<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MJCrv</b></div><div>Wrong. Hall was a UFA. It was trade him or lose him. JE is under control. The NMC doesn’t matter. It’s not as big a deal as ppl think. It’s an obstacle, but nothing tragic. If you present Eichel with the option of say Minnesota or staying in Buffalo, is he gonna say no?</div></div>

i think you're going to be disappointed with the results of eichels trade. As a NYR i am not even interested in eichel anymore with so many injury complications and his high cost. He isn't worth it considering his career could take a significant turn of events. Im in favor of dvorak now. Buffalo doesn't have a lot of people interested in him anymore meaning whatever offers you get, they likely wont increase or yield what you want. Just look at the big picture not just your teams scope on this incident.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MJCrv</b></div><div>Sorry, your stance is wrong. He can leave for Russia if he wants, which everyone knows he doesn’t want to do. This is a tactic that you’re falling for. Ppl say things like “time is running out”, “KHL”, “injury”, “you’ll be stuck with him”, “disgruntled”, etc. as a tactic to drive his price down and make the team feel as though there’s mounting pressure to trade him. There’s not. The Sabres are in control. Period. Always remember that. If you’re not getting good value in return, you don’t have to make a move.</div></div>

Not to mention other players seeing this approach will make Buffalo an awful destination for free agents and have them be an even more avoided team than they already are.

Right they are in control but in no means are they not under pressure. Sabres will continue to be a tire fire, and this latest news keeps adding to it. Having an asset that wants out and yeilds a decent return currently is better moved now than held onto and not even playing because buffalo won't let him get the surgery and he won't play without it. Management will just take the L and be out 70M and whatever assets he would've yielded in a trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MJCrv</b></div><div>So if his value is down, why would trade him when his value is lowest? This return doesn’t help Buffalo. You don’t give away a superstar. Ever. You hold on to him and let him play if you have to. Prove he’s healthy and then try again. Your approach is completely wrong. You’ve given in and therefore, lost the trade. Remember, you own an elite center in his prime with 5 yrs remaining and literally do not have to trade him. Don’t let them flip the script on you. The Sabres are under little to no pressure to trade him. It’s Eichel’s camp that should be nervous, not Buffalo. They can always bring him back, whether it’s “healthy” for locker room or not doesn’t matter. 90% of the team won’t be around in 2 years anyway.</div></div>

He wont play until he receives his surgery which buffalo wont allow. How can you "play" him without him being healthy and proving his value. The longer buffalo holds out the less teams are interested and most of them already backed out after trades/FA. Buffalo claims they are under no pressure but everyone has already come to the conclusion that Buffalo is under extreme pressure to the point i wouldn't be surprised if eichel leaves for the khl if something isnt done. They are not giving him away but they will not capitalize on his value because it will be perpetually stuck at its lowest for some time.
