I wonder what the chances are for either of these two players to be disgruntled upon coming over? I wonder if we got to speak with them at all?

Does this make Tuch the best player almost in the lineup right now?

Without looking, I’m thinking that’s not going to go well.

Congratulations Kevyn Adams for holding firm.

I always expected him to come off the "4 first round equivalents" a bit.  The fact that he got what he got before Eichel got his surgery to me is surprising.  I didn't think he'd even approach the return he got with the cloud hanging over Eichel's health.

Jack gets his disc replacement.

The Sabres get their heart transplant.

Awesome. My vote for post of the failed John Eichel Era. 👏👏👏

You know, no salary retention, no more worry about the risk of Jack's surgery.  Just sayin'.

No more bad locker room.   Fair or not, Eichel will always be associated with a bad room.  Not saying it’s all on him, but some of it is.    It’s already better without him, and with Granato running the bench it should even get better.

You got to update the thread title. Getting a 2023 2nd makes me feel slightly better. 

All set

If Krebs doesn't play a 10th game, does his contract slide or is that long gone?

Gone, he played 3 games last year 

[Believer]

It’s finally over… Welcome to Tuch and Krebs… Good riddance to Eichel… Hoping our new Sabres are positive players and see the opportunity here… Expecting in a handful of years, Eichel will be disgruntled again… Hard to change character at his age… Good job, Adams…

Oh, another 2nd! Cool!

So, JJP-Krebs-Quinn in Rochester, or does he crack the Buffalo line-up?

[Flashsabre]

The 2nd is nice. I think the past couple drafts are really shaping up nicely and to have 3 1sts this year and a couple 2nds in 2023 is nice for this front office.

Alex Tuch is a beauty and he’s built for the playoffs. He’s excelled in the playoffs and he’s a welcome addition. 
 

About to research Krebs. I’m happy with this. Although now Jack is on my “side piece team” and that means he’s still in my life lol. 
 

Still a big risk for Vegas imo. Glad Jack is gone though.

I really want Krebs in Rochester

I think we have room for a talented center right now.  At least try him out.  Honestly I think it's more likely they send Cozens down.

Meh, at least it's done. Hope for Krebs. Just hurts how bad we wasted Eichel.

 

 

Well his career may never be the same and I just keep going back to that.

 

The fact this isn't discussed enough is mind boggling to me.

There's real risk there, for sure. If he were to get the fusion, I'd say he'd almost certainly return to form -- but with diminished quality late in his career and certainly diminished quality of life post-career. The ADR is a huge unknown. I wonder what happens now that he's with Vegas.

Totally agree.  I did not think they would part with Krebs.

Welcome.

Can't wait to read the letter to the fans Jack's agent writes.

This is basically the only thing I'm really curious about at this point. The trade and the subsequent return is whatever. There's a whole other chapter to this saga that is only just beginning.

Any chance it was glossed over, and Dunleavy was included in the deal? 😈
