Are pieces like 3rd OA, Zegras, Drysdale really more interesting that Tkachuk?
Personally, I don't think so. Matthew Tkachuk is only 23, yet has had 3 years of high production.

7+ years of the former vs. 2 years of the latter.

Something around that but each team is essentially taking some sort of risk in the players they get with St. Louis adding more to get rid of Tarasenko and get the better player.

The concept is sound, but it would have to be some premium pieces for STL. I think an Eichel deal will be too complicated to be a formal 3-way trade, but for CGY to do it I think it would have to two-step trade:
Tkachuk for Tarasenko + Kyrou/Thomas + picks/prospects
Monahan for good youth/futures and an AAV>$$ contract (not many obvious options w/o NTCs - Ladd, Quick, and Schmidt are some random possibilities)
Then Andersson + AAV>$$ + futures for Eichel.
