Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3971517, member: 1969"] Unfortunately I think Buffalo wanted too much for Eichel. He is a huge risk physically (and perhaps attitude wise) given his large contract. His top side performance warrants that contract, but the downside is significant, and when you have a large contract that will diminish your value. I think Buffalo took a reasonable gamble of trying to wait it out to perhaps raise value a bit / get him in medical order / find desperate teams but it just did not work. Now what is the proper trade? Not sure. The only thing I am sure is that Buffalo fans will be disappointed. It sucks to lose a franchise player for $0.50 or less of that player's "peak" value.
