I don't see any way that Eichel trade happens. I was trying to get just Necas two years ago from Carolina for Greenway and a first or Dumba and a first and couldn't get close to him. He's much better now and you're asking for him, Suzuki, and Gardiner and futures? I just don't see it happening.

We’re not trading fleury for a 3rd liner, I love how were giving up the better pick too. Pass

Necas being so damn good, cheap, etc. Piques their attention for sure but it kinda falls apart after that honestly with every late 1sts and a $ unload

I could see Fleury move coming down to money. You guys are always right up against the cap

I think that Dallas would bite on this. Risto could be paired with Heiskanen.

I prefer giving one year money to Risto than to overpaid Oleksiak on a 3 to 5 years contract.

Send the papers to the NHL's offices.
