My guess is Dubois would get a contract in the neighborhood of close to what Eichel is already making, not $10 million but maybe $7 million for five years. Depending on where the Sabres finished this season and when the trade is done, it might not be the worst thing for both teams. I would guess a trade like this would have to happen at the draft or just before, so Eichel’s no trade clause doesn’t kick in yet.
For the Sabres I would fully expect Owen Power to be signed for next season, and whoever they get to draft in the first round could also end up in the lineup pretty quickly. The youth in Buffalo could be competitive faster than people think, if the young goaltenders develop well, especially if they spend their money wisely in the next year or so.
