They will struggle to reach the cap floor as it stands, any Eichel trade will likely lower their team salary regardless of who they get.
I think carrying this circus show into the season is madness on Buffalo's part, but they seem totally prepared to do just that.

This is true, and Monahan has the benefit of being (a) a relatively high draft pick; (b) a guy who has scored a lot and therefore a name to “sell”; (c) potential upside after his injury; and (c) a centre. To a casual fan, Monahan’s career stats would look pretty good.
