NHL Rumor: The Golden Knights may want $13 million, but Jack Eichel may want more
The Golden Knights may have been considering Jack Eichel for $13 million, but will be looking for $14 million
SportsNet: Elliotte Friedman in 32 Thoughts: Podcast – Kaprizov secures a bag that meets the extension on Vegas Golden Knights and Jack Eichel. Eichel will get more Mitch Marner, but the Golden Knights may only hope for more. Can Eichel think of Leon Draisaitl?

Friedman: “Now, (Jack) Ashill.”
Bukauskas: “Talk about Pat Brison.”
NHL Rumors: New Jersey Devils and Chicago Blackhawks
Friedman: “I, he’s back in the silent cone. But I think they’re working on it, I think a lot of work has been done right now. I think the Golden Knight and the Representative are working on it.”
I’ll tell you what I’ve heard here, and that’s what I’ve heard. I’m not telling you I know. I’ll tell you what I’ve heard. I heard that in the summer, when they signed Mana, they knew Echelle would pass by him. I think Vegas is happy with that. They recognized Eichel’s center, the No. 1 center, the Stanley Cup team, a very valuable player to them. He is going to surpass (Mickey) Mana. I think they are satisfied with it. I think they recognize this and they are happy with it.
Now, I tell you, several other teams doubt that the Cavaliers want Eichel to get into about 13 (million). They think the Cavaliers want to put it away, such as Eichel and Marner’s $25 million. Obviously, they don’t exist yet. There is no agreement yet.
You know, it’s very interesting. I know that there are several teams talking about (Kirill) Kaprizov and the impact of his deal might be on that. You know, I don’t think Aichel knows he’s not going to reach 17 (million). But, where is the sweetest place? You know, Las Vegas is one of the no-tax states. Minnesota is a high tax state. I think this is also favored by Vegas. I suspect Vegas thinks they are more of a destination than Minnesota. Therefore, they may think it is good for them.
NHL Rumors: Canadians, Golden Knights and Hurricanes
But my guess is that Las Vegas wants to do this for $25 million, and I just don’t know if that will be done. ”
Bukauskas: “Well, when we were in Las Vegas about a month ago, that wasn’t the word that was then very, very far away. So at least you can say that progress has been made at that time and now.”
Friedman: “Honestly, I’m not even sure. I just think they think they’re really working on it.
Do you know? You know, you know what, you know the players tell me another team, a guy who is not in any team.
Bukauskas: “What is that?”
NHL Rumor: Lane Hutson and Kyle Connor Update
Friedman: “He wanted to know if, like the fierce face-to-face competition between Edmonton and Vegas, let Eichel look at the number ($14 million) of Draisaitl.”
Bukauskas: “Ah.”
Friedman: “I said, are you reporting? He laughed and he said, ‘No.’ He said, like you know, this is someone who is interested in how we talk about the way players think.
He said a lot of things happened and he was just kidding. Like, he (want to know) about the competition between the Oilers and the Golden Knights, and both teams are completely unbearable. He just wondered if Eichel looked at Draisaitl and said, “That’s who I am.”
Bukauskas: “I think it’s interesting…”
NHL Rumor: Rasmus Andersson Will Re-sign with Calgary Flame
Friedman: “Please be careful of that aggregator. Thank you.”
