Uhhhhhhh… hi Eli, I’m Dad?

Buffalo doesnt have interest in Mantha and certainly arent trading Peterka for him, why you do this

I don’t think it’s a good idea for the Sabres to trade way their best forward prospect.

Vegas definitely wont include Stephenson in a trade, that would leave them with Patrick and Roy as their top 6 centers for at least 2 months

Doesn't help Vegas at all. Trading three regulars (and more) for an injured Eichel makes Vegas worse this year.

What the press says is that Buffalo has shared medical information about Eichel with other teams and that Vegas is among the teams still making offers.



Patrick, Roy? That has a nice ring to it. But if they don't have any prospects, they can trade a 7th for Boyd and maybe a 4th for Brown to stumble through until their guys come back off LTIR. This seems like an easier discussion to have on the Vegas side.

Mantha is a 6'5" power forward who led Detroit in points through the trade deadline. If you make a fair offer on him, you can be rid of Eichel while only eating $7.5M of retentions and Kempny, instead of the $10M copay on his contract's insurance. So making any fair offer on Mantha saves Buffalo $2.5M cash, and lets them be rid of Eichel sooner, and focus on this awesome winning season they're having. If they trade Hagg soon, and bring up Kempny, they might even be able to trade Kempny while still competing this year, but Kempny's $1M salary is hardly the issue.

You wouldn't have gotten Mantha at last year's deadline for Peterka and a 3rd. He cost Vrana and a 1st. And then Vrana scored a point a game the rest of the year, like all the Caps fans said he would on any team with a 1L spot for him. Peterka isn't Buffalo's best forward prospect. Peterka isn't even Rochester's best RW. Quinn is. Sometimes I think people argue just to argue, on here.

If they wanted cash, Terry would just dig another oil well

You know that pun wasn't even intended but im glad it was there

Okay. You win. Take out Kempny.
