Ok with Eichel not happy in Buffalo how about we try this

Montreal 2021 Conditional 1st (Condition is 1st if Montreal makes the playoffs 2nd + 3rd if not) + Suzuki + Norlinder

Buffalo Eichel

I think that would be enough but may require a 2022 unconditional 1st as well

Might be the worst proposal I’ve ever seen congratulations. A top 10 player in the nhl for Nick Suzuki, a nobody and potentially a 2nd and 3rd.

Please tell me why you think that is enough. Assuming Montreal doesn't make the playoffs, as Eichel alone probably won't fix enough of their problems to get in. So a 2nd + 3rd + Suzuki + Norlind for Eichel. And Buffalo would be happy with this?

It’s not that far off, Norlinder has a lot of value but still no go from Buffalo.

St.LouisFan while you are right Eichel alone would not guarantee a playoff birth he does go a long way to helping, this year alone Montreal lost a league leading 20 games by 1 goal. An elite talent like Eichel as a first line center could change the outcome of at least 5-10 of those games and that would be enough for the Habs to make the playoffs therefore the Sabres would get that 1st. Also I believe IF Eichel is moved Buffalo will look at rebuilding again over going all in. Suzuki and Norlinder both have more value around the league than you give them credit for. Suzuki = 1st, Norlinder = a low 1st, That essentially gives the Sabres 3 1st's. Plus I did say the Habs might have to add an additional unconditional 1st to get the deal done making the total value of 4 1st round picks which is fair value for any elite talent not named Crosby, McKinnon or McDavid

That offer may get an aging top 6 center close to becoming a UFA, but wouldn't be enough for a 23 year old 1C. Buffalo would want an impact player back, not a bunch of maybes.

Vbbbvvbb that's a pretty brass statement from the guy that thinks Derrmont (or should I say doormat) is a top 4 Dman and worth a 2nd and Brook! Doormat is a solid 3rd pairing guy but definitly not top 4, even the Laffs know this why do you think they are trying to trade him rather than resigning him! And don't tell me it is cause they do not have the money cause they circumvent the cap when they need to so why not now with Doormat? CAUSE HE SUCKS!!!! Dermont = Cici!

Ok so perhaps the value is a slightly low. let's adjust a bit

Montreal - Suzuki + Norlinder + Petry + 2021 unconditional 1st

Buffalo - Eichel + Okoposo (30% retained)

Buffalo would say "Don't call us, we'll call you. "

Dermott is a safe reliable dman who excels in all ends. He has the ability to play top 4 minutes and he would in Montreal. The leafs should trade him because they have Rielly, Muzzin, Sandin ( who is a star in the making ) and the KHL dman of the year in the system.

LMAO DOORMAT is wouldn't even crack the Habs lineup we have Weber Petry Chiarot and Romanov all way better than a Doormat! Then Fleury Juulsen Mete and Kulak who are all at the very least his equal! Where would Doormat fit?

All those good defenseman then why is finding a top 4 LHD so important to Bergevin? It's a top priority according to him. And yes, Dermott is a top 4 defenseman and is better than any of the left handed defensemen you listed.
