Not close for Eichel. Buffalo isn't going to take back two guys who are older than Eichel unless they are cap dumps accompanied by serious draft picks above and beyond the Eichel value. If the Panthers trade for Eichel, I'd be surprised if they managed to hold onto Verhaeghe and Tippett.

That doesnt get Eichel or Ekholm

You know this isnt close, right? A 34 year old winger, a left d (i mean of course, isnt there always?), and a first that isnt in 22 (yeah we already have it, still), and heponiemi. Thats pretty awful.

What makes you think we need Gudas, or can even afford him lol

Well if we want to destroy our depth for the next few seasons, sure lol!
Bad plan

Are you being serious here

They just gifted you Eichel for 1/2 his actual cost

Hornqvist and Forsling very replaceable thru FA

Not anywhere close on that Ekholm deal— really, really underwhelming return there for NSH.

I'm assuming hornqvist is included just to offset Eichel's $ but it really underscores how bad the return is that he isn't a fit for their timeline at all

I guess they could trade deadline him at 50% ret...

Anyhow it's just very inadequate

Hornqvist wouldn't waive. Do Gudas, Vatrano, 2023 1st, Lundell, Denisenko for Eichel once he's cleared medical and is back in full form

dude we cannot afford this lol
3 10 million dollar players
