He'd be playing on the first line not the second line. Especially with Virtanen being on a team's top line over Eichel is just that icing on top of the cake. I didn’t say or imply otherwise. I only put Petey and Boeser together in my suggested line combos so that both lines would be balanced. Eichel would be good enough to carry Hogz and Podz whereas Petey likely wouldn’t.

For all of Jake’s warts, the guy was on pace to scoring 20 goals last season, clubbing or not. The Covid life and Covid fatigue is an actual thing and people react differently to it. My guess is that more sociable people are likely to be affected by it more intensely. This might explain why guys like Virtanen, Miller, and even Nate Schmidt aren’t playing up to their potential.

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Could be a nice upgrade on Pettersson to be honest. Yes, Petey is a fan-favourite but Eichel is arguably much stronger offensive and defensively. We'd have to give up something nice though for it. Petey + 1st (top-10 protected, or 2nd) + Virtanen for Eichel + depth player coming back to even numbers might do the trick? If they want a defenceman throw them Chatfield instead of Virtanen. Anything more would be over-payment. Simplified, Petey + Virtanen probably isn't enough, Petey + 2nd might do it though. I don't see Buffalo making that trade because 1-for-1 Eichel has been better so far and Pettersson is a bit of a wild card, he could burst out but lately he hasn't proven he's an 80-100 point player yet whereas Eichel can be and has done with useless linemates.

I agree that Eichel is a better C than Pete and his physical superiority makes him a more complete player. The 2yr difference in age needs to be acknowledged though, as both players have almost identical #s in their first 2 years in the NHL. This year appears to be an anomaly for many players throughout the league; including Pete and several of his teammates. For whatever reason(s), EP is not performing as expected, but at just 22yrs, it would be unwise to think that what you have seen is as good as it gets for Petterson. I really don't know what Buff would want for Eichel, but I really doubt Chatfied or Virtanen would be included on the mix. I suspect that 8yrs of top 10 draft picks and 9 years of no P/Os, would indicate that they aren't searching for more draft picks either. They have some excellent players on their team who are struggling, so they might want to shake things up a bit. More like restructuring than rebuilding; the team as it is, is looking like a team with no chemistry or character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this earlier but I honestly wonder if Buffalo would be interested in a Pettersson + Hughes + ??? For Eichel + Dahlin swap. As you’ve mentioned, Eichel is clearly a superior player to Pettersson, and while Hughes is better offensively than Dahlin (as of now), Dahlin is the stronger two way dman. Given Dahlin’s skill set, you could play him with Nate Schmidt and form a power pairing (whereas a Hughes-Schmidt pairing wouldn’t work since it would be too much of a liability defensively).

BigTramFan Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 A slightly different way to do it if you were starting with the Eichel trade (which is unrealistic but interesting to consider imo)...potential roster from capfriendly for 2021-22 attached.

JohnnyCanucks12 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 How about Bo, Schmidt, and Podkolzin for Eichel? And keep Virtanen in the middle 6. I can see Bo wanting to go back east after his contract is up. We would be getting good value for a player that may walk in 2 years anyway.

Provost Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Trading for Eichel in a way that doesn’t decimate our depth would be a really tough and bold prospect. One big issue is that he is a great player, but he is also locked into a huge “pre-covid” value contract that assumed a steadily increasing cap to make it more palatable. We are likely to get Petterson on a bridge deal in the $7-7.5 million range. We would absolutely have to re-sign Petterson and Hughes first, just so we still have a lower internal cap. I think Petterson and Horvat are a non starter. We are better if we can either spread those guys on three lines who get similar minutes or just slide Petterson back to the wing where he was also dominant in the SHL.

Perhaps another thing to consider is that Buffalo is forced to leave a forward exposed in the draft who would otherwise have been protected, assuming that both Horvat and Miller would be protected. Maybe this could be an additional cost for Buffalo turning down this trade... but, on second thought, looking at the Buffalo forwards maybe this wouldn't be too much of a problem. regards, G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I wouldn't do it. I'd even question Horvat for Eichel straight up. I know Eichel's worth more than Horvat, but Horvat's proven to fit on this team. Eichel isn't. So, while I don't question the value, I question it being the right move for this team. I actually think it would be the wrong move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
