If you're Montreal why wouldn't you use the assets you gained from the offer sheet to meet the Eichel ask? I was worried that Carolina just gift wrapped them Eichel. They were in the rumors for him, and just got 2 assets that are worth more than the player they lost to offer-sheet.

Something about that whole situation doesn't add up. The reported ask of 4 good assets is high but never struck me as astronomical. Either the media has it wrong and it's higher cost than reported or there's some other factor involved. The risk of the injury? Making the cap work? Cowardice?
