Makes sense
They’re good buds- safe to assume they’ve talked

Sam should get a decent return himself.

Nah.

Glass isn’t that good. Seems to be on a trajectory to average to slightly above average

Theodore + though....

- sbroads24

Theodore like Fox is untouchable IMO.

I’d you are getting a dman back he’s a sub piece and not the main piece.

There's no trade that Vegas could make happen that makes sense for Buffalo.

Agreed
Sam has had a really good season
As a still young RFA,
I’d think his value is pretty high

Nothing we can do. They don’t want to be here.

We didn’t win anyway when they were here so might as well try something different.

Whatever we get back,
it should be that team’s BEST young pieces & not “secondary” guys

Theodore moves the needle though.

They absolutely cannot take back a package of players who don’t move the needle.

Even if they get one impact player/prospect and a first. It’s better than 3 Victor Olofsson types

I’ve thought of this, but I think this injury thing is real.

Remember how weird the Sabres we’re about it all season basically?

- sbroads24


Yea, but the part where he hasn't sought a 2nd opinion let alone taken it to arbitration is very strange and doesn't add up

hi guys the idiot in me would like to point out that there is a chance eichel was just using the little leverage he has to steer the offseason in a direction he has in mind and hasn't actually requested a trade

thank you for coming to my ted talk

- robz228


I think Jack is here next season.
I think Sam stays as well, with Jack.

Ok, here's the Skinner trade:

First Step:
TO ANA: 2021 2nd (from BOS) + Jeff Skinner at 50% ($4.5M)
TO BUF: 2021 6th or some low-rent prospect

Second Step:
TO VGK: Jeff Skinner @ $2.25M
TO ANA: 2021 2nd (Retained 50% $2.25)

Why does Vegas does this? Because they are a cap-strapped team and maybe they believe Skinner is a victim of playing in Buffalo and capable for being a decent middle six winger.

ANA pays $2.25 for six years and gets two 2nd round picks.

I can see Vancouver trading #8 overall for him. Would get a really good player there.

So you'd rather $9M for a player who can't score for you? Oooook.

Assuming we get great picks & young players as part of the Eichel trade,
we might wanna go in a different direction with Sam & try to get someone that can play sooner
Not that a top10 pick in this draft doesn’t have talent, but it might well be a few years before it’s making a difference for us

Tough to say

If he’s dealt without a contract he could just arb his way to UFA with the team that acquired him.

He’s effectively a rental.

I thought only 50% of a players total salary could be held? I don't think Buffalo could hold 50% and then Anaheim hold 50% on what's left?

They can. I believe that's what the Pens did with the Brassard trade.
