Aho is still the first line center?

SAT analytically was the best line in hockey after they were put together, you do not break that up for McDavid because all 3 were red hot before the stoppage.

Would bean over keane help?

Fair enough, but this trade package is really bad.

Idk, they're about the same value-wise, I just couldn't remember if BUF has 5RD and 2LD or 5LD and 2RD.

This offer sucks

You're not getting a core player from a contender for him. What would you want in this package?

That’s why Eichel isn’t getting traded he’s a top 10 player making 10 million for 6 more years. No team will give two core players, draft picks and prospects.

This is literal all garbage. Tf you mean? Taking on that Skjei contract? Nino is garbage. Keane is blocked, Suzuki is a late first rounder and you throw in late firsts and 2nds.

Nino plays one of the best defensive games in the NHL, and has 20 goal upside. Skjei has had great offensive numbers this year, and over his last 3 years. Keane is expansion draft exempt, not blocked. He's also a first-year pro, and you get unprotected picks. What more needs to be added? I'm not saying the values perfect, I'm saying this package is better than you credit it for.

You're not getting A core player let alone 2. If Eichel wants out, this is the kinda package you'll get back. I've tried to address as many needs as I can (I actually should have swapped Keane with Bean because I know you have WAY too many RD).

This deal doesn’t land Eichel. Teravainen or Pesce or Slavin would have to be in the deal as well. Niederreiter had a down year Skjei is terrible. Awful deal. People are forgetting that Eichel is an elite top 5 forward in the league. He is game changing super star level elite. If a team wants him they need to expect to have to spend core top players to get him.

If you’re not sending a core player then you can forget it. You won’t get him, period.

Think any deal for Eicher would start with Aho.

Then you don't watch Aho or Eichel. Aho > Eichel

If he's truly sick of losing, he won't be in Buffalo for long. No one is going to give up a core piece for someone who wants out of another team, even when their as good as eichel. Look at what you gave up for EK, and he was the best d man in hockey.

Erik was 27 I think when we acquired him. Eichel is 23 and he is not going to Carolina unless they’re willing to send Turbo or Slavin or Pesce as part of a package deal. It’s that simple.

Slavin holds more value than Eichel straight up. This proves you really know nothing about Carolina or the hurricanes in general. I strongly suggest rechecking some numbers. This may be a mistake, but Slavin has the best xGA in hockey, he's got one of the best successful zone entries across the league, and has soldified xGF numbers. he's one of 5 players to appear in the top 10 across all 3 zones, the others are Parayko, Hedman, Hamilton, and Pietrangelo.

A player that wants out of a franchise doesn't get a core player back. It's that simple, look at any trade ever involving young players wanting out of a losing franchise.

Not a chance. Aho goes back in any package for Eichel.

I stopped reading at “Slavin holds more value than Eichel”. Hey I love my sharks players too and protect them often on here but I would never say Couture is better than Eichel or Hertl is better than Eichel. When you can see the absurdity in that I will continue this conversation.

I am a big Slavin fan. Great American dman and very underrated but I’m taking Eichel over him ten times over no hesitation.

Slavin is an elite LHD but Eichel is a young elite C. Eichel is more valueable.

Slavin is a top 5 D man league wide. Eichel *might* be a top 25 forward.... you keep the D man all day long.

Then ur not getting eichel it’s that simple
