I expect we’ll see that sort of conditional pick included in any deal. Insiders have commented that back in the summer the Sabres were not entertaining offers with conditional picks, but they relented a few weeks ago.
I could see a conditional 2nd round pick in 2022 if Eichel plays 20 games in the 2021-22 season or something like that.
