I would think given the expansion draft coming before the nhl draft


any team sending 2 or more roster players out for Jack, would want the trade to happen before the expansion draft
- homiedclown

Anaheim won't have a problem protecting Jack. Exposing Jones or Steel can't possibly be a big deal.

You good with Zegras/Drysdale +3?
- Powerslave

Yes I would take Drysdale and 3

So 3OA, Zegras, Henrique and a B prospect isn't good enough to you?
- TheSabresTaco

I would be happy if it's those 3 and Blake McLaughlin

Yes I would take Drysdale and 3
- Buff36

Then who do you draft first?

I don't think they're going to get all of that

Comtois Perrault Henrique and 3rd overall was Anaheim's counter

Right now it's either Comtois and 3rd overall or just Zegras not the 3rd overall (plus the other pieces)
- Stripes77

I've proposed this trade on CF...didn't get one comment on it and I even threw the rights to Pilut lol

So 3OA, Zegras, Henrique and a B prospect isn't good enough to you?
- TheSabresTaco

Plus the Sabres give the ducks a conditional pick?

Personally, no.

Is there any chance the Sabres come close to achieving a win/win there?

Yes I would take Drysdale and 3
- Buff36

Then I would go Eklund and Berniers with 1 and 3

I think you hold tight to one of Zegras and Drysdale plus 3. And we'll even take your cap dump.

Then I would go Eklund and Berniers with 1 and 3
- Stripes77

Berniers is the new Reinhardt

I think you hold tight to one of Zegras and Drysdale plus 3. And we'll even take your cap dump.
- Powerslave

Agreed! If they aren't still interested, then Jack stays a Sabre.

Then I would go Eklund and Berniers with 1 and 3
- Stripes77

Yep

If it is between Zegras+ and Drysdale+, I would prefer Zegras.

So 3OA, Zegras, Henrique and a B prospect isn't good enough to you?

3OA, Zegras/Drysdale, Henrique feels like the deal they are hoping they come up to. Seems like it will take another team upping the ante to get them there.

If it is between Zegras+ and Drysdale+, I would prefer Zegras.
- SyrSabreFan

Best case scenario. Have the better centre of Zegras/Beniers
The better d-man of Power/Drysdale
And grab Eklund at 3!!!!

3OA, Zegras/Drysdale, Henrique, plus reverse conditional based on jack health? That might not be fun, depending on the condition, my condition is in feels like the deal they are hoping they come up to. Seems like it will take another team upping the ante to get them there.

Fixed?

So I know lots here seem pretty convinced Eichel is gone

If the keep him, either because they asked for too much or were not trading him anyways, would this have been the best chance to trade him?

I believe his clauses kick in next year so he has the power to decide where he is traded to which could limit the return, still will get a very good return but with him deciding that hurts the potential return or would you just keep him and hope he doesn't bring the team down if he isn't being a team player?

This is assuming he is healthy

Maybe a third team is brought in like the Duchene trade from Col to Ott...Nash received Turris. The third team would get Henrique send us some assets and we hold 50%

Fixed?


- Gr8daygo

No. Why would the Sabres be hoping to include a conditional?

If it is between Zegras+ and Drysdale+, I would prefer Zegras.
- SyrSabreFan

Sure, But does this change your mind:

Zegras, Power, Eklund

OR

Drysdale, Benier, Eklund

Both would look really good to me, and if that's the case I'm down

Maybe a third team is brought in like the Duchene trade from Col to Ott...Nash received Turris. The third team would get Henrique send us some assets and we hold 50%
- Leninthebuff

I think Henrique comes here

They want to develop their young players, not just throw them to the wolves every game

No. Why would the Sabres be hoping to include a conditional?
- Lunaion

Not hoping. But sounds like that’s what Anaheim is hoping. I would not like such things….

I may have miss read post as I was supposed to be working.

Yes I would take Drysdale and 3
- Buff36

that is not NEARLY though .........


Why are people giving away eichel today for free?

So I know lots here seem pretty convinced Eichel is gone

- dmarsden2988

Yes its better to trade him before the clause kicks in. But even if he has one. If he wants out we gotta let him out.

Compromise. Here's a conditional 6th rounder. GFYS (Ducks, not you Hank)
