If I am a Sabres executive Eichel is essentially as untouchable as it gets. Unless he flat out asks for a trade there is likely not many packages a team can present that will get my interest. It's no trade secret that having a number one C to build a team around is the path to success, even the Sabres management knows this. So the proposals of "Monahan, Tkachuk and a 1st" for a bonafide number 1 centre, 24 years old, under contract for 5 more years, would receive audible laughter on the other end of the phone.
You lost me as soon as you said sky high overvaluation of our own players. This fan base is notoriously bad for thinking all our players are worth F all so I didn't even need to read the rest of that ramble.
