In terms of trade return expectations, it’s not like the Flames need to be in a huge rush to trade him. Also Buffalo might be desperate to give Eichel some high level skill. If they don’t improve fast, he’ll probably ask to be traded.

Yes and no. 3-5 team NTC kicks in July 1, 2021 (or presumably 8-10 days after next years draft date). If you can't get it done this off-season, then you are unlikely to have much of a market until after the expansion draft, which gives an even more critical deadline to work against.
IMO the return will be underwhelming whenever it happens, but I think it's only going to get worse the longer they wait.
