<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Yeah not enough quality heading to Buffalo for Eichel, quantity doesn't equal quality.</div></div>

Well.. 2 first round picks, 2nd anf 4th, plus a very good Dman and potential 2nd line center, then throw in a wingman capable of helping in every situation and Kulak who's played very well on the dline. You're not replacing Eichel, you can't since no team would trade their big guy for the other team's big guy just for the hell of it. When a big player goes out to criticize to organization, and IF he demands to be traded out, then you need to have "filler" players and some picks for the future. Buffalo is a long way from a good playoff team. With 2 first picks in the next 2 years, you greatly expands the possibility of getting some quality players in the club in the next 2-4 years. Mete will be at his best, Danault will be another good player, Byron will have left and Kulak will have served his purpose until the team build up. You can't expect 4 1st round pick.. No GM will do that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jesus</b></div><div>Now I know this is going to be difficult for you,... but if you were Buffalo's GM,... and your goal was to get the team into the playoffs to win the Stanley Cup which is the goal of every team,... would you trade your franchise centerman and probably the best forward to ever play for your organization to a division rival and have to face him 4 times a year for the next decade for that return?</div></div>

Like I say in the description, this is IF Buffalo go for a trade because of the statements he made. Maybe he demands to be traded out. Giving Buffalo some good players like Danault and Mete, but 2 1st picks is a good trade to rebuild. I understand that he's the best they had in a while, but if he says he wants out.. you need to get some fast return that can play, and some good return for the future. As for the size of the trade, well, that's the answer for the division rivals. Need to compensate that with more.. Hence the 2nd and 4th rounders and some farm team players that could fill in when players get hurt.
