Description

Now do I think Buffalo would trade Eichel? NO! But if they did, and even more unlikely that they would in Division. Would this be enough?
Domi 2C
KK Future 1C/2C
Olofsson Future 3C
Harris Future top 4LD
Brook Future top 4RD
38 OA and 39 OA pick in a strong draft
2021 1st round unprotected
2022 1st round unprotected
This is a lot to give up for one player and most likely still not enough from Buffalo's perspective and a huge over pay from the Montreal perspective. But to get a true 1C and a super star this is what you would need to give up.

I have Romanov starting the season in Laval to get his feet wet, if he proves ready to move up an in season trade of a LD will need to take place to make space.

the picks are 2021 and 2022. MTL could very well be a playoff team with Eichal. Those picks would be in the range of 16-24 ish
