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.

Yeah, this is why I think the futures are the assets they are looking for. The picks and prospects are what they would be looking for. As for the rest, Monahan would fill a spot at C in the interim, Hanifin is a young guy who would still be around for the rebuild. Plus they aren’t paying Eichel that fat salary.
