            I think that the price for a top-4 defenseman and top-6 center is at least two first-round values for each. Here, Arizona is getting one first-round pick (assuming it's not in the top 3, otherwise Buffalo doesn't do this), a guy who's spent the entire year on the LTIR list and wasn't more than a third liner to begin with, three unproven and undistinguished youngsters and a second. Frankly, I think you'd be lucky to get either one of those players from Arizona for that package.

            From a contender stand point such as Florida i think they would. It is a very late 1st in a bad draft. If they are all in they are going to do it.

            If it is a top 3 pick i still think Buffalo would make this trade. They cannot afford to wait for their top pick to develop. Eichel is not going to stay they need to be better immediately. If you break the trade down it is not bad. Chychrun or Dvorak for 1-3 overall. That is an overpayment already. Then which ever one for a 2nd, two young prospects (Mittelstadt has been great this year) and a solid bottom role player. Buf could even add more

            Chychrun is not a "top 4 dman"
            He is a 22 year old #1 defenseman signed for 5 more years at an incredible price
            He is going to take a hell of a lot of assets to move

            Just because 10 teams might want him doesn’t mean someone offers a first. Sabres aren’t doing anything this year and everyone knows they are going to be selling. No need to overpay for Hall especially when he hasn’t done much this year. A Second and mid level prospect for Hall (50% retention) should get it done.
