Sabres would laugh in your face with that Eichel trade. Trouba has been decent, but that contract is a massive overpay. So much so, you'd have to pay someone else to take it, regardless how decent Trouba might play. So it make no sense to expect Sabres to basically pay you to take it. IT's the same situation for the Kreider contract. He is good on the powerplay, but meh 5v5, so CBJ (a rebuilding team) would pay you one of their best, young players to take on a bad contract with a guy who is exiting his prime.
Everything else is just weird. The only thing I can agree with is that the Goodrow signing was bad. Good depth player being paid a ridiculous amount and will be bought out in 3 years.
