If that report from Vegas is true then I wouldn’t expect anything close to that.
- ImThatGuy


I’ll remain hopeful till the deal is done
I think a lot of misinformation has been leaked,
so who knows what’s really going on behind closed doors?

No. Because 34 year-old Crosby would likely announce his retirement 24 hours later.
- buffalofan19

Not if we said we'd be moving him.

I'd imagine a team like Montreal would move mountains to have a Canadian superstar 1C

If the Pens offered 34 year old Sidney Crosby straight up for Eichel would you do it?

Obviously would never happen but the idea would then be to flip Crosby. k

Pens would basically extend their window with an elite 1C but they'd get the lesser player short term.

Only if teams really are low balling us on Eichel & refusing to budge

Doesn’t Sid have trade protection though??

Rangers fans on Twitter are a confusing lot. In the same breath, they will talk about how Eichel is not worth any of their best young players or prospects. If you come back with (prior to this most recent news) something like, well fine, I like these guys from MIN, ANA, etc., better, they freak out. Do they want him or not??
- Pingleheimer


Most NHL fans hideously overrate their own prospects. Of the top names we have discussed (Rossi, Zegras, Kakko, Boldy, Krebs, etc), at least half of them will probably be really average NHL players.

All teams have to do is shoot on Hutton from his left...he's not an ambi-seer.
- LandlordTom

Watch the games buddy. The sabres can only blame the goalies for so long. The team itself is loaded with overpaid cream puffs.

On a positive note, it will make everyone forget about the ROR trade

The sabres did everything for Eichel except win. They paid him (maybe even overpaid him), made him captain, and overpaid players to come play on his line with him.

At the end of the day, winning is all that matters.

- matty12345

Um, winning was his responsibility lol what the hell?

Colorado

They have a contending team but no goalie
