The more I think about it, the more I think this trade is going to be a massive fail for the Sabres.

It's amazing how much more Colorado got for Matt Duchene than Buffalo got for Eichel. Different circumstances, for sure. Shows how much his value was hurt by the fact he was injured and about to have experimental surgery.
My guess is the no protected top 10 was the price the Sabres had to pay for no conditional elements to the trade (based on Eichel playing X number of games, achieving X number of points, etc.).
