They accept, then giggle and run away
We may all be surprised by the return for Eakin.
Many teams who need help on the face off will be looking for help at the TDL .
The Caps, Panthers, Knights, Avs and Rangers as a team only win 45.6, 46.2, 46.9, 47.2 and 47.7 percent of their face offs respectively.
I would never presume the return would be this good, nor would I expect the Oilers to one of the teams bidding, but if a cap dump was included a second is possible.
Who thought the return for Ristolainen would be better than what was given for Reinhart?
If Laviolette (Kuznetsov wins less the 43%) told MacLellan he needed Eakin to win the cup, then with a cap dump who knows.
If I were to predict, I could see the Knights needing help with the FO and PK 77.3% wanting a face off center at the TDL.
EDIT:
Remember Mike Weber returned a third at 2016 TDL, then never played another game in the NHL.
Who knows why GM's make decisions.
Maybe Weber always played well against Ovechkin?
It could be the same with Eakin.
