I don't understand why people get so salty over these discussions. If fans want certain players they want those players. If fans don't want to give up players then they don't. The pathological need to be right is amazing. If the cost to acquire Eichal is Zegras then as a Ducks fan I walk away. Plain and simple. He is cheaper and has the upside to be a similar caliber player. probably not as good but he is also 5 years younger, doesn't have an significant injury history and oh, yeah, costs 1/10 of the other guy. It is why other fans want him in return. Doesn't mean that isn't what Buffalo wants either. People are also pooping on the 3rd OA but Zegras was 9th OA. Pasternack was, what, 25th OA. It doesn't mean there aren't good players in this draft and according to reports Buffalo is very comfortable with this draft. They have probably been scouting for longer than most teams. I think the Ducks Athletic Write compiled a list of the last 10 3rd OA, a list that included Huberdeau, Draisaitl, PLD, Heiskanen, Dach and Stuztle. Sure you could also get Drouin or Galchenyuk but chances are better than 50% that you'll get a first line player with the 3rd OA.
