It’ll cost four 1st round picks. Some combination of:

Coronato
22 1st
23 1st
The stuff off the roster is for cap purposes. Switch Valimaki with Zadorov, because his $4M ticket makes it easier for the math to work.
Monahan may need to go to a 3rd team - that 3rd team could even be Vegas.
These futures buy us Eichel, but they also allow us to not include Dube and Mangiapane, and also improve our chances to retain Gaudreau - I would not be surprised if a Johnny extension was announced along with the Eichel acquisition.
If you were trading Dube or Bread or Johnny, you’d expect a 1st back at minimum anyway.
That’s my read on it, anyway. I could be way off.

My thoughts exactly with Gaudreau. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Johnny extension quickly or around the same time as an Eichel acquisition. I hope it happens.
