<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drmantalban</b></div><div>If Fiala were traded for a single 1st rd pick, it would be a terribly lopsided trade. So considering him 1 of the 4 1st equivalents is just a bad take. This is 6 1st equivalents.</div></div>

this is what i dont understand. so they want 4 for Eichel, maybe a little high but still fair. Rossi, Boldy, and either PIT/MIN 1st are still only one a piece so thats 3. i'll give you fiala is closer to 2 firsts, fine. we add in a 2nd round pick and a mid level prospect or even low salary roster player like bjork/tage to equal one 1st combined. "5 firsts" going each way. the mind blown nature of seeing Rossi Boldy Fiala and a 1st (that isnt even that high) for Eichel (Eichel + in this case). i dont think many people (buff/minn/neutral media) would be saying one side fleeced the other if a trade looked like that

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I refuse to accept discounting picks in this year's draft on the specious "theory" that there are no stars in it.

You make the point I was trying to make in a different way: Comtois and Olofsson are a distraction, inasmuch as you guys value the latter more than the former, whereas we're much happier to have the former than the latter. So this trade still boils down to Zegras, the third overall selection, Terry and Henrique for Eichel. That's not a sensible deal for a rebuilding team; it just turns Anaheim into Buffalo West.</div></div>

I'm just glad this sparked the conversation it did. i think realistically the value we're looking at here is Zegras, 3OA, Comtois and Henrique is pretty close to market value for just Eichel. The 4th and Olofsson plus adding in Terry i saw as a way to give the Ducks a little more to work with, and alleviate the Sabres from their surplus of left handed forwards
