A "possible" Selke winner for a "possible" Hart trophy winner.. I think I know who I take.
You don't get Eichel without giving up something good. Prospects are one thing, but you can bet you're money they're gonna want something that's more of a sure thing like a young player like Eriksson Ek. It's funny how people on here are cause of you were a Sabres fan you'd be saying you'd want or need Eriksson Ek in any Eichel deal. But your bias because he's had a good season after a few years before where people questioned if he'd ever develop. 1 season and Wild fans think he's a Selke nominee? Sorry but he's not even a top 10 defensive forward. He's good, yes. But he's not an elite defensive guy. & you can find someone to replace him easily. Guys like Eichel don't come around too often and Wild fans expect to give away virtually nothing to get him. That's the clown part LOL

Yes, he very much is a possible Selke nominee. Sorry, to break the news to you. If you did read what I posted then your choosing to gloss over the fact moving Eriksson-Ek is counter productive when the goal is winning a cup.
Dumba - top 4 rhs defenseman
Rask - center and cap dump to equal out JE's $10M
Boldy - #2 Prospect and a top 50 prospect in the league
Khovanov - center, top six potential, #5 Wild prospect
2021 1st (PIT or MIN)
2022 2nd (MIN)
Sabers are getting a pretty good haul there for a guy that needs experimental neck surgery, is a massive risk to acquire, and if things go south could wind up being a $10M paperweight. Oh yeah, and who also wants the **** out of Buffalo.
