Bender said:I have no idea how to feel about this. I think maybe Buffalo won that trade considering the significance of Eichels injury? Tuch is a good piece, Krebs puts up points everywhere plus another first rounder which might not be as low as people think. Who knows.
I thought Vegas didn't have the space, but man the balls on that organization. They really help keep the NHL trade front mildly interesting.
L K said:So 3rd round pick swabs in 2023, a top 10 protected 1st round pick in 2022, Peyton Krebs (2019 17th overall) and Alex Tuch for Eichel.
Buffalo is too cheap to have salary so they are keeping Tuch off LTIR to maintain the cap floor (how is that not cap circumvention?)
Vegas is going to have about 28 million dollars in players on LTIR to fit under the cap.

bustaheims said:Vegas is pushing the cap ceiling for next season without being able to ice a full roster. They'll have to sell off at least one significant contract this summer (Pacioretty might be the most likely candidate, as he'll be entering the final season of his contract).

Get out.
CarltonTheBear said:So the Sabres made Eichel sit at home with a serious untreated injury for an additional 3 or so months for nothing (on top of the few months he sat at home wanting this surgery prior to the summer). Good luck with the whole attracting players thing.
