I wonder if there are even more dominoes preceding Eichel: Barkov, Zibanejad, Couturier, Malkin, and several consolation prizes (Hertl, Kadri, Strome) potentially available.
It probably doesn't affect CGY or MIN very much, but until some of those names come off the possibility board it doesn't make much sense for VGK or ANA or LAK to take on unnecessary risk.
