Équipe: 2020-21 Blue Jackets de Columbus

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

The Eichel deal expands on feedback that Buffalo needs a center in return.
Wennberg is solid two way center, a good passer, and would fill in at 2C/3C depth. He is also further along in development than Texier, and Texier is coming off a stress fracture in his back, so it would be less risky from Buffalo's side to take Wennberg.
Also, Stenlund is a center prospect who has been used at wing mostly by the Jackets.
The emergence of Peeke & Berni on the horizon, as well as the depth on defense make giving up Werenski a risk worth taking.

Another option to the Eichel trade could be to include Korpisalo and remove other asset(s) such as one of the 1sts.
