Buffalo rejects.

dont match it. let the canes fuxk up their cap with a flat cap lmao. use this picks to OS pettersson or trade for eichel. and than OS necas down the road.

Why would they reject that?

Not enough. Looking for 4 1sts and there’s that much value going to them.

Well, honestly I think they should take that and run (Eichel is becoming harder and harder to trade by the minute) but if you insist, take the 2nd in 2023 and make it a 1st.
Drouin is a top 6 winger and was a 3rd overall pick; that makes your 4 1st.

Pre Surgery ?
No chance in hell

Post Surgery?
Sure 100% a contender would pay that with a Warm Body moved for cap reasons

The longer this Surgery Debacle draw out
The less chances BUF has at landing an elite package

Friedman was saying the goal was 3 first round picks with no offers
It wasnt until BUF started listening to deals without 3 first round picks talks picked up
Surgery pending and any team acquiring him taking on the risk of it going wrong
I just dont see it happening

If its me

Trade for Dvorak this year
OS Necas next year as CAR cant afford him and KK

That will lock up our 4 center line for atleast 3-5 years all young players
Dvorak is the only Center Available better in the faceoff circle then Danault as he's consistent Yearly top 10
Perfect 2nd/3rd line Center to play with Necas

We could afford it as long as Suzuki signs long term
If he signs short term or an Offer Sheet this scenario becomes trickier by 2025 (but Prices deal will be up so manageable ish)

I dont know if the 4 firsts is really the case, but this is drouin, a left handed d that gets to compete with- dahlin, power, hagg, butcher, samuelsson, jacob bryson (young d the team really likes), and ryan johnson. Plus two firsts, probably both late firsts. This has a real shot at being absolutely nothing.

If that's the asking price Buffalo is going to be stuck with an unhappy Eichel for awhile.
