Also, if you’re Buffalo, and looking at the current situation of both teams, the Vegas pick has a higher potential to be the higher pick. Vegas is stumbling out the gate, Buffalo got one of their good players, and Vegas will have to clear space to fit Eichel into the cap structure.
Also, since Vegas has the room, due to LTIR, Buffalo doesn’t have to take on any cap dump! Buffalo must have weighed the packages, and determined flexibility trumps whatever sweeteners Calgary might have been offering…
