MTL declines to include Guhle, and counter with:

- Two 1st (2022 MTL and CAR)
- 2nd and 3rd (2022)
- Drouin
- Ylonen

This would be as generous as I would consider for Eichel. If Buf asks for more I'd understand, but I'd walk.

Buffalo definitely walks from that. They’re smarter to sit back and get Eichel healthy.

NYLANDER, sadly Eichel can't even have the surgery he wants till he's traded to a team that accepts that surgery.

I agree BUF would be smarter to get him healthy, but I just don't see them doing the right thing. The situation is toxic, and with both sides dug in, I feel badly for the fans in Buffalo.

I hope for all concerned that Eichel gets traded, gets healthy, and Buf fans get something back to cheer for.
