In five years, the odds are about even on whether Buffalo ends up with the best center in one of these deals. Right now Eichel>Kuznetsov>Kotkaniemi>Lapierre. But for how long?

Samsonov and two firsts are padding. Miller for Kulak and Fleury gets Buffalo's defense younger (Fleury) and gets MTL to bite on Kuznetsov by giving them a little more offense so they feel they can make the playoffs and it's worth adding a top center.

Hagelin for Girgensons is about even, but Hags is Swedish and has a Cup ring from Pitt, so the intangibles fit Buffalo better in terms of leadership and language on a young team with a lot of Swedish kids.

Guys in taxi squad are new top prospects.

Short memory. Shocker.

Great question. I just built their side and then also traded them Brenden Dillon for Chiarot and a 2nd, leaving them up against the cap until they traded Seattle a 7th to take Jake Allen. Then they had 2M cap space with everybody healthy, but didn't sign any UFAs, just their RFAs.

Im fine, but that Eichel trade is really lopsided and there is zero chance Kuzy doesnt block a trade to Buffalo

No idea which nine teams are on his no-trade list. No idea whether he gets to change it before he can be traded. No idea whether trading him to one of the 22 teams he's okay with voids the MNTC. As for lopsided, Kuznetsov has three seventy point seasons and is 28. Eichel has one, and is 25. Yeah. It's lopsided. For Buffalo.

you submit a list when you are asked about it.

Eichel is a lot better than Kuzy, don't pretend otherwise

Then as a Calgary fan hoping to score Kuznetsov for Monahan, you don't want to overplay your hand. If Kuznetsov wants a chance at one more postseason between Ovechkin and Wilson, he just has to guess which nine teams want him.

I dont actually want Kuzy for Monahan since I consider it a very slight upgrade that wont actually make the Flames better
