I see a legitimate and potential path to Eichel that makes sense to me for a team that is all in with Sutter and Markstrom.
I liked how the team looked 5 on 5 and just saw a team with high end talent capitalize on their chances. Giving up Monahan+Gudbransen/Zadorov (cap hits) + futures to get Eichel and then keeping Gaudreau long term is a path to being a team that can contend in my opinion.
If Eichel doesn’t work then I think the rebuild path is inevitable this summer or the one after
