No way. No way in hades would I ever do that trade. I hate the idea of condensing your forward depth into less. What has it exactly done for Buffalo I ask. Nothing. Except piss Eichel off. No sir don't like it. Not. One. Bit.
I'm all for moving Gaudreau to get another Center. All for it. But the idea should be to add to Monahan and Backlund, not take one away and have one replace Monahan.
I get Eichel is a better player than Monahan but not so good you add Gaudreau. Man alive we really undervalue our players here. Then you add a 1st!? You trying to give readers an aneurysm or a stroke? Yikes.
