You make the Eichel deal and then you use Tkachuk to fill the gaps created to bring in Eichel. You're better off dealing away his big salary and then committing the money to Mangiapane and the other RFAs, and add a couple players to fill the gaps. Still say it was a big mistake not to move him to St. Louis when they had the chance. Tarasenko, Kyrou and Perunovich would have been some really nice adds to the team, now and in the future. I hope that boat hasn't completely sailed.
