Thanks for the welcome note. Sabres are in a tough position for sure. will be interesting what they do, which has to be something soon i would imagine. Huge risk of downside vs the risk of upside on the trade front. Would be better to put this behind them before training camp starts.

Just reading news around the league and came across your site. Reading about Eichel. My thoughts and you probably wont like them. With his injury being the reason. 1) No way they get what they want for him. 2) I would trade him for 1-2 first rounders to a team that will be in the lottery draft with a high percentage. In addition get a good prospect NHL ready. Plus 3-4 players that are roster players and are young enough and cheap enough to fill the depleted roster that exists presently. That would include 1-2 D men and a couple of forwards. Best team to fit that bill: Kings( rated best prospect inventory in league) Ask for Iaffallo who is a Buffalo kid. Probably love to play here Young prospects (F) kaliyev, Turcotte, (D) Clague, Strand Roster players (F) Lizotte Moore Grundstrom Wagner (D) Walker Roy Strand or and a 6-7 D man like Matta or Wolalin. Nothing against Eichel but no team is going to play the 4 first round pick asking price for a player with that injury risk, that salary at risk, and clearly the relationship with Sabres in DONE. Always been a closet Sabre fan and wish the team the best in the rebound/rebuild. Go young, go with players with upsides, and strengthen the overall roster without killing the salary cap. Then if need be trade or pick up UFAs to add high end players. just my opinion.
