Sadly Eichel won't get a return of what he is worth.....as he is a franchise player, he is worth way too much

prob 2 1st's, high end roster player and top prospect or 2...

That from the Jets would be like- Connor, Vesalainen, Samberg and 2 1sts

Watch out, Sabres fans will flip out over this. I did one with the Bruins and offered McAVoy, Studnicka and Krejci(flipped for 1st) and 2 firsts, and you would have thought I pooped in their soup.
According to them the only valid deal would be: Connor, Morrissey, Niku, Heleybuck, Laine, Schiefele and the next 12 1sts.

Or their Franchise forward says. "This team stinks, I want to win, trade me - why did you pay/sign Jeff skinner with a career high of 63pts to a 9 x 8 contract"

You have a point there but what I’m saying is he won’t be traded but if he does it won’t be for a while

As I said, he is worth more to their franchise then what other teams will pay...Check our Gretzky's return from LAK...it sucked but thats the way it goes with a player like that

The return for Gretzky didn't suck at all. It didn't work out in the long run but it was looked at as a haul when it happened. Jimmy carson was a 55 goal 107 pt sophomore season the year they traded him. Carson, gelinas, 3 1st rounders and 15 million dollars isn't nothing.

It was not just Gretzky in the deal either. Mike Krushelnyski and Marty McSorley went to.

Krush was worth a 1st+

McSorley was worth a 1st.

So Great one essentially went for Carson, 1st, Gelinas and cash.

They should Trade Eichel and try to get rid of the contract of skinner (that's a none sense contract). Lot of team couldn't afford both contracts but if They could have a really good return… and save lot of money

Mcsorley was never worth a first , he's a goon , a first rate goon but that's it. Krush too wasn't worth a first , no way. He had 1 real good offensive season but he was a 50 pt player which back them was hardly uncommon. He was a sidecar on those Edmonton teams.

K avg 63 pts per 82 for his career. McSorley was a goon, he was also Gretztky protection which was worth quite a bit and was one of LA top d men. Had 71 goals in 8 years there. More than just a goon.

Switch it to McSorley being worth Gelinas.

Any way you slice it it was a light return for the best player in the history of the league.

La blowing the picks and Carson taking a dump made it even worse.

Great for Carson and 3 1sts and cash would have been at least passable. Adding in the rest. Nah.
