Baby bitch malcontent Jack Eichel got dealt to Las Vegas for a 1st, NHL player Alex Tuch and top prospect Peyton Krebs.
Tuch has never scored more than 20 goals in a season. He has 26 goals in his last 97 games, .27 goals per game. Tuch is also under contract for 4 years at $4.75 mil per. Oh and Tuch is hurt and had shoulder surgery. Ouch.
So the Sabres dump Eichel's 10 mil and take back about 6 mil in salary. Which isnt nothing albeit the Sabres have as much cap space as any team in the league.
Vegas gas made deep runs in the playoffs every year. Basically that first rounf pick is useless because it has zero chance to be a top 10 pick let alone top 15.
The bottom line is Kreb better be very good. When you dont come close to getting equivalent talent aka trade a top 20 player its tough to win the trade.
Adams was in a no win situation. Fuck Eichel.
