<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JayTea</b></div><div>So if Tuch was essentially Middlestedt and Krebs was essentially a 1st round pick still, the trades were about the same. I didn't actually say Ek was Eichel, I was pushing back on your debunked claim that the suggested return Minnesota would want was more than any player had received in the past 30 years. I am also saying 100% Eichel had the stain on him at the time of not knowing what Vegas was actually getting due to his injury. You know what you're getting in JEEK.

Currently however? They're not <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/786825?post_id=4584063">far off</a> in contract value and getting $8.9m in value out of a $5.25m cap hit player is a pretty sweet deal compared to $10.1m value on a $10m cap hit. Eichel puts up more points, JEEK has been a top 10 Selke nominee the last few seasons so they're just different types of players.

You still can't name another player with 5 years left that's been traded can you? Keep shifting the goalpost all you want, you could at least admit you don't know of one so we can both agree the likelihood the Wild would even consider moving JEEK is slim to none and it would take a stupid overpayment to get them to consider. The trade we're talking about is a stupid overpayment btw. Buffalo would need to be pretty dumb to do it, just like I honestly thought Vegas was insane to give up what they did for Eichel given his health but hey that seemed to work out for them so what do I know.</div></div>

I did think sabres fans would recognize the compare to eichel. Nearly twice the cap hit injury prone and a total diva be ek who’s everything you want in a player. He produces, gives 100% every shift, plays injured, steal of a contract, in his prime and signed long term. Any team in the nhl’s ears would perk up in a heartbeat if there was a wiff of ek being on the trading block. With eichel only a handful of teams kicked tires because of his cap hit and cost. Ek’s cap hit would be a blessing for any team.
