For ppl making these trades, think back to what the original ask was from Columbus for Nash (multiple of kreider, stepan, mcdonagh and del zotto) and they didn’t get a single one of them. They got Dubinsky who was a 2/3c, Anisimov who was an upside 3c, erixon who was a 21 year old former first round pick playing in the ahl, and a 1st rounder.
The equivalent of that is essentially Strome, Chytil, hajek, a 1st and 3rd rounder (since hajek was a 2nd round pick I threw in the 3rd as well)
Nash was 25/26 at the time of the trade and had 5 30 goal seasons and 2 40 goal seasons. Also had multiple seasons above 60 points. Very good comparable for eichel with the only difference being eichel is a center.
He requested the trade (which is also the only way eichel will be traded) which lowered his value a bit. A return of Strome, kravtsov, Lundkvist and a 1st is a lot more than the return Nash got and is very close to the rumored asking price of 4 1st rounders (or former first rounders). I doubt anyone beats that in terms of the quantity of quality. Now if LA offers up turcotte or byfield, they obviously won’t have the other pieces on top so it’s up to Buffalo what they’d prefer. Since no trade has been made yet, I don’t think LA offered either of them.
