I know you are desperate to get rid of Eichel but at least look at things from the other fans POV. Eichel would be coming to a team that has only 2 good players under 25 (Zegras and Drysdale), no prospect pool (once Comtois, 3OA, Perreault, and Dostal are gone), no ability to draw name free agents, and very few tradeable assets. How do they build around Eichel?
Yes, me, a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, is desperate to get rid of Eichel
I'm looking at it from a neutral perspective. If Murray isn't willing to trade Comtois and #3 overall for Eichel, he should be fired on the spot.
How do you build around Eichel, Zegras, Drysdale and Gibson? Idk, maybe you could:
1. Draft well with the plethora of draft picks the Ducks have
2. Trade players currently on the roster for futures
3. Realize that you have your 4 biggest pieces (1C, 2C, 1D and 1G) established, so you don't need some top of the line prospects to fill out the rest of the roster
4. Realize the Ducks also have a lot of decent young talent even after that trade, so the "no prospect pool" is a hilarious exaggeration.
