One of the interesting things with Eichel is because he's going to be out for at least the first half of the season, can't his cap hit be put on LTIR?

Would this be an advantageous situation as the Flames could maybe get away with only trading Mangiapane or even Dube and keeping both Monahan and Tkachuk?

I know you can't bank LTIR space, but it does give the team more time to deal with the cap. Maybe even build up Monahan and Tkachuk's value with a stronger start before trading them?
