed with someone saying that all psychologists are only working for money and prestige. I tried to say that they are "here to help" but that didn't go through. he just got upset pretty quickly


The thing is there's part of the population that is clearly frustrated with the vaccine requirement if you want to continue to be part of society (passports), it's building up. Most of these people were already "anti-authority". This whole vaccine debate is just a pretext. They want to let it known that we are the ones who restrict their freedom... Frankly, people's emotional balance is fading away

I think the only protection you’ll get would be lottery protection. You can make a case those picks are the most valuable thing in the trade. Otherwise the Sabres are doing you a favor taking White off your hands, and it’s not fair to Pinto to expect him to replace Eichel by himself.
