But just a month ago every Habs fan wanted him gone???
Might have been when his status was more uncertain. He's talked to media and participated in a golf tournament since then.
There's also the fact that we simply can't trade most roster players as they were recently added and it's not good business to move on from long term commitments within a year or two.
Only Drouin, Byron, Lehkonen, Gallagher, (and Caufield) have been around long enough to consider trading. Two of those aren't likely to move and only one is a consideration to address a need.

I have yet to see a habs fan offer Suzuki or Caufield in an Eichel trade. It’s just been a bunch of fans of random teams trying to stir up ****.
I'm on the record as saying Caufield+ makes sense for a
healthy Eichel. Objectively, his sample size is small and we have Toffoli and Hoffman. The "plus" would have to be lower than the rumored price, but it made sense before the Dvorak trade. Now it's better for us to wait and see how things shake out.
