So, from what I can somewhat wrap my head around this trade, you want the Hurricanes to essentially pay the Sabres on the Blue Jackets behalf to get Eichel. With the canes package the canes could just acquire Eichel plus with that. The only valuable piece the Jackets are providing for Eichel is Kent Johnson, who was just drafted. Yeah, there's the pick there as well, but you could easily call draft capital "magic beans" and it would be the same thing. Why would the Canes even consider something like this?
