it's hard enough to win any type of trade war involving Eichel (and it would be a war) without calling our top players off limits.
The team likely in the best position to trade for Eichel is the one giving up the best current asset in the deal. And that will not be Monny.

People said Sam Bennett had no value either. I saw a lot of 3rd or 4th round picks, but he ended up with essentially 2 x 2nds. So while I agree a little bit that Monahan's value has tanked, Monahan's spot is the position that needs to be upgraded. Eichel taking over as the new #1 or #2 center makes this team more dangerous without creating more holes in the line up.
I just don't know if punching massive holes everywhere else just to add Eichel makes the Flames any better than the Sabres right now. Contrary to popular belief, finding good wingers isn't that easy. Heck, look at us as an example, we've tried to fill the RW hole for years and we can't seem to do it, especially this season as the RW position was a complete and utter disaster in that regard.
