As painful as it sounds you leave that trade with a franchise center and 8 mil in cap space to bring in 2 more good players. Eichel is also signed longer than all 3, through his prime.
Buffalo likely wants you to retain or take some salary back to make it work (although they did shed Hall as well). I would take some salary back but not Skinner.

Thing is, that trade basically turns Buffalo into Calgary except without goaltending or defencemen. So I'm not sure about their plan or why they do it. They'd be running:

Tkachuk Lindholm Reinhart
Oloffson Monahan Okposo

This kinda looks like the Flames except older on the second line.
