Nope. Needs Rossi/Boldy

Okay, then BG just says no. Buff is losing leverage by the day.

Did you read his title and description? It’s very clear what is being speculated on here. MIN bowed out of the Eichel sweepstakes because the ask is too high. He’s trying to mock up what he believes Minnys ceiling is.

And still that is too mich for Eichel

Min is way too high on Fiala. He is a good top 6 winger. Literally every team has a Fiala.

Very few teams have an eichel.

The dude is a top 5 Center. Young. And under contract.
There is no scenario where Eichel is traded for anything less than a kings ransom.
Any playoff team that acquires him is going to be an instant contender. Of course at the price of the prospect cupboard and picks.

“Every team has a fiala” that is very debatable, Fiala is a game breaker who’s played with bad line mates the last 2 years and has still produced.
Eichel is not a top 5 center, McDavid, Leon, Crosby, Mackinnon, Matthews are better. I would say Barkov is better as well. So he’s the 7th best center in the league, with a major neck injury, who’s team wants a king ransom for him but yet refuses to give anybody access to his medical records. Again Gurein and any other smart GM isn’t going to trade the world for Eichel without getting a look at his medical records. Until BUF allows that this trade is probably the best they will get.

I would argue Leon piggybacks on McDavid. But different argument for a different day.

At worst case he is 7th best. But younger than everyone on that list.

I would think that when a deal is close then that team would have access to records and physical.
This neck thing I believe has been blown out of proportion as it seems like more of a powerplay to get out of Buffalo than an actual lingering issue.

I would like to think that as well, but if nobody has seen the medical records yet then that means Buffs ask is way too high. Buff also needs to consider that his NTC (Might be a full NTC/NMC or a 10 team I can’t remember) kicks in after this year which further complicates things. I think that yes Eichels true value is higher, but teams can see the situation and want to make the best deal for themselves.

For sure. Every team is trying to get the upperhand. The NMC isn't until Jul 1st next year so realistically they could hang on to him during the year and trade. But if eichel wants out that bad he would accept a trade to any team not buffalo so I'm not too worried about the NMC to be fair.
I think the trde has to revolve around some futures and some cap dump nhl players to get it done.

I agree, the trade will be interesting to see what he’s moved for if it ever happens
