Serious overpay for Eichel.

Saad isn't really what Detroit needs. We're better off with the picks.

Having Lafreniere on an ELC would be more valuable to us than Eichel would be for the next 3 years

You forgot to add in dach, debrincat, and 3 firsts to the wings trade

For the 7482836749201937473827th time, the Red Wings won’t trade draft picks/prospects for veterans

Sabres pass

5 years. I think both teams would be silly to make this trade

No it is not.

Saad is a great player but the offer would be more like WSH/EDM 2nd round pick for him. He’s worth more but doesn’t make sense for us since we are shipping him off to a contender in the hopes of a first round. While our picks are most likely 32OV.

Hawks should stay far away from that Eichel trade. If we get Laf we pick him and its a home run pick. He's exatcly what's missing from the forward group

Fat no from the Kings.

For a team that already has 2 players on 10.5 M contracts and an anchor on the backend with the Seabs contract, yes, it is. I did not say Laf is going to be better, but the fact that this leaves us with a 21 man roster that is still over the limit tells you all you need to know

I actually agree, but going rate for bonafide superstars are four #1's. That's what I used as a guide and didn't want to lose cat

Karlsson, Burns and Jumbo didn't cost four 1st’s. Seguin didnt cost four 1sts, Heatley didnt cost SJ four 1st’s. I think your going rate is just a tad extreme.

Of course this is a case of Doug Wilson a seriously good trade artist and Peter Chiarelli, a seriously bad trade ( and drafting) GM.

That and those traders happened 10+ years ago (ex Karlsson) either way, if you offer sheet a player of his caliber and salary = 4 1st rds. I disagree that laf will benefit us more in the next 3 years. Kane Toews have a 3 year window to be able to contribute at a high level. A rookie who will take 2-3 years or a sophomore that's already carrying a terrible team?
