I too wish that I could build my team by underpaying for players...You're getting a very highly rated prospect by trading Buch, and not giving up a highly rated prospect in the Eichel trade.
LAK declines-Regardless of their C prospect depth, they'd be much better off just moving one of them to the wing, no?
Buffalo declines-If Stome is worth a 1st, trade him and flip the pick to the Sabres. No reason for Buffalo to do all the work, especially if there isn't a high end prospect going in their direction. I'd also say that it has to involve Kakko, but there's not a lot of point arguing about an Eichel return right now.
Anaheim politely declines: I just don't really see a point bringing in Georgiev. Stolarz has been fine, and deserves a shot at the backup spot. Plus, he's a lot cheaper. If Seattle pulled a shocker and picked Stolarz, I'd consider it, but with the position the team is in right now, I don't see a reason to invest in the backup position when they've already got someone there.
