I'd happily spend two picks in the 16-32 range + two picks in the 45-64 range for a top-10 centre in the league. Especially if it meant we kept Pelletier, Zary, and Coronato in the system. That covers us from a young players pushing their way into the roster perspective during the 2-4 year window of contention, and that's all that needs to be the focus. If you're acquiring Eichel your focus is on that sort of window, and those picks aren't really going to pay off in that window in most cases. Pelletier/Zary/Coronato will though.
It may also be appealing to Buffalo that we'd be taking on Eichel's entire $10M without sending any money back. Vegas can't do that. Our cap situation positions us well to do it.
