Eichel is a very fast skater.
My personal preference is Monahan (plus) for Eichel.
Keeping Lindholm to be the 2nd line C would be crucial in my eyes. If you manage to keep Tkachuk also, well then you've really got something brewing then.
Gaudreau - Eichel - XXXXX
Tkachuk - Lindholm - XXXXX
That's the start of a really solid top 6, and with Eichel/Lindholm being right hand shots, it lessens the importance having a right shooting winger added to fill those lines out IMO.
Yes, the "plus" would need to be significant
Yes, some cap would need to be cleared somehow
Hopefully some cap is taken in the off season by Seattle, IE Backlund or Giordano
I dunno:
Monahan, Bennett, 2021 1st, Zary or Pelletier
If Buffalo decided to move Eichel for whatever reason, that's got to be in the ball park IMO.
