Otherwise this team will just continue to wander aimlessly in mediocrity. They need an elite top centre. If they can lock in that player, all the other pieces are in place. Valimaki will be the top LHD, Andersson the top RHD, and 2nd pairing defenceman are easy to find every summer. It’s easy to fill spots 3-6 on the defence through free agency. Gaudreau, Mang, Lindholm, and Chucky are fantastic top six wingers. Monahan would be a good 2nd line centre. So how do you get the elite #1 centre? Pay the price to acquire him.
Get Eichel.

I agree but that's still overpayment and more than it would take IMO.
I imagine Buffalo would prefer some impact roster players over just 1st rounders too. I can't see them going into an obvious rebuild again this soon.
