That is expecting bounce back seasons from a lot of players all at once. Is Eichel the hail mary to change things up, if so how long does he wait?
If they struggle out of the gate, and the flames normally do, he could be on the hot seat early.

Frankly, a bounce back season from even one of Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Andersson, Valimaki, Hanifin, or Marsktrom would be equivalent to a big off-season add. If only 2/7 of those players have bounce-back seasons, you are talking about the equivalent of two big off-season additions. If 3/7 of them (still less than half) have bounce-back seasons, that's the equivalent of upgrading your entire top line. Do you really think it is very likely that NONE of those players will have a bounce-back season, considering their ages?
