If Eichel comes back after the TDL, but before the POs, Vegas will, in fact, have to make moves in anticipation (assuming no new LTIR) before the TDL and will be accordingly a little short handed during the interim until Eichel does play.
The fact he’s skating now means that Vegas can’t likely sit him until the POs. Kucherov only started skating a few weeks ahead of the POs.
