Reasonable value-wise but if not sure if Buffalo wants to sign up for that Gibson contract considering his past few years. And if Eichel goes, Reinhart goes.

Not that the Sabres are any better than the Ducks at this point but it seems Gibson still puts up solid underlying number with a sub par defense in front of him plus he is still young for a goalie. I could see GMKA taking a swing at bringing him in so he has a solid goalie to lean on while their two prospects continue to develop in net. I also don't think Reinhart being traded is a sure thing. It's believed that people were reading to much in to his post season media interview and their may still be a way to rebuild that relationship. I won't be surprised if he is moved, but don't count him coming back completely out.

This essentially makes the Ducks worse but they just have Eichel now. Gibson is practically our entire team, Comtois is our best winger and 3rd OA would just destroy us. No chance the Ducks do this. If some way they do move Gibson, they send him to a contender

Boy, some of you Duck fans think you can get Eichel without giving up anything. I have managed a way to work a trade that doesn't involve Zegras or Drysdale. Something has to give if Anaheim wants Eichel.

Half of us dont even want Eichel because of his price. Logical Duck fans realize it would hurt us more than help us to trade for him.

Your premise is wrong: NONE of us Anaheim fans thinks that we can get Eichel without giving up very significant assets, which is why none of us are hoping for an Eichel-to-Anaheim trade. For example, here we're giving away a franchise goalie who ensures that we will have no concerns over that position for the next six years (value = 2 first-round draft picks), a former first-round pick who is our projected #3C for several years (value = less than a first-round pick), our leading scorer from last year, anticipated to be our #1 LW for the next half-dozen seasons (value = more than one first-round pick), and the third overall selection in this year's draft (value = 2 first-round draft picks).

unfortunately, Buffalo has the golden goose that has fallen into the oil.
return on Eichel will be a disappointment for Buffalo fans.

While the front office clearly wants him out there are still quite a few teams interested per many big name insiders. Which will keep his value on par with or maybe slightly less than what I have proposed. Neck injury scary, for sure, but he is still very young and under team control for 5 more years.
