"At this time, I’m told there’s a good amount of discussion around conditions in a potential trade to protect the team acquiring Eichel in the case his neck injury does keep him out of games in the next year or two.""


This is so confusing. Button said nothing is allowed.

As of April they were legal in at least some situations it seems like Button is wrong

Did you steal this from the EK thread?

HE wrote 99% of this.

Read most of it on the Athletic this morning. I was under the impression after 15 years on here I’ve earned at least the fact I don’t read EK anything

Blasphemy!!

Fixed

Or Maybe they flip Jones to one of the teams trying to trade for him?

Could get a very large haul for Jones this off season as well...

But I really don't think Columbus has been in on Eichel as much as many people think.

LA/Ducks hold the 1A, 1B spot on interest
Minnesota/Vegas/Rangers are 3 4 and 5
C-Bus is 6
- Stripes77

Alrite, so let's say we get 3 1sts, one being a 5, one the 24 and one a late 2022 pick. How is that quantity better than the quality the LA Ducks can offer?

Eichel And Risto for 4OA, Hughes, Wood, Zacha and our 5th back

This sounds good.. is this good?

I think there's a reason he isn't a GM anymore


But really it's hard to keep up with all the changes they did.

They put in a rule that qualifying for the play in tournament last season didn't count as making the playoffs, that teams had to make it through into the round of 16 to be considered the playoffs.

Ek stealing roomars from the athletic? nah that aint him, dawg

He had 35 points in 50 games this past season.

58 point pace across an 82 game season.

Maybe this season was an outlier but if you can get him for a reasonable price why not ?

Worst case scenario he is the best, or one of the best, 3C’s in the league that takes a lot of the tough matchups that opens things up for the Cozens and Mitts lines

how many came against buffalo?

But the players stats counted as playoff stats in the not-playoffs

- TheSabresTaco

I am not saying it is or isn't better

LA and the Ducks can beat that offer, the question is will they budge and give Adams the prospects he wants plus their first

But the players stats counted as playoff stats in the totally-not-playoffs

Right?

Could it be conditions on resigning player only? I thought there were conditions at trade deadline this year about how far teams go in playoffs or games played (not involving Sabres).

I think I could do this. Maybe swap out Zacha with Foote or Mercer.

Now do RAPM
- OneKaneOneCup

Yep, still sucks.

Pavel Zacha

(Out of a potential 100)

1 Year Defense: 5

3 year Defense: 2

Rasmus Ristolainen

1 year Defense: 3

3 year Defense: 5

For someone who despises Rasmus as much as most here, this is an odd play for you.

Ek is funny, i'll give him that

Conditions:

New Jersey Devils Acquire:
New Jersey Devils

2022 conditional 4th round pick* (EDM)
*Conditions: The 2022 4th round pick will upgrade to a 2022 3rd round pick if the Oilers win a playoff round in the 2020-21 Stanley Cup playoffs

Result: Oilers didn't win a playoff round in the 2020-21 Stanley Cup playoffs. Devils will receive the Oilers 2022 4th round pick

Ek is funny, i'll give him that
- SABRES 89

Awful quiet. Not much to share?

Where's our New Jersey friend, I'm sure he can tell us how often Zacha gets caved in on defense.

- TheSabresTaco

Right!?

Button was wrong, the only 'condition' removed from conditional picks is an upgrade of pick if the player re-signs with his new team.

Several posts on this and the previous page that quote the CBA as to the change that restricts conditions the conditions...effectively the outlawed conditional compensation based on signing a contract with the acquired player. That is it. May impact thexSabres as it would apply to a potential Rhino trade.
