Sujet: Eichel 3 way deal

</div></div>

I think we're missing the biggest issue with this idea...why would Vegas get involved in an Eichel deal to settle for Zib (lacking cost certainty and already 28, ) when they could just deal directly for Eichel and dump the needed cap on Buffalo at the same time. Conceptually, makes little sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Quoting doesn't necessarily mean targeting. You were both offering opinions on the same topic is all.

Also, way too adult an approach for ACGM lol

Sujet: Eichel for dach
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Buffalove</b></div><div>I think that could be “in the ballpark” so to speak
But i don’t think Strome has much value- he might be worth a 3rd?
And DeHaan is clearly just to help make Salary Cap room for you guys- he’s not really of interest to us other than topossibly trade at the deadline maybe (can’t imagine he’s worth more than a 3rd either)

So i think those 2nds would need to be upgraded,
or you need to add another good piece

Boqvist could be of interest to us- we could use a young RD with potential

Just my opinion though</div></div>

On the whole, agreed but mainly because of the massive retention. $14M retention over 5 years is going to cost at least a 1st and 2nd, maybe more (I don't see Buffalo retaining more than $1-1.5M).

Strome and De Haan are just there to make the cap work then be flipped at the TDL for an uncertain return so that seriously limits their value (especislly since Buffalo has no use for De Haan). I'd say upgrade the 2024 2nd to a 1st as a starting point and it's a maybe. So, all told, a strong effort.

Sujet: Eichel says Quack
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>They better not!

My biggest question to Sabres fans, when it comes to this is: If you were the second worst team in the NHL, and you didn't already have Eichel, would you make this trade? Best forward (Comtois)+2nd best prospect (Drysdale)+recent 1st rounder (Perreault)+Guaranteed lotto pick (so you're looking at 2023, when, as of now, you're still looking at a lotto pick) + Slightly overpaid 2/3C (Rico). Who would that mean for the Sabres?

2022 or 2023 1st
Cozens
Power or Quinn
Okposo (Not even in the same realm as Rico, but for the purposes of this exercise, this is as good as I could do)
Samuelsson

If someone wants to trade the farm for him, great, and yes, he's worth a haul, but there's zero point in the Ducks doing this.</div></div>

A better comparable for Cozens is Zegras. But still, easy no. You're spot on. If the Sabres can get a top prospect, 2022 1st, and useful NHL player like Henrique as the core of the deal, they'll be doing ok.
