So you want something like Johansen, Ekholm, Arvidsson, Tomasino, 2020 1st overall, and a 2021 1st? That goes beyond overpayment. I don't know if even McDavid gets that much in a trade.
No I was thinking more like Duchene, Arvidsson, Josi, Tomasino, 2020 1st overall, and a 2021 1st. LOL.
I was only making the point that the pieces offered do not fit the puzzle.
But your offer is way over the top. I misspoke about Tolvanen he would have been fine in hind site.
I was thinking more like Johansen, Farrance, Arvidsson, Tolvanen, and a 2020 1st. A center, LHD, RW, prospect and first. Two roster players, two prospects and a first.
You are correct the 2 firsts would be too much.
I wonder what Eichel's stats would be if Murray had drafted Draisaitl instead of Reinhart.
I guess I watch Eichel carry an entire team on his shoulders, he has no one even close to his talent on the roster.
He does not skate into a zone with a lot speed as MacKinnon, McDavid or Matthews, but skates under control, waits for a defensive player (often him on three) to make a twitch then he accelerates around him to get a scoring chance.
He seems to do this nearly once a game. He is a different player from the other three.
Also, he does not have a Tavares, Malkin, Toews, Draisaitl, Pasternak, Rantanen etc to take the pressure off of him, as other great NHL players have.
I maybe over stating his worth, but with out him the Sabres are four players removed from an AHL team.
That is a very sad comment to make after missing the playoffs for so many years.
Murray wasted so much. He had picks, prospects and assets to sell. when he was done the team finished last over all four years later.
So as I said, it would take an over payment to pry him away from the Sabres.
