Quoting: Skyraider112
Eichel is not being traded and he won't ask for a trade. Also he is worth way more than that, don't disrespect him with that offer. You wouldn't trade Zibanejad for Montour, Johansson, Cozens and late 1st and a 3rd would you? Eichel is a much better player than ZIbanejad. (cue angry NYR fans saying otherwise)
I don't think any NYR fan would say that Z is better than Eichel. Definitely not. Zibanejad is elite 1c. Eichel is superstar 1c.
Now, in regards to the trade value, I think you're undervaluing Deangelo, personally. I think converting the 3rd to a 1st makes sense, but beyond that, it would be an overpay to acquire him (which is what it would probably take, admittedly).
And I'll finally concede: Strome needs to be replaced in the trade with Chytil.
And I don't keep up with the Sabres at all, but I thought I had heard Eichel wasn't totally happy...and with them doing silly things like trading for Simmonds, it at least has me thinking: What is the direction of this team? And if I'm thinking it, is Eichel not?
