If you take out Mete and add Romanov, take out Kotkaniemi and add Caufield and maybe they think about it.

Kotkaniemi and Mete are just not needle movers in this trade.

For 1 year of Tartar. Buffalo declines easily.

They’d need a guaranteed young NHL piece and Montreal didn’t offer that. Suzuki+++ in an eichal trade, and even then, buffalo won’t move Eichal unless he asks for a trade

Everybody likes to make the point that "oh, hes going to demand a trade, so buffalo will have to take whatever we offer", which is fine if he literally says, i demand a trade- to montreal. Otherwise, even our incompetent boob of a gm would realize that there are 29 other teams, and im gonna assume take the strongest package available. This isnt the worst proposal ive seen, but its still mostly just quantity and montreal is leaving their best prospect out. I mean, no, but with our gm he might retain half on eichel just because, so who knows.

Habs add Hudson and Sabres add 7th

MTL best prospect : Caufield Romanov Kotkaniemi Primeau are the top prospect after it falls to Ylönen Poehling Norlinder Harris

You're not getting Eichel for those pieces, And once again fat chance of Krug wasting his time in Montreal.

Right, and we have goalie prospects too, so primeau doesnt do much here. Nobody pays premiums for goalie prospects.
