Eichel is going to cost something like this:
Monahan or Tkachuk
Mangiapane or Dube
A top prospect
A high pick, depending on strength of prospect
You then have Eichel upgrading the top line, a prospect hopefully recovering the second line in time, and the cost is some prospect depth.
If Monahan is the one to go, might force Lucic out next off-season to pay raises. If it's Tkachuk, Lucic expires with Monahan.
Possible package I would like to move:
Monahan (direct positional upgrade)
Mangiapane (hate to lose him, but he's gonna get paid)
Kylington (sell depth)
2023 1st. (Keep 2022 1st if possible)
I could see Buffalo wanting Pelletier over Kylington, and possibly the 2022 1st instead. I would counter with a second rounder if Pelletier is the one leaving
