I still think the best thing to do here is look at the Seguin, and Duchene packages to get an idea of what the starting point for Eichel.

Eichel (Seguin)

for

Monahan (Eriksson)
B Prospect - (Smith)
B Prospect - (Morrow)

or

Eichel (Duchene)

for

Monahan (Turris)
B Prospect (Shane Bowers)
Conditional 1st
Conditional 3rd

(Turris was then flipped for more pieces but this was the initial Ottawa-Colorado portion of the trade)

Probably a bit more for Eichel since he was better than Duchene or Seguin were at the time of the deal, but really I don't see a Lindros package happening here. The team trading the elite young player tends to always be disappointed in the return when these trades happen. Plus it's tough for any team to fit in $10M of cap space.

I think the Flames could make the following work cap wise.

Monahan
Bennett
2021 1st Round Pick
2021 3rd Round Pick (EDM)
Prospect

for

Eichel
