Jimmy Pop Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 I'd expect Buffalo to get a long-term deal done with Eichel, at least that's the smart play. This is the NHL. You don't drag your feet with young star, potentially superstar talents, that you've drafted yourself. The dude's 20 and is a PPG guy already. You sign a bridge, what benefit do you expect? Couple extra $M each season in cap? The safety net in case he suddenly falls off the map? Not worth ticking off your franchise guy, IMHO. Atomic and blue_gold_84 2

If he'll do a deal where he gets $6M to $7M for his RFA years and $10M for his UFA years, you're probably going to sign that. Jimmy Pop 1

Year 1: 7.0 2: 7.5 3: 7.5 4: 8.5 5: 8.5 6: 9.0 7: 10.0 8: 10.0 8 years, $68M for an $8.5M AAV. Seems somewhat reasonable. Only possible downfall is if he becomes a band-aid, locker-room cancer or a cokehead. The skill is definitely there. JCon 1

Brandon Posted August 11, 2017 Report Posted August 11, 2017 Good guy, I'm glad we have players like him playing for the Jets. kelownabomberfan, SPuDS and Noeller 3

I think Chevy (like O'shea) both value guys who are good "team" guys and good "community" guys more then others.. when I see the roster stocked with the Perraults, Schief (before we evolved into the player he is now...) stewie, little and Wheels... these guys value that team mentality and fighting for each other and they often have a very good sense of community..

The Unknown Poster Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 Why is Vegas raiding Winnipeg? Did Gary have anything to do with this? lol Its too bad, I liked Hnidy! SPuDS and FrostyWinnipeg 2
Rich Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Posted August 15, 2017 Quite a few Winnipeg connections to the Vegas organization now. As they say, getting a job is more often about who you know not what you know. And as you alluded to earlier, Gary seems to be doing quite well down there as illustrated with his tweet: If you don’t like the Manitoba winters, Vegas isn’t a bad place to be. I like Hnidy as a broadcaster, brought an interesting perspective as an ex-player. Wish him well in Vegas. SPuDS 1
Noeller Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 was never a Hnidy fan, but do enjoy how much Manitoba connection there is to Vegas. They are absolutely going to be one of my favourite teams going forward. Jets, Oilers, Leafs, Hawks, and now we can add Vegas....will be fun to follow!
