Assuming Eichel's injury/surgery poses no impact to his game, getting Eichel on the Habs turns them into a Stanley Cup favorite over night and that is going to cost you big time. Most teams competing for a playoff spot are too close to the cap to afford him and would probably need to make some cap dumps to make it happen, or give Buffalo incentive to take some bad contracts off your books.
My point is for a team like MTL, it's worth it to go big on him and sacrifice some major future pieces. Eichel makes you guys dangerous for a very long time.
Think Jesper, two 1sts and Ghule.
You already have some solid young players making their way, so you can be in a position to get rid of some major futures for a player that makes you probably one of the best teams in the league overnight.
