Friedman on TJMS talking Eichel trade: "I do know last week talks with Vegas got pretty hot and then they cooled...One of the things that I have been told that really complicates all this is that if Buffalo is not going to retain..."
"...I think teams have looked and said is there anybody else that will help us facilitate the deal? Let's just say for arguments sake, if you ask say Arizona to pick up some of the money, you're asking Arizona to do it for 5 years. What's that worth?"
"All of those things are very complicated, I do think Vegas and Buffalo have tried, I have had people tell me they thought it was going to happen on Friday but it's obviously not there"
Yup. It's almost impossible to add $10M to the cap in season without Buffalo retaining or taking on salary. I'm convinced he doesn't play this season and has to wait until the offseason for a trade.
Well, his NMC kicks in July, Sabres would need to move him at the draft if they want to send him wherever they want. So, always a chance.
