“Things still hot regarding Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart, but from what I’ve been told, not surprised if Buffalo hires a coach first.

Not that the two are related, Eichel relationship written on the wall for weeks now, but that word is going to come through soon”

"The asking price on the NHL trade market for Buffalo Sabres captain Jack Eichel has gotten to the point where rival NHL executives are questioning how Sabres GM Kevyn Adams is approaching the Eichel sweepstakes.

In this week’s ‘Off The Record,’ a rival NHL executive got specific and vented about Buffalo’s Eichel trade ask. The source described it as ‘just crazy!’"

From Boston hockey now? Yeah, ok Boston… sorry you can’t have jack for Hall and Lazar and a 5th…. Pay up or go home. He is a young cost controlled top 10 center in the league…

Cap circumvention debates aside, Lightning play a beautiful game.
- RhinoFan


Yes, yes they do.
They have actually played 3 different tactics in these series.
I like the one they played Monday night the best though

Not having Cap Limit for playoffs is dumb, dumb, dumb..no denying it.
But, the rules is the rulez...
Hate the stupid league...not the team that took advantage of dumb rulez.

Btw - It will be telling if the League decides to change it, or keeps it as is.

But Boss dissed the idea of VGK going for Eichel a couple pages back...

He must be behind reading his Fantasy Hockey rag by a couple weeks/months.

So changing it will admit a fault or mistake.

Leaving it will make more teams find ways to take advantage.

Find option C… the most convoluted, ass backwards ways to fix a problem they don’t want to admit that they have.

This is good news! If they don't get what they want, then just don't trade him. It's pretty simple!

I like the high ask. You don’t pay you don’t get him. Tell GMs he’s under our control and we are fine letting him go no where. Tell them to have fun getting fired by the time their prospects or draft picks are ready for the NHL or they could save their jobs aquiring a top 25 NHL player right now and for 5 years

I just want the isles to lose at this point so Adams can interview lambert and finally hire a coach…. I know. I know. He’s gotta learn the process…

Well, MAF would 100% be coming back as a cap dump with 1-year remaining, so be ready for it.

I'm not sure I like it. Unless they can trade Reinhart for a top-5 pick, I'm going to need one coming back in the Eichel trade.

Krebs, Cormier, Tuch, Reaves, MAF, 2021 1st, 2022 1st would have to be the bare minimum for me.

Seriously...

Adams: ok Don, well thanks for sharing your thoughts...let me go, I have a couple other calls to return ... ya, Julian, Kyle and Z-man Zitto want me to talk to them. But just some feedback for you to ponder; Rask and a '23 3rd probably won't get it done...I'm not sure your team has the young guns we are requiring. Stay close though..buh bye.

Wow, even I don't think they get 5 assets, plus A Cap Dump, plus another asset for the Cap Dump.

Keep Reaves and the 2 draft picks...get Brendon Brisson, and they hold $2m on Flury

Sam-Late first and a meh prospect

Risto-3rd rounder or a depth forward

Sam is a top 6 forward who as we learned last season can actually be a good second line center and has RFA status still

Risto 4/5 defensemen who is good on the PP and is one year away from UFA status

I respect your opinion. 👍

So we, dumping Eichel (in this scenario) would be the team taking full cap dump salaries. Vegas would want all the cap room they can get. So no way they hold $2m.
