I think you are overpaying, and I am one of the minority that thinks we really need a 1c

Alright well from someone who has watched both play I believe peterka will be better than krebs, so that change can be made lol
Include Krebs over Peterka, everyday of the week.
That is a HUGE over pay.
Barzal is certainly dynamic, but 22 goals is his best season and since reaching 85 pts in his first full year he has yet to exceed 62 in any of the next four.
I would not give up more than we got for Eichel who has a much better resume.
BTW Tage Thompson had more pts last year than any year the Barzal had other than his first year and had only 3 fewer goals than Barzal's best two years combined.
While Buffalo does not have any elite players, they currently are projected to have great depth which could make up for lack of an elite player.
This gives up depth for a player only moderately better than Thompson.

...The isles aren’t trading Barzal, but one of Krebs,Savoie would need to be included in the trade
You can have Krebs over Peterka no problem.
Lamoriello would fall out of his chair if this was offered to him.
Olofsson is avg. 24 goals/82 games over his career, Barzal only 21.
Last year after Olofsson's wrist healed, over his final 34 games he had 15 goals, or 36 goals over an 82 game season plus 13 assists for 28 pts or 68 pts over 82 games.
This is not to say Olofsson is better than Barzal only he is a top 6 LW.
Peterka is projected to be a top 6 winger.
Johnson is projected to be a top 4 D-man.
Then a first and a second.
Thank God Karmanos would never make this trade, this would be the second coming of Tim Murray trading away picks and prospects only to prolong the rebuild.
