We might come out of this looking pretty good if the right deals are made and Eichel recovers.

What that looks like for Buffalo is: trading Eichel for a one or two years of an elite player that walks away at free agency and decreased adders to the package because Gaudreau and Tkachuk are such good players.
I think Buffalo will want the best cost controlled assets they can get back in the deal whether that's players or prospects and to me that isn't Gaudreau or Tkachuk.
