Thread: Eichel to MTL counter
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Scabitant</b></div><div>Toffoli has pretty high value with his contract, and Buffalo needs a C in return ... plus some picks to help sweeten the pot.

Really hard to move Toffoli the way he is playing, but if you want to get something, you gotta give something! Decent chance Toffoli's value is never higher than it is this off-season too.

Montreal has to let Tatar and Danault walk. Poehling, Evans, Mysak, Fleury- or players with similar ELC cap hits have to fill out Montreal's bottom end. They have 2.5-3M cap space with those rookies in place, if they resign Armia at 3M, and Lehkonen at his QO rate.</div></div>

Make it a first and Romanov (instead of KK and a second), and I think this could be done. MTL needs offense to go with Eichel, and BUF needs a guy who can score and better D. I know MTL fans don't want to wind up with another Drouin / Sergachev situation, but I think this is better for both, since Romanov won't be top four for the next couple years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Scabitant</b></div><div>You are right, I didnt consider the term properly in that regard at all! As for Dadonov, its just a different take, I like him but I thought he would have fit better. All they would have to do is sign Mete before the draft date for those 3 dmen to be an option though, it doesn't seem too far out of the question.</div></div>

Why would they protect Brown OR Zaitsev over Mete? Mete is miles better than either, and definitely gets taken, when the other two definitely do not.

Also I think Dadonov is gonna be completely fine. He spent most of this year with White and Paul, which just wasn't a role he's going to be effective in. It's been a nightmare season by his standards, but he's still on pace for 20 goals in a full season. Next year he's probably going to start with Tim Stützle, who I think is going to break out BIG next year. All the tools are still there with Dadonov, and I don't think he could replicate the abysmal assist numbers if he tried. I do have <em>some</em> concerns about who the C is on that line though. White would be fine, but I don't love it, Pinto is the highest skill option but I don't know that he's ready for that, and Tierney probably isn't on the team next year. I actually kinda think they should kick tires on Sean Monahan.
