Those things have just recently changed, so a deal close to this is probably on the table now, but was not a month ago.

I’d add, there is no reason for Buffalo to move quickly.
They don’t want to be good for 2-3 years. With Eichel or without him. They have baselined offers with nothing. can now share info and add to the price, as you alluded. Then hope timing adds again for playoffs.
If not now other teams will be interested in the summer. If I were them I’d assume Eichel will waive his no trade for a chance to play. Pretty good bet.
If no one meets their price and Eichel sits the next 2 years they lose nothing but some cash.
