Whatever. You don't trade a potential top-4 D for a 3rd line C. He might not be a proven NHLer but if he does cement his place in the roster this season, that's tons more valuable to this team than yet another bottom-6 C.

I was relating your hypothetical question to the discussion at hand which was Brannstrom for Dvorak.

Was probably Button's list from April. Most of these types of lists have Brannstrom already graduated on account of not being eligible for the Calder.

I’ve been thinking along the same lines:
White
Brannstrom
Pinto/Greig (they pick)
2022 1st
Conditional 2023 1st (either top ten protected or something like pick transfers if we make the conference finals otherwise it becomes a 2024 1st)

Peace be upon you
Guaranteed he has a spot locked up after training camp. DJ will dress the players he feels give the team the best chance to win.
Chabot-Zaitsev
Brannstrom-Zub
Del Zotto/Mete- Holden/Brown
We might as well play poorly to finish lower in the standings to get a higher draft pick. Growing through the draft!
I believe the team can choose to walk away if the amount awarded is above ~4.5 million

Bring in Peter
It's very hard to say that that's a better offer, because we have no idea how the Sabres value any of those players.
For all we know, Buffalo loves Krebs and Hague, and don't project Pinto or Brannstrom to be top-6/4 players.
Nic Hague, specifically, is incredibly intriguing. He's a 6'6, 230 lb defenseman, who can skate, and scored 17 points in 52 games, with a +14, as a 22 year old rookie. The guy put up a 35 goal, 78 point season in junior. AS A 6'6 DEFENSEMAN!
I could see how Kevyn Adams would think a defense with Dahlin, Power and Hague could be a fantastic building block. In their eyes, we may not have anyone as good, other than Sanderson.

I think that the teams that are kicking the tires on Eichel are hesitant on offering too much due to the neck injury and pending surgery. Conversely, I doubt that Buffalo is offering any discounts due to the injury. IMO, there’s no way Buffalo can get full value until it’s clear that Eichel has recovered.
Rachel’s doctor, Dr. Chad Prusmack, outlined two pathways available for Eichel on Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman's "31 Thoughts" podcast. The first, which is what the Sabres prefer, is an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery. The procedure Prusmack recommends for the Sabres captain is an artificial disc replacement surgery. In both procedures, the injured disc is removed through the front of the throat. However, in a fusion surgery, a surgeon will insert a graft, and the bones will fuse over time. In a replacement surgery, meanwhile, the disc is swapped out for an artificial one. Prusmack likens the replacement procedure to getting an artificial knee or hip.
I don’t see a trade happening anytime soon.

I mean he played on a really bad Arizona team.
Also he had only 5 less points than Brady.
Yes there is an age gap of a couple years between the two but Dvorak is still improving

Eichel drama escalates as Sabres work the lines — The Fourth Period
David Pagnotta speculates that the Sabres may be willing to retain to up the offers.

Thats a Melnyk and Dorion special right there!
Retaining really helps the Rangers, Boston, and potentially the Knights.
Knights are especially interesting because it opens them up to a much more futures oriented package,

i mean it should help ottawa immensely but of course the ask would be high

This is my final offer for Eichel :
1st round pick in 2022 (unprotected)
Erik Brannstrom
Filip Gustavsson
Roby Jarventie
Logan Brown
2nd round pick in 2022

I thought he was still under contract with NJ... It's a no brainer! But maybe he wanted too much/too long, or just didn't want to come in Ottawa
