My attempt would be:
Tkatchuk and 2 2nds for Eichel.

I don't know what the add would be but Tkachuk would certainly be more in the Sabres' window - he's only 23. And IMO the Flames can afford to lose him - he's a LW playing out of position and seeming a little lost in doing so, even with his linemates playing really well right now.
I just don't know if the salary and risk he walks to FA is a dealbreaker for their management.
