Really though where's the blue chip prospect in that offer? Monahan is ideally a 2nd line center. Zary and Palletier are regarded as middle 6 prospects. The 1st round pick even if the Flames miss the playoffs is likely in the range of their pick this year. If you are the Sabres GM are you going to trade your franchise player for a handful of players, none of who may even have first line potential? You can see why a deal hasn't been made if this is the offers they have received.
From the Flames point of view it totally depletes their prospect cupboard for a player that's got some major injury question marks. Personally the moment I heard that offer I have been totally off the bandwagon of acquiring the player. I just don't think 4/5 years of Eichel are worth the long term ramifications of a trade like this.
