People are going to be very disappointed if this is their expected return
- Mentalorgasm5


3 + Zegras + Comtois or Drysdale is fine for me. I'd even take Henrique there too

That's 3 premium pieces of murrency.

When I start hearing about either/or on Zegras and 3 while the Sabres take back Henrique, that's no bueno

Straight up for Jack. Thats a fine trade. Add Henrique or other cap dump is in their for cap purposes and thats cool with me.

Zegras and Drysdale are top line prospects and most likely it will be so with 3OA Eklund. What more do you need? Can't gutt them lol

Must be those 2 to start. Or Zegras and Drysdale. Then you can take whoever at 1OA

How about
2022 3rd if Eichel plays less than 20 games next year.
2023 2nd if he plays less than 20 games in 2023.

Meets the requirements.

- ImThatGuy



Any deal with conditional requirements should go both ways. If the Ducks want insurance that Eichel’s career isn't done, that's fine, but the Sabres should be asking for the same insurance when he shows up and is amazing

What you outlined makes sense, but the Sabres should ask for equal compensation in the case that he exceeds 80 points.

If the Ducks have genuine concerns about his health, that shouldn't be a problem. There's no reason the risk shouldn't go both ways

++++ If he plays half a season or more in the first 2 years.

Both would be great duos imo. Drysdale being a RHD is a nice little perk as well.

I would think if his camp believes in the surgery, to have it right away and be ready for fall, for whichever team he is on

Would be funny

But I really think it is a two horse race with one or two outsiders trying to stay in it

I agree

However there is a deal with the Ducks that could work for both teams

- Stripes77
Realistically I see the trade being something closer to Ryan Kesler(LTIR), Sam Steel, Jacob Perreault, and 3 OV

It would be fine for me too, dont think they are going to get that big of a return.

1) Pick of the 3 - Zegras, Drysdale or 3 OV

2) One young roster player, someone similar to Steel

3) Lower level prospect Perreault( would actually love him to be included)

4) and a roster player making some $$$$

If that's the return, I'd wait til the draft next year. That's not nearly enough

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

- SDSabre


It does not. IMO - Zegras>Berniers; Power>Drysdale.

Equivalent of 4 first rounders
Max Jones
Sam steel
Isaac Lindstrom

Naw, I think they are actually both are pretty close. Drysdale isn't behind Power, and has a higher ceiling. I also wouldn't be surprised if Beniers ended up better then Zegras overall, with Z having a few areas where he's superior, but not as well rounded as Beniers. To each their own though.

PS, I'm one of the ones that is ok drafting Power.

That trade would have been executed day 1. That's not happening, because that's a pile of scraps, and the pick.

I agree with temper your expectations, then it won't hurt as much if you don't get what you want. Think people need to go in with a clear mind and say are these pieces coming back gonna make us a overall better team, not just top heavy!!
