Sujet: Something has to give
The explanations are deep but,
1. Trading Eichel is gonna need a lot more than a much of maybe's, no matter how many there are. Only Lundqvist comes close to being considered an A level prospect and I think that they need a little more quality, even if sacrificing quanitity.
2. I do not believe that the Oilers will trade away Tyson Barrie, he might be a non-factor on defense but his offensive play is what they need going into the playoffs. I think Edmonton would much rather part with futures if trading hall, and its kind of ridiculous that Hall is getting traded for more in this hypothetical than he did when sent to Arizona considering his value was much higher then.
3. Those seconds would have to be firsts to take on the skinner contract. I personally think that Buffalo needs to do everything in there power to give him a better opportunity to succeed, the talent has to still be there. He scored 40 goal season came when 40% of his offensive ice time came with Eichel and Reinhart. Last season, that group accounted for 10% of Skinner's ice time. His most common linemates last year were Vladimir Sobotka and Marcus Johansson. It's clear Ralph Krueger just doesnt know what he has. The Sabres gave Skinner 9 mil for 8 seasons and then hired a coach who removed him from the line that allowed him to actually do that.
4. That deal involving the Staal's is awful. The Carolina hurricanes are trying to win a cup. They are not trying to win the hearts of their fanbase, the storm surge already did that. Bringing in the Staals to have all 3 on the roster as some sort of publicity stunt is not the type of decision I expect from a team that has the core to win like they do. I get acquiring Eric, but Marc is so much worse than Gardiner. Considering you are downgrading on D, Eric Staal is not worth a 2nd, 3rd, Foegle, a prospect, and a defensive downgrade.
5. Montour is worth more than a 4th. A pick in the early 3rd-late 2nd range is more like him considering its only been 2 years since he was traded for a first and prospect
6. Colin Miller is worth more than a 5th. A mid 3rd is proper value considering its only been 2 years since he was traded for a 2nd and a 5th
