With Eichel having 4.8 seasons left on contract, the ask for any kind of meaningful retention has to be pretty high.

If Buffalo gets that type of return it just proves once again patients pays off.

To me if Eichel is traded this season it's probably going to need to be a 3-way trade similar to the Duchene to Ottawa trade where one of say Dadonov or R.Smith is traded to another team that wants them, guess Eichel could sit on LTIR all year or Vegas could make a separate trade to free up cap space but a 3-way trade seems like the easier route.

An Eichel trade likely needs to be a 3-way trade, most of the guys Vegas (or Calgary who's rumored to be in on Eichel) would need to send to Buffalo to make the cap work have trade protection and they're not waiving it for Buffalo.
