We'll hear about it after Eichel is dealt to Vegas where he gets his surgery, makes a full recovery, and goes back to being a point per game or better elite #1C.

He is under contract for 5 more years, it doesn't matter if he has no interest in playing in Canada. If that is the case you acquire him, let him get back to high levels and hopefully either he decides he isn't so opposed anymore or his trade value goes up to where it should be and you get a boatload return. He isn't going to sit out and lose $10M in salary a year by not playing. Get the player here first, then worry about if he wants to stay long term or not.
