It would actually be quite easy for Vegas to be able to fit Eichel, especially since Buffalo would surely take salary back
Tuch and Smith takes you to almost 10 on their own. Patrick's contract is surely going to not be anywhere close to expensive; he needs a show-me year more than anything. McNabb makes 2.5 and is in the last year of his deal.
You could move one of Pacioretty or Marchessualt too, since they don't have full no-trade clauses.
It might not be likely, but just because they're up against the cap now, they're not necessarily out. Fill out your lineup with the cheap filler leftover.
