Thread: The trade to end all trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CapFriendlysFinest</b></div><div>SO then start with that. You're still getting an amazing top 6 player with another year on his deal after this. TRADE HIM TOO. If you sell Hall and Jack then why not do the same for Johnny? Get more young players and more picks for him. Calgary has one of the weakest prospects pools and Buffalo is already getting their best in Zary. Keep the value with Johnny and flip him for the same. Hell I would do the deal same day as Jack to maximum my value.</div></div>

this trade makes no sense, why not just trade eichel to a team with the prospects and picks you're looking for instead of taking an average first and probily a top 6 center at best prospect then trading johnny for the same thing? the value isn't there anyway you look at it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CapFriendlysFinest</b></div><div>So for everyone asking, you dont want a 27 year old LW nearly point per game player (500 games and 472 points or 0.944 points a game) but MUST HAVE a 24 LW with a much lower points per game (330 games and 262 points or 0.793 points per game) who often hurts the team more with dumb peantiles and reckless attitude?

Look I get it, Tkachuk is the rare breed in the NHL of a scorer and fighter who is a fan favorute, but the idea that Eichl only moves with Tkachuk coming back is laughable. Buffalo has been a losing city for 10 plus years and it is not getting any better. Teams aren't going to shell out their best players for the chance to get Buffalo's best player. Teams look at Buffalo and see a team that NEEDS to make moves, so throwing more and quantity less quality will likely move Eichel faster.

But to say again, to say that Buffalo wouldn't want a superstar in return like Johnny Hockey is laughable.</div></div>

Good thing you're not a GM of a team then, this trade does nothing for Buffalo. Here's a bunch of spare parts for what you called the third best center in the league. Why would a team who would be going into full rebuild want a 27 year old winger who disappears in playoffs and has only been regressing for the past 2 years? it makes no sense.
