Eichels trade value

They just overvalue him. His value is not going down as long as he comes back healthy.

If it really is being considered a serious injury, then they should just avoid him altogether.

It may feel like a Win at first if you can get him for a quarter of a dollar. But that $10M Cap hit will do a lot more damage on the back end, especially if the player in question can't play up to it.

The Cap is precious in this league. Shouldn't just give a big chunk of it away for a "maybe still good" player, just because you thought you got a good deal.

Darren Dreger also said "The Sabres received trade interest on a number of players including Eichel"

His price isn't that low. Teams like Minnesota, Vegas, etc will still be interested and could give up more

Friedman also said that Buffalo doesn’t want to bring him back and that he expects him to be traded before the draft. Meaning they won’t have time for him to come back healthy before he’s traded off

The kings had the most trade fire power in the league. Them backing out of the running has a huge effect on what his return will be
