"The Blueshirts have been linked to Eichel since last summer, when then-GM Jeff Gorton had pre-draft discussions with his Buffalo counterpart Kevyn Adams. The talks are believed to have broken down when Gorton refused to part with the first-overall selection that became Alexis Lafreniere."


what does a "proper offer" entail?

I don't know who said it first, but of course the Rags have ever interest in saying it was a "fair and reasonable deal" while Buf has zero reason to. They could have offered Chytl, 2021 first, and Kratzov and claimed it was reasonable and KA is just being stubborn. IMO, (frank) em, every time they pull that poop add another prospect. David GD Putney style.

He’s a 4th line utility guy. Decent motor. Falls a lot. Could be part of a 3rd line defensive like like 2 years ago. I don’t have anything bad to say about him. Works well if put in the right spot. Probably paid a bit too much but it sounds like they are gonna have to hit the cap floor anyways.

I don't know I don't follow what he has or does.
- SABRES 89

as pieces under the PSE umbrella, one might believe it's all a part of the equation...it's been said that he's been losing tens of millions of dollars on the sabres...pse just dumped the 716 restaurant on southern tier...his energy company took a major hit but has probably rebounded...

just wondering if there are any other entities that were jettisoned...not that you'd know, just throwing it out there

We talking Byfield or bust or a mix of Turcotte, Vilardi, Bjornfot, 8OA, and the like?
- SDSabre

Turcotte, Valardi, Arthur Kaliyev, Sean Walker and the 8th would do it for me.

We are to small of a team, we need to get bigger, stronger and harder to play against. Also go strong to the net.

Yeah, Brooks is quite a tool for sure. But my point is that it benefits the NYR to "leak" that info and actively hurts Buf. So one can deduce pretty easily who leaked it for their own gain.
