Retool? Retool? I'll retool you!
- Powerslave

I guess I am thinking a different way, I think we have enough here to add pieces right know and be competitive and keep building from there.

Makes more sense for us

They’d probably say “no” to Aho
And that’s when we should hang up
- jdfitz77

Agreed

Carolina would be getting 2 more years of control with Eichel, and Eichel is the better player.
- kingcong39

I personally think Aho is a top 10 C in the league.

Is Eichel the better player ? Absolutely.

It’s not a huge gap though.

No. No. No. Git wit da program. The teams were terrible because of Risto. Solely. You got it bassackwards
- Michael Pachla

Oops... my bad...

Am I missing something? Why would Ottawa trade BT in the first place? Are they looking to deal him? Because if they are, they can do WAY better than that.
- Powerslave

Besides, Brady is better than matthew.

This place sometimes....

Bradys a top NHL player and is absolutely untouchable

No, I'm with you (in a sense). It has to be the "right" retool, though.

I definitely want a roster player (or two), but I also want the top prospect(s).

I'd do Aho and a prospect. I wouldn't need a ton more. Kid is amazing.

The only constant on this team the last 8 years is Risto.

- Pegullaville

And A LOT of mediocre players around him each year
Especially on defense

By which Caps player...wait for it...wait for it!
- Michael Pachla

Where’s Boss at?
I’ll bet he jumped up in the air to cheer that hit higher than Lazar was sent into the bench 😂😂

And A LOT of mediocre players around him each year

- jdfitz77

If Risto made half of what he makes and plays half as much as he does I wouldn’t mind him as much as I do.

Unfortunately that is not the case.

Buffalo would ask for Aho, one of the Carolina defensemen, plus.
- kingcong39

Would Carolina, though? That'd be a bold statement by the 'Canes, for sure, to trade for Jack.

They'd be putting the league on notice that they're going for it.

- Powerslave

That would honestly be the best case scenario in an Eichel deal.

Aho-Cozens-Mitts

That would be quite nice

Was gonna point out it's really seven full seasons and that his first full season was the 14-15 tank season

Brady is interesting as he's an analytics darling but so far, they haven't translated to actual points as much as his advanced stats would indicate they should.

I think y'all focus waaaaayyyy to much on him as a whipping boy. And in doing so y'all dismiss the rotten egg smelling gas emanating from the Sabre offices.
- Michael Pachla

👏👏👏 exactly

But for the record, if we are trading Eichel...
then we should also definitely trade Sam, & Risto, & Olofsson as well

Go full rebuild & try not to screw it up so badly this time

Well I agree it has to be the right retool

If you think you're a cup contender, you're looking for the final bit of improvement to make, and upgrading from Aho to Eichel might just do it for them.

Not to everyone

- Pegullaville

You should really use the last 6 seasons as his first was only 34 games during the 13-14 tank and his first full season was the 14-15 tank season.

Told you that you would get pulled back in!!!

That would honestly be the best case scenario in an Eichel deal.

Aho-Cozens-Mitts

That would be quite nice

Works for me!

Fax it over, Darcy!

It would be quite amazing.
- Powerslave

Almost but not nearly as amazing as Eichel, Reinhart, Cozens, Mittelstadt.

Vegas already views Eichel as the missing piece.

Things will really get interesting if Vegas loses again the playoffs due to having trouble putting the puck in the net.
- kingcong39

And the NyR owner supposedly wants Eichel badly
So let NyR bid that price up too

Works for me!
