RNH has one year left on his contract, they don’t need any defenseman prospects, and that 2020 first round pick will most likely be late pick. No thanks.

Sabres only move Eichel if he demands a trade out.

The Sabres let go of something like 22 hockey ops people in one day, which I think is some sort of terrible record. Seems like a scorched earth restart to me. I can't see Eichel being very happy to stay and play through it all. As for your deal, it's not bad, but I'd agree with those above that see RNH's contract status as a potential issue to this deal.

Yup. Won’t happen this year. If they miss the playoffs again next year... then maybe he could demand a trade

The offer is bad RNH has one year left on his contract. The first round pick will probably be a late one, plus they don’t need anymore defenseman prospects, they need forwards.

What? Nuge, Bouchard, 1st round pick In a deep draft, Puljujarvi which could turn into a good player for one player named Eichel. No thanks I pass. Bouchard is going to be a future top 4 for us, we resign Nuge to play in the second line, get a really good winger with that draft pick to play with McDavid. And who knows maybe Puljujarvi will decide to come back if he doesn’t get traded to play on the second line in the future.

Nuge is an average 2C and has hot and cold patches.

Bouchard LOOKS like he will PROBABLY be a top 4 guy.

Puljujarvi looks as though he might never put on an Oilers jersey again.

And a pick in the 20-25 range isn't amazing.

Jack Eichel IS a Franchise Centerman

Eichel already talked with Adams and he isnt going to demand a trade.

Ok, ok. Eichel is good but not Franchise. Nuge was playing good with Draisaitl and Yamamoto, pick 20-25 can still be good, you know you can get a really good player with that. Puljujarvi could stay with Edmonton, but ya will probably get traded.

If you don't think Eichel is a Franchise player you didn't watch him at all the last 2 seasons.

Also. If Edmonton were to make this trade they would have McDavid, Draisaitl, and Eichel all coming into their prime at the exact same time. That forward group would be unstoppable

In my opinion Eichel is definitely Elite, but I don’t think he is Franchise
