Don’t cry because Matthew Tkachuk didn’t name your team as a desired destination. Smile because Vegas is going to fire sale some more players to try to get him.

If you can get him for that, and a handshake extension (can't extend him until Jan., I believe), make the deal.

this probably isn't anywhere near enough

Eichel trade is going to be comparable. Tkachuk better, but Eichel had term already.

Eichel + 3rd
Tuch, Krebs, 1st, 2nd

We don't really have anything comparable to Tuch to offer. Olofsson is probably the best bet there, but he has no term and goes to UFA next season i believe

Cozens is probably the key piece. Then a strong prospect. Probably Peterka. Buf 1st rounder top 5 protected or something. Then probably one more piece. A 2nd rounder, or a B tier prospect.

Would be pricey, but I'd do it.

Edit: I'd also only do it if I had permission to agree to an extension beforehand too

I know we all hate Eikl but Eichel the hockey player is better than Tkachuk. Eichel the person maybe not.

Eichel at five years left on his deal Tkachuk has one year for free agency

Teams have virtually no cap for him so cap dumps are coming back to Calgary.

I don’t see them getting an Eichel style return for him

The feels and the player we saw may indeed be better than Tkachuk, but he has clearly better seasons on the books than Eichel ever had, and Eichel was being traded on the condition that the new team allow him to have disc replacement surgery lol

The UFA thing is huge, yes, but I doubt he gets traded anywhere without a deal in place first

Apparently Tkachuk has indicated he'd accept a trade to Dallas, Nashville, St. Louis, Vegas or Florida.

What I've learned from this list is that he likes BBQ and buffets. Possibly country western music.

Assuming Tkachuk agrees to an extension,
then we should absolutely do that deal

None of those pieces necessarily project to even be here in 3 years

I’d guess CGY would want 1 of those pieces to be higher end though

The problem with Vegas selling off players to make Cap room,
is that most of them have (at least) partial NMCs

Idk that it’s a realistic option for the Sabres

I wouldn't say that, it's just some wanted to see a player added in the top 6.Huge difference between what the Sabres are doing compared to the Knights.
