If you add in Dube I think that’s a reasonable offer. I agree, Buffalo’s price is way too high obviously so that won’t get it done right now. But I figure this trade makes it so the flames and Buffalo share the risk of teller injuries to each player. There’s a real chance neither player ever returns to the quality of player they were. There’s a chance Monahan bounces back and eichel is a shadow of his former self in which case Buffalo looks really good in this deal. If eichel ends up returning to form but Monahan doesn’t, the flames end up looking good in the deal but gave up 3 young, cost-controlled players (Dube, Pelletier/Zary, and the player from the first round pick) that have a ton of potential. Both Monahan and eichel could return to their former selves and the flames will have given up a 60-70 point center for an 80-90 point center along with the majority of the young prospects/players that the team has to offer.
Again, I think that’s a reasonable offer/deal. I don’t think Buffalo will take it. At least not right now.
