Solid input from both of you.
I am a Sabre fan here and think this would be the MAX that Buffalo could expect in an Eichel trade.
Quoting: mvp13
Any team trading for Eichel will be giving up 4 or more pieces... some extras here for the other guy...
Quoting: tsyls
Buffalo isn’t going to want 6 different players. They’ll want 3 or 4 at most that are of quality. That’s the issue. I thought the asking price for Eichel was something like:
One young C Chytil, Filip
A Prospect Kravtsov, Vitali
B prospect Jones, Zachary
1st round pick 2022 1st round pick (NYR)
Salary back Strome, Ryan
If Hájek and 2022 2nd round pick (STL) are for Miller, Buffalo would be crazy to say no.
Likely don’t need to send as many pieces. I’m sure something like Chytil + Kakko + Schneider + Strome + 2022 1st would do it.
IMO, Buffalo would kill to get this return.
I hope we can agree on this.
While Buffalo does not need D-men prospects, I think without Ristolainen, Miller will get more PP time and could return to his previous offensive output then the Sabres could flip him at the TDL.
TBH, I think Girgensons would be included in the trade instead of Miller.
I understand the Rangers are looking to add some grit to the bottom 6.
I am probably rating Zemgus too high but the 2022 2nd would be close to his value.
