EICHEL was injured and the Sabres wanted to trade him. Different situation. NJ has no desire to trade their young franchise player and young offensive dman brother. EP40 isn’t even a starter.

Just trade Quinn to NJ and get something for him instead of losing him for nothing. 

The injury is overplayed but Jack Hughes is also injured and some believe injury prone. All I'm saying is I think Rutherford will TRY to do this. NJ may prefer the reverse absolutely. But you never know. Some offers are hard to refuse.

If they aren't trading Hughes, the Canucks best assets are:

  • Good veteran 2nd-pairing defencemen Hronek and Petterson on long-term deals
  • Good veteran 2nd-line winger Debrusk on a long-term deal
  • Veteran soon-to-be UFAs Conor Garland and Thatcher Demko
  • Good 2nd-tier prospects Tom Willander and Jonathan lekkerimaki.
  • The 14th overall pick in this year's draft
  • 45-point former star centre Elias Pettersson and the 7 years and 80-million-plus left on his contract.

What mix of those players would you take for a 23-year-old 1C with 5 years left on an $8M deal?

Now how much more would they have to add to also acquire a 21-year-old defenceman who has already topped 40 points twice in his young career.

Make New Jersey an offer they cant refuse.

How many picks do they want? I am not saying it's viable. I'm just saying Rutherford will try. I don't follow NJ so I have no idea how happy or unhappy they are with things or what their direction will be going forward. Maybe they have no interest at all. Maybe they make an offer for Quinn. 

Maybe Sabres should offer their whole roster both ways and bring the 3 Hughes boys here. lol, who the f knows.

I'm not endorsing any of the Kraken moves, but what does it say about the Sabres, if an expansion team that has only been in the league 4 years and already has a playoff appearance and a 1st rd win under their belts, is on to their 2nd GM and 3rd HC, because the results just aren't good enough?
