Eichel to blues

Zach bolduc was a 2021 first round pick which buffalo might be interested in
Klim kostin was a 2018 or 2019 first round pick that could be a decent 2nd line or 3rd line player since buffalo isn’t the best
VT was almost a superstar, still could be, comes down to if buffalo takes that chance
1st round pick might end up being around 16-22 cause blues prob won’t get far in playoffs
2nd round pick is honestly anywhere between 30-60 so who knows

Helluva 1st line

Just needs a blue chip asset in the return

Tho maybe the 2023 1st is that

Good on Eichel. We have a really solid team and a ton of center depth already. We're going to need money to resign all our young star players in a couple years. Not comfy with Eichels injury or when he'd return. Bolduc and Kostin seem like they'll pan out to be solid NHL players, we need to start stocking the farm system a bit more. And there's some interesting players who may hit free agency this next couple seasons. Also not sure if this even gets it done, price is stupid high and Vladi definitely would not waive to go to Buffalo lol

What we really need to do is find a way to move Krug I think and pick up a big top pairing shut down D man to play with Parayko and bring Scotty P up to do Krugs job cheaper. Maybe move Scandella too lol I'm fine with Walman and/or Mikkola playing 3rd pairing. This is possible off-season stuff or if it seems like we're gonna miss the playoffs.

Probably and overpay for Eichel. And I’m a huge Eichel fan. A legit #1C.

But Buffalo has little leverage now that the players union is involved. And any team Eichel agrees to be traded to has to let him get the disc replacement surgery he wants. Which puts him on the self for this whole season. You won’t see him until 22-23 season; at best, if everything goes well.

That’s the issue. He insisting he wants the surgery. Buffalo’s doctors say he doesn’t need it and don’t recommend it. Eichel doenst think they have his best interest in mind. Players Union got involved. Eichel had to make all his medical records available to teams interested and any team interested has to agree to let him get the back surgery he wants.

Sucky situation for such a electric player.
