"Eichel wont be traded within Divison"
I remember fans said this when they shopped Vanek
They got Moulson (coming off 3 Thirty Goal Seasons ) ,1st (colin white) , 2nd (Brendan Ghule)
No one at the time was offering an Established 30 Goal Scorer , 1st and a 2nd so BUF took the deal.
It kinda back fired on them as Moulson was really effected by NHL Rule changes and the speed of the game increasing as such but is still a top AHL guy.(skilled but slowwww)
My Point is BUF sells to the highest bidder period
They cannot afford to do anything less especially with Eichel
Beyond that MTL and BUF anymore then we play TBL
We've still made different trades with them over the years big and small
FFS OTT and MTL play against eachother more then anyone and we trade among one another.
This 'dont trade in the division ' dates back to before the Cap Era made it irrelevant.
Its not like you can stock pile teams like DET,DAL and COL did to end last century and start this century.
Today its about who can afford his cap and of those 8 teams who has the best offer
