The Athletic has a story right now where they took some reader trade proposals and put them in front of NHL execs to ask which side says no. Here is the Eichel trade:

Buffalo Sabres send Jack Eichel to the Avalanche for defenseman Bowen Byram, Alex Newhook, 2021 second-round pick, unprotected 2022 first-round pick.

That is a better package than what has been proposed in here, and better than probably anything Calgary could realistically offer... and still the NHL execs say Buffalo wouldn't take it.
