I personally think its a mistake for the Sabres to ask for a bunch of pieces. Duchene was an exception, but generally speaking, teams lose trades when they ask for numerous pieces for one really good player. Based on history, I don't think the team that gets Eichel will end up giving up a lot of really great pieces unless Adams is as patient as Sakic. (And I don't think the current circumstances will even allow Adams to be that patient.)
