I am now back on the fantasy of the Flames acquiring him while keeping Tkachuk. The third team that I think could be a good fit is the Sens.

To Flames: Eichel
To Sens: Monahan
To Sabres: Dube, L.Brown, Brannstrom, Coronato, Flames 22 1st, Sens 2nd, Panthers 2nd
Sabres get 7 pieces for Eichel including 3 young guys they can plug into their NHL lineup. They get a recent top 15 pick and 3 future picks. I would hope the flames could protect that pick maybe with a games played condition combined with top 10 protection?
Sens get Monahan who would represent a piece that helps them move forward. Dorian just seems like the guy that would pay this price and declare the team is making the playoffs.
Flames make the move 90% of this fanbase wants and all of a sudden this does become a transformational offseason and a clear 5 year window is opened.
Gaudreau-Eichel-Tkachuk
Mangiapane-Lindholm-Coleman
Lucic-Backlund-Pitlick/Pelletier
Lewis-Richardson-Richie/Pitlick
Hanifin-Tanev
Zadorov-Andersson
Valimaki-Mackey
Kylington
Markstrom
Vlader
Love that top 6 and could be a serviceable bottom 6 committed to Sutter style of play.

This would be a very good line up. Assuming you could sign Tkachuk, Johnny and Mangiapane long term.
