Apparently after a full day of back and forth yesterday between Montreal and Buffalo, Habs have upped their offer for Eichel and are waiting for a clear medical report. A few teams have dropped out of the sweepstakes, notably, Minnesota. Few teams remain. #GoHabsGo

According to reliable information, the Sabres' request starts with the names of Nick Suzuki, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Alexander Romanov. And they don't intend to settle for just one of those three players. They also ask for prospects and picks. Personally, I would have no problem involving Kotkaniemi in the equation. Not more than one of the first-round picks and a few prospects. Jonathan Drouin's name might also come up in talks. Who knows? «

We think the offer will most likely look like KK + 2 top MTL prospects + 2 1st rounders.
