Theoretically: What would you give up to acquire Jack Eichel?

*Caveat: Assuming Buffalo is willing to trade him here and assuming his medicals are fine.

Purely theoretical: Forget the salary cap for a second and forget the probabilities of him actually getting traded here.

What assets would you be willing to give up to acquire Eichel?

I'm curious to see what the vibe would be for Eichel.

Cue the He isn't getting traded here so why even bother asking? people in 3... 2... 1... aaaaand go.
 
Caufield would almost certainly be part of the package.

The only untouchable is Suzuki.
I'm of the same opinion.

I let them take whatever asset they want not called Suzuki. They want Caufield, Guhle, Romanov & one of Norlinder/Harris/Kapanen/Whatever? Have at it.
 
Nobody. What has he won? He's got a broken neck and surgery that nobody's come back from.

Ryan White and a second unless of course we could drag Max LaPierre out of retirement
 
Buffalo has D prospects, they're shitty at G.

3 firsts, Poehling, Primeau and a roster guy for cap reasons (anyone not named Suzuki or Caufield. Anyone).

Stockpiling firsts will allow them to use as trading chips to plug holes. If not, draft material.
 
Wouldnt touch him at all

Wrong player for the wrong team at the wrong time

We need CC and others to play with Jack , not for Jack

Rangers , Kings , etc....have the better asset base to facilitate a trade
 
For Eichel....absolutely you include Cole Caufield

However, i think Molson will tell Bergy to pass because of financial reasons. Molson is probably in no rush to take on a big contract like Eichel or Tarasenko.

Bigger issue who wants to come here even if Jack`s NTC doesn`t kick in yet

Caufield's size may be an issue in terms of his effectiveness. He may just become a power play specialist where he can get more open looks. I'd be fine with trading him if it gets us Eichel.

Cole Caufield might become a 30-40 goal scorer...and we absolutely need that....every team wants that. But a franchise 1C is even more important.

KK wasn't going to be a 1C, so i'd rather take BT (or Q. Hugues as most said).....but Eichel is a 1C, so you take him over Cole C.

There are exceptions to that rule and CC might turn out to be one of them.
