We keep prospects and I frankly think Tkachuk is over-rated

After giving it some thought, I think Tkachuk and a smaller + (1st or Zary/Pelletier) is ideally what you'd want to deal for Eichel.
30 million between Gaudreau, Tkachuk and Eichel would be too much to work around, and it can be argued Matthew while a great asset to have, isn't playing at a $9MM dollar level and it's hard to say if he will get better over time. But Buffalo can eat those dollars and gets a useful player who is still young.
Shipping Matthew for eichel would give us more cap flexibility and with the overpriced 1 year deals for the d-vets coming off the books we can afford those raises for Gaudreau and Bread.
