Eichel isn’t getting traded, especially not for that. Nolan Patrick’s value has never been lower, and Casey Mittelstadt has finally come to play in Buffalo. He’s surpassed Patrick on the ice and seems to have good chemistry with his line. The Sabres really have nowhere to put Nolan Patrick if he were traded here. JVR is a cap dump, and Buffalo already has a 2 year noose with Okposo to deal with. Prospects are all well and good if they pan out, but a healthy Jack Eichel is not the kind of player anyone trades away.
