Ok bud. McAvoy is one of the top 10... top 15 at very worst. If you don't think so, you aren't paying attention. He is the #1 on more than half the teams in the league. Including the best overall record Bruins.

As for Krejci: Season aVg 65 ppg -- Career avg 62ppg (Pretty consistent over 900 games) The best player he has ever played with was a 39 year old Iginla. He does not play with eilte talent but still manages to put up very impressive numbers.

Krejci would be the number one on 10+ teams in the NHL right now. Fact. I also never called him a 1c (although he really is). You should probably pay more attention to more the rest of the league.

He has outpaced in pts - Johanssen, Duchene, O'Reilly, Zibinejead, Domi, Larkin, Monahan, Karlsson.
He is about 5pts behind - for career - the likes of Getzlaf, Kopitar Staal & Toews.

That is 1st line company & he has done it with not a lot of help, He doesn't get 1st PP time on a very good PP so he doesn't see a lot of time. He doesn't play with Marchand or Pastrnak. He is very similar to Backstrom, he just hasn't had OVI - As I said, the best players he has played with are 39 year old Iginla, Horton or Debrusk.

it's not hometown bias. it's reality. He isn't better than Eichel, or Bergeron or half of the other #1 Centers in the league, but he is right there with the second tier #1 centers. I'd say he is a top 25-30 centers now - not projections, not drafting - Obviously Jack Hughes is more valueable, but he's not better, not yet.

He has also led the playoffs in scoring twice. Yes, Twice. He is a +133 for his career.

Sorry Dude. It must really suck to have to watch the sabres year after year.

It’s amazing that you use so many words,
yet manage to say so little

Your hometown bias is immense
And Eichel isn’t getting traded for anything like this
He’s just not
You’re wrong
Take the L (for losing, to the Lightning, again) 😂😂😂

i mean i just read a few of these comments. You guys are all kidding right. I HATE ristolainen. I think hes not even worth the dump i took yesterday. you would be lucky to get a 1st back, to even mention bergeron in these discussions is a laugher. 2nd, while yes krejci being 34 doesnt add significant trade value studnicka more than makes up for it. Right shot DMEN are valued so much higher than anything in the league outside of goalie. Mcavoy is a racehorse being held back because chara cant skate. wait till next year when chara is gone. i feel this is actually more lopsided in buffalos favor. im not trading a bunch to get eichel when we can just sign him in a couple years after he leaves buffalo.

You do know they have made it further than the Bolts right? They beat the lightening on their way to the Cup in 2011 and the lightning were blown out of the water by CBJ last year. They have literally beat them in the playoffs once. Once.
Absolutely no bias. There really isn't. I like how I use actual facts (stats) to prove my point and you use emoji's. There is no loss to be taken bud, good effort though. Can you tell me how I am wrong in saying Krejci would the #1 on ten or so teams?

I don't want eichel he is overrated. He doesn't care about winning and has never won anything. That will not change. I have explained the basis for the trade, but you won't let it go because you realized you had no idea what you were arguing about. 343 regular season games. ZERO. NONE. ZIP. ZILCH. NOT ONE playoff game. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

not going to change with him making 10m per either.
19m for skinner and Eichel
19m for Bergeron, Marchand & Pastrnak.

ahahahahahah

You are the one who hasn't actually said anything because you have nothing. Just emoji's. LOL> or sorry...

Keep dreaming
You’re not getting Eichel
Krejci is not a 1C
McAvoy is not a top10 defenseman
You’re ridiculous
And this trade is brutal
Never, ever happen... NEVER
