To MTL:
Jack Eichel
Jordan Eberle
OTT 2 2022
To OTT:
Sebastian Aho
Jamie Benn
Nils Hoglander
Phew... After a couple of days negotiating this is where we ended up. The loss of Benn’s physicality and offensive qualities is tough. Really tough. But my reasoning is that he will be easier for me to replace eventually than it is to find a star player like Eichel. The advantage over Aho may not seem huge, but being a point or two better at just about everything + the larger difference in PO is alluring. Hoglander was a second round pick and is replaced with the OTT 2 2022.
Thanx Mike for very good talks where counters were made with respect and ambition to make it work for both sides all the way!
