IF Eichel healthy than having Laf as part of the deal would be fine..BUT Eichel having untested neck surgery and getting artificial vertebrate implants. Can't see this deal happening. Too many unknowns

It’s actually not “untested.” It’s been done on rugby players many times before. So it’s not untested.

Of course MB wasn't matching, it would have been idiotic and put the team in more of a pickle than they are now. Can KK take the next step in Carolina? Sure but it remains an ''if'' not to mention he is far down the depth chart at center

Pretty sure that's the plan, or one of them. MB will have to overpay but he cannot possibly sell us entering this season with that center line. It will be the whole ''we have a better defense than last year'' all over again but worse. (The year he signed Alzner and Schlemko then made that claim)

There is only one GM dumber than Marc Bergevin and that's Don Waddel. What an absolute (frank)ing moron. KK is not an NHL quality player. I would not be surprised to see the guy in the AHL this year. Only reason he made the NHL was because he was playing on the worst team in the league.

Funny. I watched a not NHL quality player take a puck from an NHL quality defensman and score on an NHL quality Goalie. I watched a not NHL quality player take an NHL Superstar out of plays in his Dzone while most other NHL quality players would have watched the puck and let the superstar get open and score. I watched a not NHL quality player snap shots from the top of the red circle and further away through NHL quality defenders to score on NHL quality goalies. Someone is just salty and talking poop about someone they dont watch play

Friedman is all over it, says a 1st and another pick is being discussed.
Edit: Well that didn't take long, Dvorak to the Habs for a 1st and a 2024 2nd

So let me see if I understand you Buffalo fans, you want other teams to give you top return for an injured player right? So tell me would you trade for him and give up your top 4-5 players? Not even the GREAT ONE MR. 99 got that kind of return. My advice to you is to go to the doctor and get treatment for the HOMMER SICKNESS you are suffering from. Before you try and get 4-5 players tell your owner to get him healthy first and then maybe you might get a great return.

We are just like any other fan base who would be doing the same thing. And it's everywhere what the Sabres are asking in the media not the fans, and you will always start high and go from there. And his injury might not be as bad as has been portrayed, Jesus there's rumors out there know that he might be healthy enough to pass his physical for camp.

Montreal fans are just way too bitter. Far too much whining.
- spatso



not bitter at all. this was the right move. correct a wrong and pivot. dvorak today is a better player than kk. down the road? who knows? in the meantime, carolina has to pay an unproven commodity 6 mill and either the same next season +10% or sign an unproven commodity to a long term deal. or walk away from the player after 1 season if they play wait and see what kk does this season.

guarantee carolina didn't expect this. didn't expect to shell out 6 mill for a hopeful. bergevin is not as dumb as some people like to portray. he's a seasoned g.m. and i would bet he has another surprise up his sleeve. so no, habs fans aren't bitter and only the posers are whining.

So much hate on Eichel. When healthy he is a top 5 center a potential 100 point player. You can’t get him for free

Agreed. While I dont think Buffalo will get what they're asking, he's worth WAY more thank a bunch of ''maybes''. Like the Ottawa blog that says they are not giving up any of Norris/Batherson/Formenton or Stuztle to get one of the top 10 centers in the game (maybe top 6) Only Colin White and a bunch of ''maybes''. Buffalo isin't trading Eichel if a sure thing isin't coming back

The Rangers would be fools to make this deal. Not only is Eichel coming off an experimental surgery, but Lafreniere is still on his rookie deal for a few years. Laffys rookie year was not spectacular but he will improve. Huberdeau comparison makes all the sense in the world to me. The Rangers coach also should be forced to lean more on their younger guys.

What Surgery, until it actually happens nobody knows what's going on, Jesus there were rumors coming out this week that he might be able to come to camp and pass his physical.

Again where are the Rags going to put JE and his 10 mil.. they simply cannot afford him unless somehow they get Sabres to take Trouba and his disaster of a contract and play back. And to do that .. they would really have to up the package.
- dozerD10


They can fit him in this year. The following year they would have to make moves. They can also easily move strome to free up cap. Also laf willl never be included for Eichel unless he was healthy
