Sportsnet: Elliote Friedman on the 32 Thoughts: The Podcast – Kaprizov secures the BAG episode, on the Vegas Golden Knights and Jack Eichel, which is eligible. Eichel gets more Mitch Marner, but the Golden Knights may hope a little more. Could Eichel think of Leon Draisaitl?

Friedman: “Now, (Jack) Eichel.”
Bukauskas: “Speaking of Pat Brisson.”
NHL rumors: New Jersey Devils and the Chicago Blackhawks
Friedman: “I, and he is back in the cone of silence. But I think they try it, I think a lot of work is being done now. I think the Golden Knights and, and the representatives are trying to get them done.
And I will tell you what I have heard here, and this is what I have heard. I don’t tell you what I know. I will tell you what I have heard. I heard that in the summer, when they signed Marner, they knew that Eichel would pass him. And I think Vegas was comfortable with that. They recognized the center of Eichel, number one center, Stanley Cup team, very valuable player for them. That he would surpass Marner (Mitch). And I think they were comfortable with that. I think they recognized that, and they were comfortable with that.
Now I will tell you that a few other teams suspected that the Knights wanted Eichel to come in around 13 (million). That they believe that the knights wanted to be stored, such as $ 25 million for Eichel and Marner. And of course they are not there yet. No deal has yet been closed there.
You know, it’s interesting. I had one, you know, a few teams spoke about the (Kirill) Kaprizov and the effect of his deal could have this. You know, I think Eichel knows that he will not get 17 (million). But where is the Sweet Spot? You know, one of the things that Vegas is a state without taxes. Minnesota is a state with a high load. I think that also plays in favor of Vegas. I would suspect that Vegas has the feeling that they are more a destination than Minnesota. So they would probably think that would play in their favor.
NHL rumors: Canadiens, Golden Knights and The Hurricanes
But my gamble is that Vegas wanted to do this for $ 25 million, and I just don’t know if it is done. “
Bukauskas: “Well, when we were in Vegas almost a month ago, it was not the word that things were very, very far apart. So at least you can say that in between and now progress has been made.”
Friedman: “To be honest, I’m not even sure. I just think they think they really work on it. I think Vegas would like to do this and and you know what I want to emphasize, I think I think Eichel’s preference is to be a golden knight at the end of the day.
Do you know what? You know, you know what, you know what a player told me another, a man who is not in both teams.
Bukauskas: “What is that?”
NHL Rumors: Lane Hutson and Kyle Connor Update
Friedman: “He wonders, like the fierce head-to-head rivalry between Edmonton and Vegas, Eichel to (Leon) Draisaitl’s number ($ 14 million) looks.”
Bukauskas: “Ah.”
Friedman: ‘I said, do you report that? And he laughed and he said: “No. “He said, just like, you know, this was a man who was interested in how we talked about how players think.
He said that a lot happens, and he just joked a bit. Such as, he (wondered) about the rivalry of the oilers with the Golden Knights, and those two teams cannot be legitimate against each other. And he just wondered if Eichel looks at Draisaitl and says, “That’s where I am.” ‘
Bukauskas: “I thought it was interesting …”
