Don't be dense.

Well, for starters:
Hanifin >>>> Montour.
Bennett > Mittelstadt.
Ryan = Eakin.
Pelletier > Johnson.
And because you put them as “in the same class”, let me also show you this:
Eichel >>>>>>>>>> Monahan
So your value comparison is off.
Sure we’re hoping to make the playoffs - but is Buffalo hoping to make the playoffs? Well, I’m sure they’re hoping to win the Stanley Cup but they’re one of the worst teams in the league, and Eichel has openly discussed his dissatisfaction with the Sabres organization and lack of success.
Do you really believe Buffalo is going to trade Eichel and hope to get better today? This season is already a lost cause in Buffalo. They won’t be making any short term trades.
