True, but getting a cup now could completely cement themselves in Vegas and give them supremacy over the Raiders(Not like the second part really matters but fun bragging rights). so I can see exactly why they are doing this.

the only thing I can see is, as @sevenleg joked about, the offer being like

Tkachuk
Lewis
top 20 protected first
Poolman
Gawdin

So basically garbage and Tkachuk

I mean Robin Lehners nickname needs to be Hood

hes Panda though IRL

Peyton Krebs

call that Spongebob's Boss

I'm glad Eichel got the trade he wanted.

I'm just sure the casual Vegas fan in the T-Mobile Arena doesn't even know who Eichel is and is like "why are we even trading for an injured player".

Eichel would have been so loved and appreciated in Calgary.

But it's Robin Hood...

Adding to complication, believe this needs to be a dollar-in, dollar-out transaction for both teams: #VGK to add Eichel to roster before placing his $10 million on LTIR, #Sabres to stay above salary cap floor once subtracting Eichel's $10 million.

Sick piece of art work for Vegas fans

Smith? Whitecloud? Sabre will takem

I still can’t believe the senators selected Tyler Boucher over Cole Sillinger

The Pierre McGuire Effect (patent pending)

They have done a really great job of drafting and adding unsigned prospects tho, will they?
Zachary Dean
Brendan Brisson
Pavel Dorofeyev
Daniil Miromanov
Kaedan Korczak
Jack Dugan
Connor Corcoran
Ivan Morozov
Lukas Cormier
Daniil Chayka

Looks pretty good to me

Sillinger is a gritty player though - they pretty much selected a 3rd line grinder over a 1st line grinder. So stupid lol

This is 4D chess by Melnyk, Boucher isn't as good so he won't have to pay him as much. It's genius!

one of the worst picks in recent memory; when disregarding hindsight. that pick was atrocious.

like yeah Aho fell to 32 or whatever but Sillinger was good enough to go inside 10 and the guy gets passed on for a similar style player who couldve went in round 4

Good point

Senators needed a center, Sillinger has 1C upside and he plays a style that would fit that team perfectly.

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Stutzle-Sillinger-Brown

bro.

Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Timmy - Pinto/ Sillinger - Brown
Formenton - Sillinger/ Pinto - Paul
Sanford - Tierney - Watson/ Ennis

Thats a very exciting lineup

So you're telling me we could have had Eichel for Dvorak(=Tuch)+Guhle+Ylönen(=Krebs)+ 2023 top 10 protected 1st? Lmao.

Sabres fans were like StARtS WitH SuzUKi + CauFiEld

I once made an eichel trade and someone said matthews for eichel 1 for 1. If not that, then Tavares+Nylander or Marner+Robertson+

its sad how no one beat this offer. I fought against the Rossi, 1st, 1st, 1st, & Boldy type value demands but this offer should have been beat.

exactly. like how could no one table an offer better? i think adams shot himself in the foot by being so picky with offers that other gms just didnt bother counter

Yeah i agree. I have to guess that Buffalo thinks very highly of Krebs or there is something they know that we don't about Eichel. I was expecting more along the lines of a Boldy Rossi 1st & mid prospect with my value of Eichel being lower than some, so my only guess is that Buffalo sees something in the value they got and are waiting to announce a flip of Tuch for even more. Only time will tell i guess...

recently i have joined the hallowed halls of "users that have a 100%+ like-to-post ratio"

is this a good thing
