Just my opinion, but I feel that if we don't find a way to replace Gio anyway, I don't think even Eichel would keep us out of the lottery. Eichel was on pace for 7 goals over 82 games last year. I highly doubt he gets back to 100% for next season, so trading for him likely writes off the season anyway.

If we are going to be that bad in your mind, you must be pro trading Gaudreau and everyone not nailed down to embrace the tank?
