What would the top 9 look like?
Gaudreau Eichel Dube
Tkachuk Backlund Mangiapane
Lucic Bennett Leivo
Gross.
Still a massive weakness on the right side, less C depth all while weakening the back end as well.

I agree. The price is too high IMO, but that is what it is going to take to get Eichel or a similar level player. The cost is going to hurt to the point that the team may not want to pursue the trade. I think we have the pieces to make the deal, I just don't think we should make the deal based on the cost. I know people are going to dream up some stupid trade proposals where we send 10 draft picks and five prospects, but you have to ask what the Sabres are going to accept. Lottery tickets isn't getting this done. Teams are going to have to cough up proven quantities and a lot of them. I see this as the model for a deal and what Calgary would have to cough up to get Eichel. If I were GM I wouldn't do it.
