I am doubtful buffalo takes any 1 for 1 deal, which means it would still probably be Theodore/Krebs/Pick for Eichel. Vegas in trouble if anyone is ready to return before the playoffs as they are currently already using LTIR for cap relief, and are in a bad spot come the off-season without enough money coming off the books to be able to fit everyone and fill the holes, as it seems almost everyone expiring next year is low cost.
It's hard to see how Vegas can deal away enough salary to not be cap constrained next year, keep enough of their current productive pieces to be competitive this year, and get Eichel.
