Sujet: Offers on Rielly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Toronto fans need someone to hate and it's always going to be a skilled player who doesn't hit a tonne.

Rielly isn't a franchise d man or stud number 1.

But he is more than a top 4 here's an undisputed first pairing defenseman and would be the number 1 defenseman on many teams.

First off he's a minute eater. That's a skill.

Offensively he's one of the best in the league. He's 9th in points by a dman the least 3 years

And it's but just being a pp qb he's 4th in even strength pts

He can play in all situations. He's a smooth skater who can play all situations. And until this year he's done it with either scrubs or a very old Haibsey

Is he a stud defensively? No. But he's not bad or a liability.</div></div>

Relax dude. I'm not hating on Rielly.
He is a good player, but he is coming to the end of his deal and with the emergence of Sandin it looks unlikely we are going to offer him 7+ mill on a long term deal.

He has had a pretty rough year defensively though. I would say he is a bit of a liability.

Sujet: Legit offer for Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>The deal doesn't have to be cap in, cap out in the off-season. Teams are allowed to go 10% over the upper limit of the cap in the off-season. Vegas could make a deal for Eichel without Tuch, and then make a deal with another team sometime in the off-season to be cap compliant. As long as they're under the cap by the first game of the regular season, they're fine.

Buffalo won't retain. You can argue there aren't many teams that can afford his cap hit, sure. To which Buffalo comes back with there aren't any players at all like Eichel that are available. Doesn't matter about his cap hit, if you want a player like him then you make the cap work yourself. That's not Buffalo's problem. In a pandemic world where it's a flat cap and money doesn't flow as easy, teams aren't gonna be retaining as much and especially not for that length. You want Eichel, you know what you're getting in cap so you make it work or you don't get him.

With how disgruntled Eichel is, everyone basically knows how it's coming to an end. It will lower the price and if it comes to 1 of Krebs or Glass, Vegas will say they can have Glas but not Krebs. Vegas is doing just fine without Eichel, they don't need to give up a cost controlled A prospect for a guy that they're already winning without. That being said, Glass is a good consolation player and better all around than Krebs. And don't scoff at Hague being included in my idea. He's already capable of playing top 4 minutes at such a young age, and he's a big body that's only getting better. He's been raves about for his leadership ability too. I'd argue he's Vegas' best young player anyways so they're giving up they're best prospect/young player already.</div></div>

And you very well might be right about that, but Vegas could say the same thing. Don't want to retain to get this package? Ok cool. Have fun trading Eichel for Chytil, Kakko, and a 1st.

Maybe its not 2mill either, could be less, but Buffalo has pretty low leverage considering the player they are trading.

And yes I agree, doesn't necessarily have to be money in money out. Tuch I just thought was good because he adds value to the trade and subtracts cap, but if you could trade Rielly Smith to someone else that might be better.

Ultimately I agree with you, but I don't think its out of the question

Sujet: Legit offer for Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>Buffalo won't be retaining on Eichel. The talks stop there if it's even brought up. But I think Glass as a natural centre would be the centre piece in a deal. Vegas is high on Krebs, I doubt they include him in the deal. I also don't think they would include Tuch because he played with Eichel in his draft year for the USNDP and went from a third line, mid round prospect to a top line, first round pick. Vegas would likely wanna try that again.

I'd centre the deal around Glass, Hague, and a 2022 1st to start. Then go from there</div></div>

Hard to make the salary come even close to working without Tuch.
Vegas likes Krebs sure, but if they are making a push for Jack Eichel you have to make sacrifices.

I personally don't think they hang up the phone on retention. There aren't enough teams who can take on 10 million that easily. The offer is 5 legit assets for one so the retention seems reasonable to me
