Don't worry. You're not getting eichel.
Buffalo fans "Eichel is worth three first round picks, two players picked in the top five, two blue chip prospects, and a top six forward and a top four defensmen"
You guys are trying to trade him off potential that the team hasn't even tapped into yet. However, you have:
1)failed to put a team around him for five years
2)finished in the basement almost every year since drafting him
3)with that being said not had a winning record since drafting him
4)no idea what asset management is
He absolutely could be a perennial 100pt or more player, not with the Sabres. The funny thing with that though... you have to trade him somewhere to see, 'cause it ain't happening in Buffalo; and no one is giving that lot up on the "chance" that he's that good on their team. If anyone gets him, its Los Angeles or NYR. To be honest, NYR is better off with their future potential than they are trading it away for a high priced player. To take it a step further... Buffalo isn't in the drivers seat here. They're absolutely atrocious right now. Teams know Jack is frustrated, and again.. hasn't publicly said it but probably wants out. That combined with an unbelievably terrible season is only going to make his value drop; especially if other teams know that.
So.. Yes, someone is gonna get Eichel, and whether you want to believe it or not; NYR is in the best position. Just ask DQ
