sharks would say yes except Couture might Veto this! even though he loves the Bills.

Couture might waive if we flip him, but im certainly not retaining one red cent for 6 years.

one main issue with your logic Bufffalo won’t allow the surgery because they don’t want Eichel to get the surgery he wants. so there will be no surgery until he is traded.

He wont waive for Buffalo first of all. Not really a point in including him here

Sure he will. Buffalo will compete again before SJ

Thats an interesting take, dont think its happening in the next 3-4 years which is when Couture will be effective.

Although they are doing much better in losing guys for decent returns instead of for free now!

Obviously, we dont want him and he doesnt want us. That was the point of flipping him.

I dont think hes going to agree in the first place. Sabres said they only want futures anyways

Couture is significant negative value tho 😐

- 32 years old

- Hasn't been above 0.8 pts/g in years

- Doesn't drive play at all

- Fringe selke votes at best

- 8M$ yearly until age 37

Bordeleau is the beginning of the cost to unload him and maybe adding that 2nd is enough but maybe not... it's worse than the Duchene/RJo contracts

Uh.

Paying for Jon Quick tho?

I repeat paying for Jon Quick 😳

5.8M$ for basically the worst goalie in the NHL rn

Name me a goalie with a worse sv% lately I'll wait

First off Couture isn't waiving for Buffalo, And secondly Couture is too old to be included in an Eichel trade. Sharks are heading towards a rebuild here shortly. Eichel makes absolutely zero sense.
