What’s that Buchnevich, Kravtsov, and 2 1st.
RNH big big upgrade over Buchnevich IMO. And anymore than that NYR arnt doing it, they arnt mortgaging their future. What the GM built up and has stock in. And it just doesn’t happen, go back and look at any superstar trade in any sport and tell me one, where they got more than that, yes, some of the prospects or draft picks hit big, but at the time, they we’re just futures. Same as Edmonton. McDavid and Eichel could both have season ending injuries and Edmonton could just miss the play-offs, and get the 3rd pick in the draft, and one of those Edmonton 1st turns into a super-star.
That wouldn't be my offer, but I think that's better than the one suggested above. Buchnevich at the very least isn't a rental like RNH and the Sabres don't have to take back a cap dump (Russel). The other pieces are comparable.
"Anymore than that NYR aren't doing it, they aren't mortgaging their future"... By acquiring a 24 year old superstar Center who is already top 7-8 in the League at his position and is under a fair contract for the next 6 years? Come on, man...
Don't have to look to other sports to find a trade where a player got more than this. Lindros fetched a recently drafted Forsberg, two 1sts and more. Of course it's rare that that much gets traded, but it's also rare that player's of Eichel's caliber get moved; for futures, no less. If he's made available, he'll get a ton.
As for your point about one of the picks possibly winning a lottery and becoming a superstar:
A) Picks can be lottery protected
B) The odds of a pick winning a lottery are slim, the odds of that pick becoming as good as Jack Eichel are even slimmer
C) If that player becomes as good as Jack Eichel, so what? You got the guaranteed player who's prime lines up with your (and the leagues) best player. It's the risk you run.
