Thread: So you think you want Eichel NYR edition
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nikolay_Zherdev</b></div><div>equal value being 4 1sts worth of value...(which they likely wont get) but Schneider, kravtsov , strome, (small prospect) and a 1sts is that</div></div>

Just because a player was picked in the first round doesn’t mean their value is that of a first. I don’t think Kravtsov would fetch a first rounder based off of his play over the past two seasons.

It’s not just first rounders either. It’s the quality of the first rounders. The number 1 pick and the 30th pick are both first rounders, but one is significantly more valuable.

That trade doesn’t give the the Sabres anything to really build on- a middle pair defenseman, a middle 6 winger, a #2 center (who is either RFA’d or can walk after next season), and a low first isn’t worth a superstar of Eichels status.
