If LA wants Eichel, they will get him. They have a lot of attractive assets to offer and they desperately want to make the playoffs next season. Doughty has made it public that he doesn't want to go on a rebuild, so I can see them making a big push.
Any trade involving a top 5 center is going to include blue chippers a pick and a valuable member of the current team.
the Tkachuk + Valimaki or 12th proposals are not even going to get them interested.
they are trading a premier position for a winger (both downgrades in skill and position) for a player who might bolt in a couple of years and is due for 9m next contract? Not gonna happen.
Lindholm + 12th and Dube/Zary is what I think will get it done.
