I certainly wasn’t suggesting Dellandrea instead of Hintz, rather adding Dellandrea to the trade

... buffalo fans overvalue Eichel

41 games injured and still put up those numbers.
I think I got every one.
Frist, thank you all for your comments.
Second, Buffalo will not get as much as Buffalo fans think they will get for Eichel, this may be their best offer.
Third, I think Ristolainen and Reinhart will be traded.
Fourth, I do not know what Buffalo will get for Sam and Rasmus, but Lindell, Hintz and Bourque are players that fill the spots opened by trading them, LHD, center and RW.
Finally, I sort of think that it may not be a rebuild (I mean only teams that were successful at one time rebuild) as much as a retool.
The line up may not be this exactly as the coaches will put the players where they wish:
Skinner Hintz Quinn
Olofsson Cozens Bourque (he and Quinn may be ready next year)
Asplund Mittelstadt Thompson
Bjork Girgensons Okposo
Ruotsalainen
Dahlin Miller
Lindell Jokiharju
McCabe Borgen
Bryson/Samuelsson
With six or more picks in the first two rounds this year (additional picks coming from the Reinhart and Ristolainen trades) Buffalo could restock the prospect pool.
If Cozens can grow while Mittelstadt, Asplund and Thompson continue to gel they could still ice a respectable team.
