So hes paid relatively what he is worth.
But that's part of the point. You are giving up assets to get a guy who's contract pays him what he is worth. There is no extra value there.
You could trade Monny and Hanifin for picks and prospects instead of for Eichel, and then use the 10 million on FA's and have FA's AND Assets.
I just don't get the desire to pay a premium in assets for a player who is paid relatively equal to his value, when we aren't 1 piece from a cup.
We would just be Buffalo 2.0

The extra value is having an elite #1 centre for the first time in 30 years and maybe actually getting closer to winning something.
We are not trying to build the best spreadsheet here.
