It's not like Eichel is an addition without subtraction. The subtractions would be significant, and may not be worth the addition.

He's the sort of centerpiece you need to compete though.
If he's here long enough to build around him then, long term, he may very well be worth the subtractions. If you're thinking right now, short term, then yeah I can see why you may perceive it that way.
You have to give up to get the right foundation for a winning team. We have the goalie but not the game changer up front.
As it stands, its unlikely that we have the bones at forward to push for a cup. After building for 3 years with Eichel in the middle, we might have everything we need to make a run.
The problem is every one here is looking for the shortcut there.
There is no shortcut.
