That becomes a problem in 4 years, when who knows what Eichel's contract will be actually worth, the salary cap will be quite a bit higher, and there will likely a lot worse players than O'Reilly making 7 million. We also have very few players signed to long term contracts -- we have exactly three players signed on for the 2018-19 season (when Eichel and Reinhart come off their ELC's) so far. The money isn't a huge issue.
