I don't think he deserves to have his career go wasted playing on a bad franchise with no Leadership from the top to the bottom.
What's your best offer for Jack?
Please, keep in mind we need a Center coming back....

Buffalo trades Eichel and it’s almost certain they take two steps back in this rebuild which has already dragged longer than it probably should have.

You would lose any trade involving him, so why do it?

Better off moving any other pieces off the roster and trying to get it right some how.

I feel like Matthews for Eichel is the only fair trade...

You can't get pieces for talent of his caliber. It's not the case that the sum of pieces equals to the whole.
Yeh....no.

Maybe McAvoy + Debrusk + 1st would be closer? :dunno:

I disagree Sabes a bad franchise
Eichel is young enuf not worth risk of dealing even if overpayment in part with futures w/upside

Now that they have a counterpart 1D

Buf needs to add
they should be dealing futures for known quality commodity like Zib +.

Zibanejad, Vesey, Lindgren/Rykov, 2nd in the next draft. Probably nowhere near enough though

Cliff Pu, your 3 picks back. Ill add in Necas just because Eichel is better than Skinner. Deal?

Matthews aside, why is another team trading their center to Buffalo? It doesn't accomplish anything. This is why major trades usually involve quantity or if they are one-for-one they address positional needs which sometimes works out well (Johansen for Jones) but often does not (Hall for Larsson).

So if Buffalo is trading Eichel (which they're definitely not) then it would be for a lesser center + pieces or for a different position.

Among all the overreactions to last night's game, this may be my favorite. Never gonna happen. Eichel and Dahlin are an incredible pair of building blocks. The flaws in the roster have nothing to do with them. OP, would you tear down the foundation of your house and build a completely new one if your ceiling started leaking?

My best offer for Jack:
Get buffalo a 2c to let Mittelstatd develop into that role
Upgrade D to support Dahlin
Re-sign Skinner
Add depth up front

I'd offer Marner + for Eichel.
Marner could play C, but, when he is on the ice, the C doesnt matter, he just needs to get open near the net
