It's not accurate, nor fair. You are making an offer that puts 100% of the risk on the Sabres by giving up a guy that is a UFA in a year (that NYR won't likely re-sign) and conditional picks.
I agree with your statement above, that the Ranger's shouldn't trade for Eichel if he's not healthy, and that's a fine statement to make, but to make a bad offer (sorry Bern, your offer is bad) doesn't make any sense for Buffalo. I'm a neutral party here and can recognize that.
So it's either don't make an offer, or wait and make an offer later, not "make a bad offer now that eliminates all risk". Buffalo has zero incentive to make a deal like you are stating.
Why are you and others allowing BUF to get away with a false narrative?
not trying to be snide here, but you see my pt?
I'm not buying into any false narrative.
1) I don't think Buffalo will get the return many buffalo fans are requesting on here and in other threads.
2) I recognize that there is a health risk.
I just don't see a situation where Buffalo absorbs all the risk in a trade, otherwise it make more sense just to not trade him. That's how I see it.
