You could offer NJ's 3 most valuable assets for Eichel and you'd still get laughed off the phone.
Nice to see mods cant grasp basic concepts either.
I'm shocked at how thick the three of you are.
Nobody, not once, compared Hischier to Eichel. Nobody proposed a trade of Hischier for Eichel. Nobody has tried to say that Hischier is a 1st line centerman on par with the best centers in the NHL. You guys are focusing on and arguing about things that nobody has f***in said.
What was said, and I can't believe I'm going to say it once again because clearly there's no possible way to spell it out as simply as possible so that you can comprehend it, is that...
NICO HISCHIER IS THE NEW JERSEY DEVILS BEST CENTER. HE IS THEIR 1C CURRENTLY (YOUR SEMANTICAL 50POINT PLAYERS ARE 1C's NOW IS IRRELEVANT), AND MOVING FORWARD UNTIL THEY OBTAIN SOMEONE BETTER. HE IS YOUNG, COST CONTROLLED, PROVEN TOP 6 PLAYER WHO POSTED 52 POINTS AS A ROOKIE ON A BAD TEAM AND IS ONLY 21 YEARS OLD.
IT MAKES NO SENSE TO TRADE HIM UNLESS THE TEAM IS RECEIVING A CENTER OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE TO FILL THE HOLE HISCHIER WOULD LEAVE. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THINKING HISCHIER IS WORTH JACK EICHEL, OR IS OR WILL BE AS GOOD OF A HOCKEY PLAYER AS JACK EICHEL. IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH NOT MOVING YOUR BEST YOUNG TALENT WITHOUT RECEIVING GREATER OR EQUAL VALUE THAT CAN STEP IN AND REPLACE WHAT YOU JUST LOST. ITS POINTLESS MUCH LIKE EVERY TRADE PROPOSAL HERE THAT FOR SOME REASON INCLUDES TEAMS BEST PLAYERS AND ARE IMMEDIATELY ACKNOWLEDGED AS "THIS TRADE WOULD NEVER HAPPEN".
The reason every single trade proposal like that turns into a pissing match is because 90% of the posters here seem incapable of understanding simple logic. Like if I wanted to trade Draisaitl. He's so important to the team that the only conceivable reason you'd trade him is if you're receiving an overpayment in return. Do I think Drai is worth Seth Jones and PLD? No. But it makes no sense to move him unless you receive something like that in return. But this concept seems to be beyond a large number of people here who then argue and insult each other because "lolz u actually think Drai is worth that?"
No, dipshit. I don't. I just don't want to trade him unless I get something like that back so if that means you don't like the price stop f***in asking".
And to the guy who said it's unknown if Hischier is better than Cozens currently, you're way the hell off. It is proven that Hischier is currently a much better NHLer than Cozens as evidenced by the fact that Nico posted a 52 point season as a teenage rookie.
