The NYR equivalent deal is:

Kakko
Chytil
2022 1st
2023 2nd

And they laughed at Sabres fans for that. So don’t let rangers fans say a thing

Most humans have an IQ of a 4. This is a good deal.

I can't believe it took a month to come back here and ask for a refund.

A first in a loaded draft, that could be leveraged in a trade or redeemed,
A proven 20 goal scorer, who plays with the grit and intensity we need
A prospect who has the potential to be as good as Eichel.
Some “ifs” but I’d say pretty good return for a hurt player, having experimental surgery, who refuses to play here

you're missing Krebs' 925
- TheSabresTaco


No I am not.

$65,647,475 with 23 players on the roster

That cap has Mitts and Joker counting towards the cap but not on the 23 roster.

Take out Eichel's $10 million

$55,647,475, add in Tuchs $4,750,000

You're at $60,397,475 with 23 players on the roster.

Krebs is at $863,333 so you can send Murray or someone else down to stay at the 23 roster limit. That's a wash.

The real problem is when Mitts comes back and you have to send someone down to get at the 23 roster players.

So here is the deal:

Eichel and a 3rd in 2023 (or 2024) for Tuch, Krebs, top 10 protected 1st in 2022 and a second in 2023.

Conditions are:

If it's top 10 in 2022 the Sabres get the Knights 2023 1st and their 2024 2nd and Buffalo sends their 2024 3rd

Hmmm
For all asking, my understanding is the @NHLFlames have Tkachuk ( who is a future potential captain) an upcoming 1 Rd pick, a former 1st Rd pick, and 2 prospects in the Eichel sweepstakes with the @BuffaloSabres . @espn @NHLNetwork #HockeyTwitter

If true, how do you compare to the Vegas deal?

Good for Buffalo, a 1st, Krebs and Tuch.

I didnt think they would want to part with a top 6 winger that is cost controlled for 4 years.

Sucks that he has to lose 89

I’d have to agree, and since when is Levin Weeks an insider expert. This is probably what Buffalo asked from Calgary and leaked it to leverage Vegas or whom ever else may have put up a legitimate offer

Here are the upcoming cap issues the Sabres will have to deal with and maintaining a roster size of 23

For right now, they send Murray down and keep Krebs here

That puts them right around $287,000 over the cap floor.

However when Mitts comes back they will have to send someone down to get to 23 on the roster, they will be under the cap floor. They will also have to do that again when Joker and then Tuch are able to return since they don't count towards the 23 but do count towards the salary cap.

I would imagine another trade is going to happen in the next week or two. Maybe a C-Bus goaltender we have been talking about...

with these moves

I would be taking on salary on rentals from other teams

ship out miller, butcher, and hagg asap for futures if they are not gonna sign them up

build the picks up so you can be like the sens, blue jackets and yotes in recent drafts

Ya not a great return from what was/is a franchise player IMO. I remember buffalo fans thinking Eichel was on par with Matthews, heck some buff fans wanted Marner for Eichel. I honestly thought the sabres would get more, this doesnt seem like a lot.
But if you guys are happy, I guess thats all that matters.

- Fakepartofme
no one wanted Marner for Eichel. And Eichel is on par with Matthews.

So we get an extra second and they get an extra 3rd 3 years out if it’s top 10? Hope they don’t make the playoffs but aren’t top ten then. Like pick 13 would be great
