Not even close for eichel

if a 1st 2nd top 4 top 6 d 25+ goal scorer with term and good contract a former second overall pick whos young and controlled and needs a fresh start is not even close for an injured 85-90 pt max guy on a crappy rebuilder then youre off your absolute rocker pal

I think the issue with the Courturier trade is the fact he's a UFA after this season and I doubt MIN gives up that much for a guy they could lose after one year. If he was still under contract for a few years then I'd say there's something to work with.

I think what people keep getting wrong with the the Eichel trade is it doesn't make sense for Buffalo to go get players back in the deal. Maybe one ok player to balance out the financial part of it, but Buffalo is planning on going back into another rebuild. The Eichel trades should be largely high pick/top prospects-based.

If Buffalo was looking to compete this probably still isn't great, but it would be a more appropriate type of trade.

As great as courturier is, this wouldn’t happen with him as a rental. Especially the wild adding this much. A hockey trade would be more likey, but based on term the wild would not be adding a 1st and 3rd by any imagination.
