The problem I see is how much of an improvement in the long run is it? Taking on Eichel also means his $10M cap hit which is gonna make it hard to re-sign guys like Zibanejad, Shestyorkin, Fox, Kakko, Chytil, Miller, etc.
I get that you've re-signed them here but there's no guarantee they sign for that amount. Losing Zibanejad to UFA puts them tight back where they're at now and in dire need of a good 2C. You'd be banking on Chytil to take that jump which I'm not so sure he will. Pretty risky
