You make the trade, he has to be a dominant PPG+ player for you. Anything else is a horrible loss.

Definitely. This trade, if it happens, is the absolute last kick at the can for this management group. Has to be a slam dunk. With a player of Eichel’s capability/peak, it definitely can be. His injury really muddies things up, but is a major factor of why he can be acquired for the price he will eventually be acquired for.
