PLS RATE AND ADVICE

For Buffalo to send Eichel to a division rival in the Habs, I think the conversation now starts with Caufield.

Anaheim declines. We may desperately need offence, but giving up 34OA to see if they can squeeze it out of him, especially when the team won't likely be in contention until the contract is up.

Most I'd give up is a mid-tier change of scenery prospect, and even that seems stiff considering they're doing you a favor by getting his contract off your books.

Gotta think if we return to normal divisions next year Sabres don't want to deal Eichel in division. If they did, they'd have to get an insane package. I don't think this is enough.

Drouin at this point is virtually valueless. You'd probably have to pay to move him to get rid of his cap, because it's a total question mark why he's out. And considering Habs are close making the SC final just after he left the team, I'd have to assume he is a negative locker room force, although this is just conjecture. But Habs as a team started playing better after he took leave of absence, so he's not really that desirable of an asset.

I think Kulak is ok. Think you could get a late round pick for the guy.

Larsson and Heinen rights for Drouin?

Yeah, I'd be Ok with that.
