The return on these elite players is almost always underwhelming because unless you have the rare case of two teams willing to swap elite guys (ie Weber for Subban) it’s always a quantity for quality deal.
Can the people who think Eichel will bring back a king’s ransom cite some examples of comparable trades?
The Ducks deal I floated is a top-pairing RD, elite goalie prospect, and #3 OA pick. It also has the Ducks taking on $5 mil in salary. What are some examples of bigger returns for one player?
