That moves out 9 million, idk if you’d have to do more. If you go and move actual top of roster players for Eichel it just hurts you until he’s healthy. Would this have been way easier to do back in June, yes.
How is this a realistic trade at all for Buffalo? Why would they take Lucic and Zadorov, who arguably have negative trade value?
