<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenXHockey</b></div><div>Ooof… Eichel is worth way more than that without retention.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>There is nothing anyone would ever offer to convince Buffalo to retain anything on a five-year contract. And if you’re going to pass on Owen Power you trade down and make sure you still get your guy.</div></div>

I really appreciate your comments and I have no issue with you taking the other side on any of my positions.

Let me give you the reasons why I think GM Adams will most certainly retain when he deal Jack.

1. Adams needs to be able to draw in more teams to drive up the price. The way he does this is to retain so that teams who had no shot of a 10 million contract but can do 7.5 or 8 Million. The more teams interested the higher the return;

2. Adams has cap space this year and next year with Miller falling off the roster so that is 2 years down of the 5 years.... Year 3 Okposo falls off.....

3. Adams is not going to be signing any expensive FA over the next 2 years. This time period is similar to Brandon Beane and what he had to do his 2nd year in &amp; working with a roster that has a plethora of dead cap space.

4. I hope you are right that Eichel is worth more than that in a trade I would rather low ball than over shoot. I beg to differ as I would really like the players that Adams would be getting.

5. The Eichel deal probably does not get made until November/December as I think that Adams will wait until Jack is back on the ice and performing then he will look to maximizes his value

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dutchies</b></div><div>BUF won't be retaining on Eichel. And they're not going to be adding in Olofsson. But I'd do Eichel and the 3rd for those 3 and the 1st. I think Tomasino is gonna be the best of the bunch.</div></div>

Dutchies I know that not agreeing with you can be a very lonely journey.... I think that Adams will be retaining on Eichel..... if he has done what I believe he has done which is to go to Terry &amp; Kim and say listen if you want to correct the course of where this franchise is heading you will have to allow me to do a few things that you are going to have to just swallow and move on.... one of those things is retaining on Eichel.

If Terry &amp; Kim give him a 5 year plan the $2,000,000 - $2,500,000 will not matter much to the Sabres. In 2021/2022 no issue, 2022/2023 Miller drop off so that absorbs the retention, 2023/2024 &amp; beyond he can work around it.

If Adams retains on Eichel 20%-25% he increases the number of teams that become contenders and he also will maximize his value.

I actually think GM Adams plan is as follows:

1. Wait and trade Eichel until November/December while retaining 20%-25%. I think it has all been a smoke screen that the Sabres are so high on this years draft.

2. The Sabres will draft Berniers or Eklund #1

3. The Sabres will deal Risto and retain 50% of his salary

4. Adams &amp; Granato will sit down with Samson and apologize for how the organization has treated him and tell him that their plan is to build around him. They want him to sign an 8 year deal for $8,000,000 a year and make him the Captain;

5. The best weapon GM Adams has right now is his ability to retain salary as he is certainly not going to spend in FA at this point;

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dad</b></div><div>If you bring Eichel in you'd most likely need to move Kadri out, I watched him struggle as 3C on Toronto and I think it'd really hurt the Avs if he was given that role. I think Compher would be a great fit in Buffalo, they drafted him and may even lose Reinhart along with Eichel.
I'm certain Eichel will be gone before October. The last time I can think of a similar situation was Seguin in 2013 with the Bruins. I like the deal you offered, it's really similar to what Seguin went for. Might need to add Compher and another pick if other teams are going all in for Eichel.</div></div>

You are know starting to think more strategically and a smart move by a GM would be to move in now and strike a deal for Eichel. GM Adams is willing to wait until the season starts and then look at October or November. I do not think that Adams is risking anything to wait as I think the attractiveness of Eichel will only increase the closer he is to returning and producing on the ice.

Therefore a cunning GM should not have to give Adams his Kings Ransom for Eichel but the GM that sees it as an opportunity now and offers say 3 Equivalent First Rounders and included in that is the top prospect in the organization a deal can be struck.

If Adams waits he allows Eichel to reestablish a higher value than current mark is willing to pay. The fact that the Sabres will have paid a portion of his current salary once the season has started also increases the expected return.

A cunning GM for this example Vegas:

1. Glass or Krebs
2. 2021 First Round Pick
3. Alex Tuch

or

1. Glass or Krebs
2. The first Round pick in 2021
3. The New Jersey 2nd Round Pick in 2021
4. Fleury
5. Paul Cotter

The Sabres send:

1. Eichel
2. Retain 25% of his salary
3. 2021 3rd Round Pick of Montreal

Since you are looking for the Av's:

1. Eichel
2. 25% salary retained
3. Montreal 3rd Rd pick in 2021

for

1. Colorado's 1st Round Pick 2021
2. New Jersey 2nd Round Pick 2021
3. Colorado's 1st Round Pick 2022
4. Kadri
5. Foudy
6. Barron

The point I am trying to make is GM's that wait end up allowing Eichel to take the risk out of the deal which they can currently leverage. GM Adams hand only gets stronger as the season wears on.
