Doing a little bit of digging on this Eichel trade topic, one article that caught my attention had the following:

To Calgary - Eichel
To Buffalo - Monahan, Valimaki, Pelletier + 1st

I think that compensation is steep but fair. Obvious what Calgary gets in the deal. Buffalo gets a legit 1C to fill in until Cozens emerges. With Valimaki they get a potential top pairing d-man who is already an NHL regular. Pelletier is looking like a legit NHLer at some point. The added first to sweeten the pot.

I think I would pull trigger based on being able to keep Gaudreau, Tkachuk, and Lindholm upfront.

Gaudreau - Eichel - Mangiapane
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Dube

The fact Hanifin + Rasmus have taken another step this year softens the blow on the backend, but certainly makes things thinner back there longer term.
