Man I think Treliving should have really went all in here.

Buffalo can really want Tuch and Krebs.

But really if you offer Monahan, Valimaki, Zary, Unprotected 1st (Vegas has top 10 protection), Florida 2nd

Are they still going to covet Krebs and Tuch more?

BT needed to push all his chips in and was too afraid to do so.

LA could have beaten this deal. But didn’t. Anaheim could have beaten this deal. But didn’t. The Rangers could have beaten this deal. But didn’t.

The fact this was the best offer the Sabres got from any NHL franchise suggests Eichel isn’t valued as highly around the league as he was on this board over the last few weeks

I'm not too disappointed with this result, in part because I'm not persuaded Eichel is going to be that good. But I am a bit surprised that there's not a bit more quality heading to Buffalo all the same.

Wonder if we'll hear from BT today, particularly re rumours Tkachuk was part of Calgary's offer.

I'm glad this is over, it would be so Flames to pay a big price to acquire a guy who is literally broken.

Really what has Eichel ever done in the NHL? Some talk like he is a McDavid or MacKinnon. Hes not. He has never played an entire season and now has a spine issue that nobody knows how hes going to come out of.

What does that even mean? Beaten to who? You? Or buffalo? Because your opinion doesn’t matter. Only how Buffalo evaluated the trade pieces.

Does anyone think Monahan was waiving for Buffalo? Really? I don't think Monahan was ever possible despite the wishes of fans.

You just made all that up. You have no idea what was offered. You’re inventing facts to fit a narrative.

Buffalo obviously. I don’t know what’s so hard to understand about that.

This is the 5th time I pose this question yet nobody has answered it yet.

Why didn't 30 other teams beat this Vegas offer if it was easily beatable like you are all saying.

He's a bottom tier GM who gets bottom tier results. At this stage I legitimately don't think he has the ability to make in-season changes to a roster. It's not in his wheel house, he is incompetent. This guy spent his off-season trading an asset away for Zadarov.

He sucks, and it's why the team has sucked under his lead.

Our GM is ####. What does he even do?
Show me a single thing that says they had us seriously in the running? Anything?

This isn’t bidding on a house if they wanted Krebs we had no chance no matter what we offered.

Like listening to kids scream at their mom I want it, I want it, while mom yells at them I can’t.

This is what took 6 months to complete?? I wouldn’t be shocked if GMKA received better offers at the draft. What a joke.

Not the news I was hoping for this morning. Really does seem like a deal that could have been bested from the Flames. Without the information on the surgery recovery and potential risk, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on not wanting to pay more. But I have a feeling this will look like the Thornton trade in a few years.

Because they can’t. They are convinced we were in the running and I just don’t think we really were. Nothing to do with the gm if our team it has everything to do with the wants of the other GM.

Also your right why didn’t a dozen teams come up with a comparable package??

Probably for the same reason that fans complain about easily-beatable offers most of the time... because their GMs are incompetent

Can't expect anything more from this GM. An absolute disaster of a team with no direction.

At least we spend assets on 6/7 dman lol. It sucks having a GM who has no clue how to build a team.

Calgary is pretty much at the cap as well. 30 other teams didn't beat the Vegas offer because we as fans have no idea the real value of Eichel.

Makes sense. Treliving is never anything more than someone used to bid up the price.
