Id watch the iihf final review
Does anyone know if you can put conditions on picks that are years in the future? For example, could a team include conditional picks for 2022, 2023, 2024 and beyond that are dependent on points/number of games played for Eichel? I.e. if he plays over 70 games or scores over X points in each respective year the pick is a first rounder, if he plays 60-70 and scores Y points in a year that pick is a second rounder, etc. etc. and if he plays less than 10 games there is no pick (or a 7th or something) so that his return matches his recovery?
Eichel grew up a habs fan. Trading within division just ups the asking price.
It's too bad that retained salary can't be conditioned like draft picks. Eichel would be gone if so.
International and olympics hockey is sooo dumb…
Idk what the hell Bowman is doing someone explain to me
Montreal doesn't have enough to trade for Eichel. They'd need to give Suzuki and Caulfield and most of their pics to meet Buffalo's demand. Think Buffalo might even ask for Allen. So what does that leave Montreal with if Eichel isn't healthy? Price, that's all.
Still waiting for the "Star sign Klingberg to a extension" … c'mon Stars
If Montreal doesn’t match kk’s offer sheet, I’d like to see them use the picks on a guy like Hertl, a top 6 centre who is reliable offensively and will help with the power play
I would imagine Cole Caufield would have to be part of any package going back to Buffalo, and if the Habs/Begervin refuse, well they better have an extra arm or leg to keep Buffalo/Adams listening… Look, I don't think most teams have the assets or could afford the assets Adams demands in an Eichel deal, so right now I really don't anticipate Eichel going anywhere… And keep in mind Eichel is still a "?" with his injury, so on top of a significant franchise altering package which is a risk within itself, there's an additional risk because of his health… Eichel is a really big gamble.
So Montreal wants to have two different $10 million contracts on their team? I just can't see it.
Trading Jack in same division will have to be over a payment from Montreal.
Late 1st round picks are 2nd round picks to Sabres. Adam's make him sit!!!
I think Canes have put in Habs checkmate, if they match KK's offer-sheet, they can't trade him the first year, so he can't be used as a piece in an Eichel trade. And still, if Habs do match KK's offer-sheet, Canes can give another one to Nick Suzuki next year 😀
Please do a review of the US Canada game
Go Leafs Go !
Dvorak from Arizona seems like the best fit for Montreal, makes sense
The Habs feel like the team that needs Eichel the most…HM to Vegas but they simply can't afford him.
I think we're gonna see a 3 team trade happening. Just like duchene
Until Eichel has his surgery and you know his condition, I'm not touching him.
Take the draft picks for Kotkaniemi, they weren't playing him anyway.
The Big Kid from Edmonton, you love to see it.
Dvorak seems like a good idea, Eichel with the health issues and massive cap hit seems very risky at this point.
I'd target Mcdavid, He would be a nice addition to montreal
Funny how Eichel might just Patrick Roy his way INTO Montreal lol
As a Hawks fan, so happy Murph was extended. He's one of the hardest-working players
Buffalo will ask for Caufield or Suzuki in the return. Trade likely won’t happen
i just don't see eichel going to montreal without the sabres asking for suzuki or caufield in return.
kuznetsov is an option, but he's a bit older and has attitude problems. still, he fills the need, and probably wouldn't cost much more than a 1st and a prospect dman.
for both of these, drouin has to go in the deal for salary reasons.
honestly, i'd just try and make the dvorak trade. the picks gained from the offer sheet might be enough. maybe we throw drouin at them and add a sweetener, like brook, harris, or poehling.
Go for broke. Take the compensation and go for Eichel. Fix a problem you have been looking to fix since you came to MTL (from a Leafs fan who would love a relevant rivalry):
To MTL:
Eichel
To BUF
Drouin (You have cole Caufield to round out your top 6 wingers)
CAR 1st 2022
MTL 1st 2022**
MTL 2nd 2022
CAR 3rd 2022
MTL 2nd 2023
*2022 MTL 1st top 5 protected (slides to 2023)
**Becomes a 2023 3rd round pick if Eichel plays 41 games or less in 2022 & 2023 combined.
Maybe throw in a prospect or two who isnt named Guhle).
One thing we know about Bergevin: when he bets, he goes ALL in.
If the sabres were to trade Eichel within the division it would need to be a ridiculous return. I doubt any Atlantic team has a chance at it.
As a Jets fan I'd gladly give up Scheifele for Eichel, toss in a Conditional 2023 1st & 2024 2nd picks and the Sabres can toss in Aaron Dell to back-up the Jets' back-up Eric Comrie. Now, if they can only talk Mark into waiving his M-NTC because I'm pretty sure Buffalo is on it.🤔
Finland just took home the bronze a couple of hours ago. Props to the Swiss for making it to the top four, what a team they had. Heartbreaking to watch them lose but I’m glad for my country winning another bronze. Still bitter about 2019 tho..
Of course its canada vs us…go canada
A lot has been learned the last two years. Who has learnt it well though?
I'm a Coyotes fan and I don't recognize that sweater. Can you reply with a link? Please and thank you.
Jack Eichel is not going to the Canadians, they would not risk it and he's just to much of a head case.
Don't target Eichel. The price and risk are too high. Take the comp on KK. He's clearly soured on MTL and Canes may even have known it pre-troll. Look for Cs but don't do anything drastic or desperate (see Karl Alzner).
So sick of Eichel.
Buffalo shot themselves in the foot on this one. Imagine they let him have the surgery 2 months ago like he wanted, the recovery time for the surgery was 2 months I believe. They probably could have been getting a trade done around now if not already
Imagine if Carolina tanks this year and that first round is a 1st overall. Then the Canadiens will have gotten the better of the whole ordeal.
come to 🦈!
Eichel can wear Kotkaniemi's old #15
Cant wait to see you on the SDPN!
I do t think division rivals matters when they are tanking the next few years for picks and rebuilding anyways
Just watched the latest SDPN… Shannon will be on the next episode, I'm so happy for this! (And now that Shannon is bigger on youtube than those guys, so hopefully both will gain a boost). And no, I'm not a Leafs fan, but still watch SDPN (as well as every video Shannon puts out)
cant wait to see you and sdpc Shannon!
Guenther should play for real, no pressure. What do you thinK?
That jersey is a beauty
