Fair Value from Anaheim? Well lets start with S Steel,H Lindholm,M Jones and L Dostal and first rounders in 2022,2023,2024 and 2025
I truly & sincerely hope that this is the real ask from Buffalo. Really.
Because if this is what they're holding out for, that gives Bob a good belly laugh & a chance to hang up the phone & this ridiculous "Anaheim really needs Eichel" nonsense can be put to bed once and for all.
The Ducks suck at the moment. Adding one, we can even assume that he comes back 100% if it makes you feel better (he probably won't, but we can say he does), elite player isn't going to change the outlook 'that' much, especially, and this is real important here, especially if you gut the team of all the young, really good players/prospects now and moving forward a few years. If you do that you aren't going to be competitive for another 4+ years...right about the time that Eichel's contract is up. So congrats, you just paid $50 million dollars to suck for another 5 years.
I swear, this whole 'Eichel's getting traded to the Ducks' idiocy had to have been started by a Buffalo fan who looked at all the teams, saw the Ducks had both the cap space & a few really good young players/prospects and ran with it. It doesn't matter that the team really has no use for him right now (and again we can assume 100% healthy), it's now 'you got what we want so we're going to push this and push this until you're so confused/fed up that you actually think that it's the right thing to do...'
