What's the worst case scenario? Eichel is a massive failure and we have to rebuild? Thank god, force it upon the ownership.
Eichel is probably one of the only pieces available that could change the dynamic of this group. Johnny having Eichel on his line would improve his play substantially. Monahan slotted on the 2nd line and Backlund 3rd line? Sign me up. Losing some prospects and picks will potentially hurt, but if we really want a chance to win without rebuilding, this is the play.
Go watch some highlights of the guy, we have had nothing close to his caliber since Iginla. I would instantly buy an Eichel jersey.

Ya, no kidding. Insanity around here.
