Sujet: Taking Advantage of Bad GMs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>imawesome</b></div><div>Don't know where you got the idea that the Sabres are trading one of the best centers in the league for a slightly overpaid 3rd defender at best and two middle 6 centers just because they don't have the best GM in the league.</div></div>

When the Ducks were good Lindholm was a top 10 defender in the league in driving play (CF% and xGF% and defending. Since Ducks started sucking he has been their best player and still is in the top 30 D (over 3500 TOI) of the NHL for driving play. He is undeniably a top-pairing defender. Henrique over the past two seasons, on a garbage ANA team, for C's (1000 TOI) was at the very edge of the top 30 Cs for driving play and average 25 goals per season on one of the worst offensive teams in the league. Steel is a highly-touted prospect, probably the Ducks 3rd behind Zegras &amp; Drysdale.

By no means am I saying BUF should make this trade, or even trade EIchel. But if they do, this is the type of trade they will get. But to say they're getting a 3rd defender and two middle-six Cs isn't true. They get a top pairing D, a 2nd line C and a prospect who's probably 3rd in their depth chart behind Cozens &amp; Quinn.
