I think my dream off-season is Eichel + a Gaudreau extension, and Backlund to Seattle.
Centre depth: Eichel, Lindholm, Monahan.

I really don't see the fit for Tkachuk. Those speculating it probably aren't very aware of his QO to UFA path. I could see us trading Tkachuk somewhere else and using the return on an Eichel deal.
I think are the more likely starting points for BUF are:
Andersson/Valimaki+Dubé/Mangi + Pelletier/Zary + 1st + 2nd
You can be pretty sure Backs and Monahan will have BUF on their NTC lists. Maybe it takes more assets (Wolf?), or maybe we have to plug our nose and include Lindholm instead of the 2nd, but take back Reinhart or Risto.
