Ryan Oreilly when he was traded was one of the top 2 way Centers in the NHL and often top 3 in Faceoffs to boot
When he was traded he got Gregernko(KHL),Zadorov ,Compher and a 2nd round pick

Granted Eichel is 2 years younger and a better player but you're not going to get 2-3 top prospects and a couple high picks or nothing .(nor will you get an established player unless he's a #4 D or middle 6 winger.

Eichel to me


Domi , Poehling ,Juulsen and a 1st in 2022 that becomes a 1st in 2021 if MTL makes ECF that year.

you'd be getting way more then COL got for Oreilly .
The only other option i s a 3 way deal to maximize value like Sakic did with Duchene but it will get you mostly picks extra not increased prospect quality

We will get it, I have no doubt about it. He's gone nearly 100 points this season, and he'll be worth more than ROR who traded from Colorado. MacKinnon, Eichel, Matthews are young elite 1Cs who will return a fortune in trade. Your proposal from Montreal is ridiculous.

name an example in context to your statement where a team got a ''kings ransome '' in a trade between 2 teams .

i cant recall a time a franchise willingly pissed off their Franchise player this much
Maybe Kovalchuk ?

Give an example when a team traded an elite and young 1C with a six-year contract, which had its best season in the NHL. I'm not saying that Columbus will trade PLD+ for Eichel or Detroit will trade Larkin+, but our GM should ask for it. Deals will look different with different teams.
