I don't see any connection in some cases. Why are Hamilton and Oshie signing up at Buffalo? ROR trade could have been much better if it hadn't been for the GM idiot and pompous owners.

If we're going to throw all these IFs in there (BIG IFS), you don't get Eichel.

What are the Sabres sending NJ to get Larsson? It would have to have been a pretty decent piece if they were able to get a young Taylor Hall for him. Also if we pick Draisatl there is no guarantee that we finish at the bottom and end up with Eichel

Draisaitl's first year was horrible. We still would have gotten a top pick. Either Eichel or McDavid!!
