Ryan Oreilly when he was traded was one of the top 2 way Centers in the NHL and often top 3 in Faceoffs to boot
When he was traded he got Gregernko(KHL),Zadorov ,Compher and a 2nd round pick

Granted Eichel is 2 years younger and a better player but you're not going to get 2-3 top prospects and a couple high picks or nothing .(nor will you get an established player unless he's a #4 D or middle 6 winger.


Ryan Oreilly years late traded from BUF as the #1 faceoff Center and top two way Center for
Sobotka ,Berglund,Thompson, 1st and a 2nd round pick (middle six guy. 3rd line Center undisputed, Top prospect but not the Top )

Domi has 116 points and 45 goals in 153 games at Center with 44% year 1 and 49% faceoff year 2. Domi's currently a #2 Center who's growing into his role with the potential to still be a #1 guy at just 25 years of age. (young star player entering his prime )

Poehling is a solid prospect with Size who's having his first experience with a full hockey season as he trained in USA. He's adjusting physically quite well at the AHL level although not quite ready for the NHL he's similar to the value of Tage Thompson from the Oreilly trade.

Mete is coming off a career year but was pushed out by Kulak and with Romanov here playing him on 3rd RD is just hurting Juulsen and Fleury's development and ice time. He doesnt need to go in this deal i just though it would give BUF a way to either upgrade Mccabe or replace Risto who wants a trade last i checked.(will insert another prospect of similar value if you dont want LD Mete there's Evans our top AHL scoring Center the past 2 years playing solid on call ups or Ikonen who's got skill but honestly has been lost in the shuffle of MTL's prospect depth chart.

1st and a conditional 2nd that becomes a 1st if MTL makes ECF with Eichel.



Even if you dont want to trade Eichel the Value of whats offered is pretty much what you can expect in today's market. Few teams have the cap and the pieces to put together a trade like this so maybe a 3 team trade would be a possiblity .

Either way i think we can all agree this MTL line up is young ,skilled,speedy and a blue line the can bring the hurt while also contributing offensively. Its almost a guarantee that BUF converts on the 2nd round pick if Suzuki and Eichel can click
