Snapshots: Eichel, Schmidt, Warsofsky

June 18, 2021 at 12:03 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 15 Comments

Things haven’t really changed in the Jack Eichel sweepstakes, other than to say that talks are progressing with teams around the league. Darren Dreger of TSN was on WGR 550 in Buffalo today, explaining the current situation:

What we know is that the discussions on Jack Eichel have increased over the last week. To a point where I’m pretty comfortable in saying that Jack will be traded. What we don’t know is where. There are a number of suitors, a number of teams that would love to have a healthy Jack Eichel–put an asterisk beside that because we don’t know yet what direction that part of the scenario is headed. But any team that needs a center, I think of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Anaheim to some degree. 

Dreger reiterates that the Sabres aren’t just dumping Eichel and will still demand a high price in return. He’s not the first NHL insider to imply that a deal is inevitable in Buffalo, with Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet recently saying that the Sabres want to move on and Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic writing that talks were getting “more intense and serious.” It looks like a resolution to the saga is coming and coming fast.

  • It wasn’t great news for Boston University today as 2021 draft prospect Roman Schmidt decided to sign with the Kitchener Rangers of the OHL. That ends his NCAA eligibility and means the 6’6″ defenseman will not be attending BU as expected in 2021-22. Schmidt, who played minor hockey in the Toronto area before joining the U.S. National Team Development Program, was ranked 58th among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting.
  • David Warsofsky, who spent the 2020-21 season with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL, has signed with ERC Ingolstadt of the DEL. The 31-year-old has 55 career NHL games but is a strong minor league defenseman, recording 19 points in 22 games for the Wolves this year.

      I would actually take Jones and a first over Eichel any day…BUT only if Jones agrees to an extension, which seems unlikely.

    I wonder if the Mookie Betts trade last year is a good comparison of sorts. Mookie was in his contract year yet still here’s what the Red Sox received in return…
    -One very good Young starting player of the same position,
    -One Young high potential minor Leaguer,
    -One young middling potential major leaguer.

    Mookie’s “contract year” equates Eichel’s injury uncertainty? Or am I totally off base and this is apples and oranges hockey and baseball?

    (Yes David Price was added to the Mookie deal but I would consider it a throw-in because I don’t think he added or took away value in regards to the deal. “You take David Price, pay just half his salary, we’ll pay the other half.)

      So what am I saying here? Essentially it’s Jack Eichel for three players. One great Center who’s young, and two young guys that could be something (or, one pick and one young guy?)

      With no salary relief plus the injury uncertainty that’s all you can expect in return. If Buffalo kicks in some salary relief they might receive more players/picks.

    Strome
    Kreider
    1st round pick or Dman like K’Miller

    Zibby is due for a payday soon. Will be upwards of 6.5mil so Rangers might lose him anyway. Next year you get him and Eichel

    A duo of Panarin and JE, and any of the stud young wingers will be deadly.

    Buffalo gets a 2nd line center, top 6 winger, top 4 D or first round pick
    NY gets 1st line center

      Ok…but NYR is not going to want to pay Jack AND Zibaneajad.
      I would do-
      Trouba
      a goalie
      Alex
      1st
      If Buffalo takes Kreider back it will set them back 5 years.

      THE Alex (1st overall) and this years 1st overall AND those other pieces?

      Eichel isn’t worth two 1st overall players and Trouba isn’t that bad if you think you need to add to get rid of him

    As a CBJ fan I’d rather have Reinhardt. Eichel’s health and contract are two big question marks

    As. Bluejacket fan, I would rather have Eichel AND Reinhardt!

    Seth Jones, the 5th pick and Stenrud.

    Lol salary relief! Go find a franchise center at your local bargain bin at Walmart then! You want an elite franchise center your going to pay a premium! Period! Moronic thinking going on. Pay to play or go home.

    Eichel to Anaheim for Zegras ,Comtois and this year’s 3rd pick….or Drysdale instead of Comtois…

      Absolutely agree Eichel is going to Anaheim. Very least they get is Zegras and their 2021 first round pick (3rd overall). Would love to see them get Drysdale also, but that’s a reach in my opinion. Reinhart will go to LA for Turcotte and their 2021 first round pick (8th overall). If they get these 2 trades to work out this rebuild will work!
