Eichel trade

As a wings fan, I don't think this is close enough to get Eichel. You're looking at:

Raymond/Seider
Larkin/Veleno
2021 1st
2022 1st

as a start, and that might not even do it. Also probably sets the rebuild back a few years to do this. As for the Toronto trade, Ras and Erne both are showing improvement so I doubt Stevie ships them off

I agree with you on this setting back the rebuild significantly. Not a good deal for Detroit.

Oh, on a linguistic note. Shouldn't it be either "Chip off" or Ship out"? Mixed metaphores was a favourite thing of Shakespeare but...

I think this trade is a massive overpayment for Eichel, Veleno and Berggren project to be top 6 guys within the next few years and the two first should turn into a top 6 F/ Top 2 D/ Starting goalie. 4 high end assets plus a 2nd and Tuomisto could get you the entire Sabres team. If I am Detroit I would consider Veleno, 2021 1st and take your pick of another middle tier prospect.

Ship out probably works better linguistically haha

Gotta disagree man, everything from what I'm hearing is Eichel will take what's worth around four 1sts (if Buffalo gets that or not is another story but I'm basing my trade idea off of that)

so a blue chip prospect (Raymond or Seider)
a center to go back to replace Eichel (Larkin or Veleno)
and two 1sts would roughly equal that four 1sts price tag

Eichel is a top player in the league when healthy and to get something like that you have to give up a lot imo
