Thread: Hawks best Eichel offer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>Newsflash to all Sabres fans:

You will not get a calibre of prospect/young player like the likes of Kirby Dach, Quentin Byfield, Trevor Zegras, Jamie Drysdale, etc. for Eichel.

Eichel hasn't proven anything anything and he has a long history of injury concerns plus a substantial cap hit and financial contract. Those types of players don't get young, elite potential prospects.

The type of deal you'll likely be getting is what Erik Karlsson got:
1. Middle 6 forward that's young but can help make up some of the cap difference (this was Chris Tierney)
2. High end 2nd tier prospect/young roster player (this was Josh Norris)
3. Mediocre prospect that needs a change of scenery but still has a shot at either a top 6 or top 4 future (this was Rudolf Balcers)
4. A 1st round pick (yes this turned out to be Stuetzle, but that was because San Jose **** the bed in their season with Karlsson, if he's traded before the draft it has a shot to be a top 10 pick otherwise it's likely in the 15-32 range next year)
5. A conditional pick that could turn into a 1st


Teams don't trade prospects like Dach for Eichel. They trade for Eichel to bring in to be a competitive team WITH players like those to create the 1-2 punch down the middle. If you're expecting a player like that in an Eichel deal, you're going to be highly disappointed.</div></div>

News flash: Those teams wont be getting eichel
